200-2342_v2
QUICK START GUIDE
The MediaStar Evolution 783 LAN-Caster allows
DVB-T/C TV and Radio channels to be streamed onto
an IP network. Connect a DVB-T/T2 aerial signal into
the LAN-Caster and use the simple browser based
control interface to stream up to 15 channels from
a single RF multiplex onto the network.
A networked MediaStar Digital Media Decoder display
unit can then decode these streams and output the
video and audio to an LCD or OLED display.
The MediaStar ‘Viewer’ software application can decode
the streams and provide live TV pictures and sound on
a PC.

Installation
This LAN-Caster unit should only be used in a MediaStar Evolution 770 rack that has been fully installed in accordance
with its safety instructions. Refer to the ‘Connecting Terrestrial RF’ section for recommendations of the antenna
Lightening protection required for this equipment. There are no user serviceable parts within this module. Refer all
servicing to qualied service personnel.
The 783 LAN-Caster module may be installed in the 770 rack with the power on or o. If the rack is powered, take
care to ensure this module is engaged correctly in the plastic card guides and does not touch adjacent cards as it is
slid into (or pulled out of) the rack. If the 770 rack is powered down to install a new module, please remember that
all video/audio services being provided by the equipment in that rack will be lost while it is powered o. Electrical
static discharge precautions should be taken when handling the module. If you wish to use a CAM module with the
LAN-Caster, this should be installed inside the module before it is inserted in the rack. Please see the CAM installation
instructions later in this guide for further details.

To install the 783 module, do the following:
1. Remove the existing front panel blanking plate(s) on
the770 rack. This is done by unscrewing the nger-screw
fasteners. Retain this blanking plate in case the LAN-
Caster module is removed from the rack in the future.
2. Carefully locate the top and bottom edges of the blade’s
printed circuit board (PCB) into the plastic rack slides, and
gently push it in. As the ‘blade’ reaches the back of the
rack, a plastic aperture cover on the rear of the rack will
be pushed o by the module’s connectors. Collect the
discarded aperture cover and dispose of it correctly.
If the rack is powered up, the new module will automat-
ically power up as it is pushed in and the BLUE POWER
LED on the front of the LAN-Caster will be on. The LCD
panel will show the boot up progress of the unit, then
its operational status.
3. Tighten the top and bottom nger screw fasteners to
hold the module in the rack
4. Connect the RF input cable to the rear of the
LAN-Caster in accordance with the instructions below.
5. Set the unit’s IP address, in accordance with the
instructions shown below. Only use IP address details
that have been supplied by your network administrator.
6. Plug the LAN-Caster into the LAN switch using the CAT5
patch cable supplied. It will Auto-negotiate a 100Mbps
link with your network switch.
7. Connect to the LAN-Caster’s conguration web pages
using a PC and Web browser software (e.g. Internet
Explorer, Chrome or Firefox), by entering the LAN-Caster’s
IP address into the browser’s address bar. The LAN-Cast-
er’s specication page will then be shown.
8. Click on the Installation page link on the left hand side
panel, and select appropriate DVB Mode – DVB-T or
DVB-C. Once selected you can click on the Channel Setup
page and click the SCAN button. This will initiate an RF
frequency scan with a progress bar showing the scan
progress. When the scan is complete, a list of detected
RF multiplexes will be shown.
9. Click on the RF multiplex ‘radio’ button to show a list
of the TV and Radio channels that are available from a
particular multiplex at the bottom of the web page. Select
the channels to stream on the network, by ticking the
‘Enabled’ tick-box and entering the stream details into
the webpage. Upto 15 channels may be simultaneously
transmitted, each on its own multicast or unicast address.
Press the APPLY button at the bottom of the page to save
these settings and start the stream transmission on the
network. The channel stream parameters include the
multicast (or unicast) stream address, portnumber, TTL,
and the Dierentiated Services Code Point (DSCP for QoS
packet tagging). Consult your network administrator to
get suitable values for these settings.
Channel settings may be stored for more than one RF
multiplex at a time, but only the channels on the currently
TUNED multiplex will be streamed on the network. The
rotating ‘Tuned’ icon on the list of multiplexes shows
which multiplex is currently ‘Tuned’. When a non ‘Tuned’
multiplex is selected, a tick-box will appear at the bottom
of the webpage to allow this RF multiplex to be ‘Tuned’.
If you don’t know the RF multiplex that contains your
desired TV channel, click on the Channel List link on the left
hand side and click on the letter of the channel name you
wish to stream. An alphabetical list of the channels starting
with the specied rst letter will be shown. Click on the
name of the channel you wish to stream – this will then take
you back to the Channel Setup page with the appropriate
RF multiplex selected. Scroll to the bottom of the page to
see all the channels available from that multiplex.
10. In ‘normal’ operation when the RF feed is present and the
LAN-Caster is streaming onto the network, the STATUS LED
on the front panel will be constant GREEN. If the RF feed is
missing or the streams have been turned o, the STATUS
LED will ash GREEN. The LCD will show the‘normal’
operating status or the highest priority error condition.
During boot, the STATUS LED will ash ORANGE. If the
STATUS LED is ashing RED, a softwareupgrade is in
progress, and if the STATUS LED shows constant RED,
and internal error has occurred and the unit should be
returned to Cabletime for repair.

Connecting Terrestrial RF
Connection of the MediaStar 783 LAN-Caster directly or indirectly to a roof top antenna without suitable protection
devices can leave the unit vulnerable to lightning strike/ atmospheric electrical discharge that may result in damage
and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
To minimise the possibility of damage from atmospheric electricity always: -
Follow best practice as dictated by your local electrical code and/or trade association.
•Use coaxial over voltage protection units.
•Bond all masts and antennas to the building protective earth and where available, the lightening protection system.
• Ensure that the screensd of all coaxial cables entering and leaving the headend and/or ampliers are bonded to the
protective earth.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time
Connect your RF source into the RF IN F-connector on the rear of the unit, and ensure it is tightened up. The RF OUT
F-connector outputs the received signals so the RF can be looped through and passed on to other 783 units.
For terrestrial RF, the RF OUT F -connector outputs the received signals so the RF can be looped through and passed
on to other 783 units.
For Cable TV, it recommended that RF loop through is not used, and that a separate Cable TV feed is provided for each
DVB-C unit using external splitters.
Note: Reliance upon the MediaStar 770 rack safety earth provided by the AC power cord alone is insucient to
protect the unit from atmospheric voltage discharges.
Conguring the LAN-Caster’s IP Address
A suitable IP address should be selected before connection to a network. The LAN-Caster unit is precongured with
a static IP address of 191.53.51.209. This will need to be recongured if it is not suitable for your network.
Use the front panel LCD and push buttons to set the IP address settings.
Press the front panel < (LEFT) and > (RIGHT) buttons to move through the LCD menu options.
Press the OK button to select a menu or conrm a change. Press the < (LEFT) and > (RIGHT) buttons
together to move back up a menu level.
1. Press the < (LEFT) to show the IP Settings menu and press OK to enter the menu.
2. Press < (LEFT) and OK to select the static IP address settings.
3. Press OK to edit the current static IP address; Use the < (LEFT) and > (RIGHT) buttons to select
the appropriate digit and press OK to conrm it. The next digit can then be edited in the same
way. Once the last digit is entered, the IP address is checked and then applied.
4. The IP netmask, gateway and DNS server can be set in the same way.
Note: The MAC address of the unit can be found under the Unit Details/MAC Address menu,
or on the label on the bottom face of the unit.

DVB-T/T2 RF Multiplex Organisation
An ‘RF Multiplex’ is a group of digital TV and radio stations that are ‘grouped’ together and transmitted ‘over the air’
to viewer’s TV aerials at one particular RF frequency. The UK has 6 RF Multiplexes with approximately 120 TV/radio
channels that are transmitted at dierent frequencies in each geographical area of the UK. Other countries use the
same DVB-T/T2 transmission scheme but have their own combination of channels and RF multiplexes. Much the same
applies for Cable TV and radio channels, except that these stations are ‘grouped together’ and transmitted over cable.
The LAN-Caster is able to scan all the signals coming
from the Aerial, and automatically detect the DVB-T/T2
RF multiplexes that it can ‘see’. When it detects a mul-
tiplex, it determines the TV and radio stations that are
available and shows them on the channel setup menu.
Some TV/radio services are encrypted to prevent
un-authorised viewing/listening. These are shown in
the Channel Setup menu with a ‘padlock’ symbol ( ).
This stream can be passed onto the network, but IPTV
decoders or PC software will have to decrypt the
stream before it can be viewed. The LAN-Caster can
be tted with a plug-in CAM module to de-crypt the
streams before launching them on the network.
A single LAN-Caster unit can select ONE RF multiplex,
then extract up to 15 TV or radio services that the user
chooses from that multiplex and stream them onto the
IP network. If a user wants to see more than 15 TV or ra-
dio services from a single multiplex, another LAN-Caster
unit will be required. If a user wants to simultaneously
access TV channels from two dierent RF multiplexes,
then they require two LAN-Caster modules.
At the time of writing, the UK RF multiplexes contain
the following channels (the channel numbers and
names are shown): For Cable TV, the multiplexes
available are dependent on the services provided by
the cable provider.

Installing a CAM module
The LAN-Caster can be enabled to work with a third party CI CAM module, so it can decrypt the stream before it is
transmitted on the network. A CI CAM module with the appropriate decryption system will be required (Irdeto, Viac-
cess etc.), together with a valid subscription card. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that they are entitled by
the broadcaster to decrypt the stream and distribute it unprotected across an IP network to multiple viewing devices.
Cabletime takes no responsibility whatsoever for any unauthorised or illegal use of this equipment.
To install the CAM module, do the following:
1. Ensure the LAN-Caster is enabled to use a CAM module. Check the unit’s part number (shown on the LCD and
on the browser Status page) contains a ‘-CAM’ extension. If it doesn’t, it can be upgraded ‘in-situ’ with a software
enablement code. Contact Cabletime with the LAN-Caster’s serial number for more details.
2. Disconnect the front and rear cables from the LAN-Caster module, and carefully remove it from the rack.
Note: If the RF input signal is daisy-chained between modules, downstream LAN-Casters will lose their RF feed
and will stop outputting TV streams.
3. Open the CAM module access lid by gently squeezing the retaining ‘bumps’ in the sides of the lid while lifting
the rear edge.
4. Take care not to touch any of the electronics inside the module – a static electric ‘zap’ could damage the
components and they may be hot!
5. Insert the subscriber viewing card (smart-card) into the CAM module, ensuring it is the right way up.
6. Take the CAM module and insert it (connector rst) into the plastic card guides near the top of the module.
As you press it home, you will notice the ejector button move outwards.
7. Close the access lid, ensuring that the metal tab on the rear edge of the lid is INSIDE the metal wall.
8. Ensure nothing is loose within the module and then carefully re-insert it back into the rack. Ensure the front
panel xing screws are secure then re-connect the cables.
9. Use the front panel buttons and LCD to check that the CAM module and subscriber card has been properly
recognised by the LAN-Caster module.
10. Use a web browser to access the LAN-Caster’s Status page, and check the CAM module is working OK.
Go to the Channel Setup page and select the appropriate RF multiplex.
11. Enable an appropriate encrypted channel with an IP stream address etc., and press Apply. The video, audio
and data within that stream will then be decrypted by the CAM module before it is launched onto the network.
Any un-encrypted channels enabled will stream out normally.
12. If you have enabled more encrypted channels than the CAM can simultaneously decrypt, the extra channels will
automatically be disabled. This will be shown on the Channel Setup page. If this happens, then you must use a
‘Professional’ CAM with a higher channel decryption capacity, and a suitably enabled subscriber viewing card.
13. If you select channels that use a dierent encryption standard to that supported by your CAM, or if your
subscription service does not include a selected channel, the channel will be streamed onto the network,
with the TV channel still encrypted.
