Built for IP-based television workflows
TECH tuners place broadcast television streams onto the local network for use by compatible professional systems and custom applications. The tuner provides the streams; the software, monitoring or distribution system that uses them is your own.
- RF television signal
- TECH tuner
- IP network
- Professional software, monitoring or distribution system
- Multicast or unicast streaming over UDP or RTP
- One transport stream per tuner, with hardware PID filtering
- Configurable TTL and static channel, target and IP configuration
- Streams can be received by VLC on Windows, Mac and Linux, or by multicast UDP/RTP-compatible set-top boxes
Tools for broadcast and RF troubleshooting
For broadcast engineers, RF installers, system integrators and developers who need to see what a tuner is receiving.
- Signal level display in dBm/dBmV
- Signal quality (MER) display in dB
- Stream analysis with TSReader, including bitrates, programs and tables
- Tuner status and signal information from the command line, scriptable for always-on head-end monitoring
Designed for integration
TECH tuners work with Silicondust tools and with your own network applications. They can be scripted from Windows, macOS, Linux, *BSD and Solaris, and controlled directly from code using the libhdhomerun C library.
For centrally managed television systems serving many residents, classrooms or shared viewing locations, see HDGrandSlam for multifamily properties and government and education.
