Getting Started With MediaStar Evolution
776 DVB-T LAN-Caster
The MediaStar Evolution 776 LAN-Caster allows DVB-T
TV and Radio channels to be streamed onto an IP
network. Connect a DVB-T aerial signal into the LAN-
Caster and use the simple browser based control
interface to stream up to 11 channels from a single RF
multiplex on to 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 plasma display. The
MediaStar 'Viewer' software application can decode
the streams and provide live TV pictures and sound on
a PC.
