1. Product Overview
1.1 Product Description
SBS5810 multiple inputs H.264/H.265 IPTV transcoder is specially designed for our SBS TV tuner card
customers. It’s a high-performance video server that features in high integration and reliable hardware
transcoding server. The original data rate of DVB-S/S2 channels is very high, which will take up a lot of
bandwidth if it is sent directly to the internet. So, you will need both receiving server and transcoding server to
compress the bit rate. But it is definite not a convenient solution, as it will greatly increase the cost of the
system.
Now, with SBS5810 real-time transcoding server, you can receive and transcode channels at the same
time. This is a cost-effective solution for OTT IPTV providers. With Two Giga Ethernet Ports, SBS5810 is capable to
transcode either 80 SD or 30 Full HD streams. Equipped with 2 pieces of SBS Tuner/Capture PCI-e card (up to 16
tuners), SBS5810 is also capable to receive channels directly from DVB RF or ASI / IP inputs.
SBS5810 can be easily managed through NMS system and has become an ideal solution for operators
to provide high quality video transcoding. SBS5810 is a real multi-channel/formal transcoding server that meets
all market requirements and is thus the suitable solution for Terrestrial, Satellite, Cable, IPTV networks.
