IPTV input

January 23, 2014.

IPTV stands for TV over IP networks. It actually means TV over any type of IP packet based distribution network. They can be referred as LAN (Local Area Network), ethernet, computer networks, etc...

With the growth of LAN based TV distribution systems, having an IPTV input in your field strength meter becomes a handy feature.

The RANGERNeo 2 field strength meters allow you to receive television programmes coming from IPTV networks. Those programmes can be displayed on the screen as long as they are distributed under multicast type of delivery. The multicast address and port along with the transport protocol used in the delivery (RTP or UDP) must be selected in order to receive the IPTV programme.

Other additional tools can be used simultaneously with the IPTV receiver, as the TS-ASI analyser which will show us all the PSI/SI table information related to the IP de-encapsulated TS-ASI.
