The MediaStar range of DVB LAN-Caster
Gateways are a powerful and ultra reliable,
solid state 'out of the box' solution for Digital
Terrestrial and CATV reception. When used
with Mediastar DVB-S satellite LAN-Casters and
MPEG encoders, this solution will meet your
entire IP Television Headend and Digital Media

DVB-T/C TV and Radio channels to be streamed onto

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.
