1. Product Overview
1.1 Product Presentation
TBS8510 multiple inputs H.264/H.265 IPTV transcoder is specially designed for our TBS 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 from DVB-S/S2 channels is very high. It will cost a lot of bandwidth if
we send it to internet directly. So, you will need both receiving server and transcode server to lowdown the bit
rate. But absolutely, this is not a convenient solution, and it will greatly increase the system cost.
Now with TBS8510 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, it can be configured to
transcode up to 80 SD or 30 Full HD streams, and equipped with 2 pieces of TBS Tuner/Capture PCI-e card (up
to 16 tuners) to receive channels directly from satellite or ASI / IP inputs.
It can be easily managed through NMS system, and has become an ideal solution for operators to provide
high quality video transcoding. TBS8510 is a real multi-channel/formal transcoding server which answers all
market requirements and is thus the suitable solution to Terrestrial, Satellite, Cable, IPTV networks
