SAFETY NOTES Read the user’s manual before using the equipment, mainly "SAFETY RULES" paragraph. The symbol on the equipment means "SEE USER’S MANUAL". In this manual may also appear as a Caution or Warning symbol. WARNING AND CAUTION statements may appear in this manual to avoid injury hazard or damage to this product or other property.
After capturing UHD/HD video from HDMI port, TBS6301T will generate a H.264/H.265-encoded stream by TS packet and output via PCIe connection. In short, TBS6301T can be used as a normal DVB Tuner PCIe card, so it can work with many DVB streaming software, like "DVBlast", "TVheadend" in Linux or "DVBDream" in Windows.

Relative Humidity: 5% to 90% non-condensing. Precautions: 1. TBS6301T supporting 4K refers to 3840*2160, not 4096*2160. 2. It only supports P (Progressive) signal input, but not I (Interlace) signal, such as 1080i_50hz, 1080i_60hz, etc. 3. When the HDMI input is 3840x2160p_60hz or 50hz input, it can only be encoded into H.265 3840x2160p60fps or 50fps.It is invalid even if manually setting the output in H.264.
Make sure the server or PC is turned off. ➢ Install TBS6301T in any available PCIe slot. It is compatible to PCIe 1x, PCIe 4x, PCIe 8x, and PCIe 16x. Address: East Room, 3/F Bldg. B, Xinghong Industrial Park, Shuiku RD., Xixiang Town, Bao’an District, SZ, China, 518055...
TBS6301T only supports one HDMI input. The other port is for signal LOOP OUT. 3. Driver installation 1. Recommended Linux system for TBS6301T: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, or CentOS 7. 2.Check if TBS6301T encoding card is detected by the server or PC.
# sudo make install 4. Reboot the server to load the driver. # reboot ➢ If the driver is loaded successfully, TBS6301T will be detected by the server as an adapter in the directory of “/dev/dvb”: # ls /dev/dvb ➢...
➢ For example: # # sudo gcc udp_client.c -l pthread -o “Encoder” Then the “Encoder” tool will be created. Users can put it into the directory of “/usr/bin”. 4.2 Configure the encoding in the compiled tool provided by TBS 1. Run the encoding tool # Encoder Many encoding options will be showed.
5. Streaming the channel to network There are many kinds of streaming software under the Linux system, such as DVBlast, TVheadend, Astra Cesbo, MumuDVB, etc. TBS6301T encoding PCIe card is compatible with all these software, for streaming the encoded 4K channel to network.

3. Scan channels ➢ Use TBS6301T as a normal DVB-S/S2 tuner card in DVBlast. # dvblast –f 12538000 –s 41250000 –v 13 –a 0 -f: Frequency. Enter any frequencies value under DVB-S/S2 standard. -s: Symbol rate. Enter any symbol rate value under DVB-S/S2 standard.
⑵ RTP multicast 239.255.3.3:1236 1 1 URL for the RTP multicast stream: rtp://@239.255.3.3:1236 ⑶ UDP unicast Unicast: a packet is sent from a single source to a specified destination. If broadcasting a UDP stream to an appointed address: 192.168.8.100, the “dvb.conf” content should be: 192.168.8.100:3001/udp 1 1 URL for the UDP Unicast stream: udp://@192.168.8.100:3001...

⑸ Map the channels out in Services: ⑹ Number the channels in Channels/EPG: ⑺ Get URL for the channel stream: http://ip:port/live/stream/channelnumber/Number For example: http://192.168.8.67:9981/stream/channelnumber/10 5.3 Use Astra Cesbo to stream the channel 1. Aastra Cesbo installation. Astra has been compiled into binary, please select a suitable version to download: http://cesbo.com/download/astra/ Address: East Room, 3/F Bldg.
Page 17
For example: Astra Cesbo V_5.64, x86 64-bit system # wget http://cesbo.com/download/astra/5.64/x86_64/astra Grant permissions: # chmod +x astra Copy to ”/usr/bin”: # cp astra /usr/bin 2.Create a directory for Astra and create a configuration file "*.conf": # mkdir–p /ect/astra # vi /etc/astra/astra/astra.conf 3.
