Network Streaming out with PC To make a network stream with your PC, you need a software that converts a media file to TS format and sends it out through internet-network. There are many softwares, but we recommend the software "VLC". You can download the software VLC from the official website, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Please refer to the website for the installation. Streaming out Media File > Click "File > Open File". Click "Browse.." button and select the file you want. Click the checkbox "Stream/Save" and click "Settings..." button. Select "UDP" checkbox and put the IP address and Port number. The IP address and Port number are of which you want to send to. If you want to send it to your settopbox, put your settopbox's IP address and Port number. Select Video codec "mp2v", and "mpga" for Audio codec. Bitrate values are qualities of Video and Audio. The quality and speed are in inverse proportion to each other. You may find a text line like this ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=224.1.1.2:1234}}" on the top of Stream output option window. At the front of "vcodec=mp2v", put "fps=25,". Then result may be going to be like this":sout=#transcode{fps=25,vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=224.1.1.2:1234}}" And then, click OK button. All your works to stream media file out have been done. The streaming out will start as clicking OK button of the last window. Streaming out DVD > Click "File > Open Disc..". Select Title, Chapter, Audio track as you want. (we don't support subtitles track) Click the checkbox "Stream/Save" and click "Settings..." button. Select "UDP" checkbox and put the IP address and Port number. The IP address and Port number are of which you want to send to. If you want to send it to your settopbox, put your settopbox's IP address and Port number. Select Video codec "mp2v", and "mpga" for Audio codec. Bitrate values are qualities of Video and Audio. The quality and speed are in inverse proportion to each other. You may find a text line like this ":sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=224.1.1.2:1234}}" on the top of Stream output option window. At the front of "vcodec=mp2v", put "fps=25,". Then result may be going to be like this":sout=#transcode{fps=25,vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=224.1.1.2:1234}}" And then, click OK button. All your works to stream media file out have been done. The streaming out will start as clicking OK button of the last window. # Network Streaming out with SetTopBox Before sending streams out, please make sure that your Settopbox is connected to any of Networks. And a HDD is required for streaming out function. No HDD will not work. At the main menu, "User's option", there may be the entry "IP Channel". You can receive streams and also send streams out with this IP Channel function. There are basically 2 functions. "RECV" and "SEND". Move right to the "SEND" button. There are some options need to be set. "Dest. IP Address" - The IP address that you want to send the stream to. "Port" - The number of the port of the IP address that you want to send the stream to. "Protocol" - The way how the stream is transported. At this time, only the "UDP" is available. "Channel" - The channel you will send out. If you have only 1 tuner, you can only send out the channel what you are watching. If you have 2 tuners, you can send out the channel what you are watching, or, you can send out the channel, from the other tuner, not you are watching. "Channel list" - You can send the list of your channels to receivers. Receivers can see the list of channels, and even are able to change the channel to what they want. So, you can determine the list of channels, with the Left, Right key. "None" will not send the channel-list. "All" will send the whole of yours. "Select" will send the list of the only channels you select. At "Select" button, you can select channels by pressing key OK. "START" - Start to streaming out. It may delay the system to get ready, but it will be fine after some seconds. Now you can send out AV streams through the Network, Internet. To stop streaming, click "STOP" button. # Receiving Network Stream with SetTopBox Before receiving network streams, please make sure that your Settopbox is connected to any of Networks. At the main menu, "User's option", there may be the entry "IP Channel". You can receive streams and also send streams out with this IP Channel function. There are basically 2 functions. "RECV" and "SEND". To receive network streams, you have to create a channel. That we call, "IP Channel". IP Channel receives streams from ethernet, not from tuner. So to create a IP Channel, we have to set several options. Press Yellow key to add a new IP Channel to your settopbox. "Cast Mode" - There are two types, "Uni-Cast" and "Multi-Cast". If you want to receive from Multicast IP address, select "Multi-Cast". Multicast IP address is in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Unless, select "Uni-Cast". "Network Protocol" - The way how the stream is transported. "IP Version" - The version of internet protocol. Usually, it is "IPv4". "IP Address" - The IP address of your settopbox. If the cast mode is Multi-cast, put the Multicast IP address. "Port Number" - The number of the port of the IP address. "Channel Name" - The channel name of this - new IP channel. "Video PID" - The PID of Video in the network stream. If you don't know about this very well, set it to 0. "Audio PID" - The PID of Audio in the network stream. If you don't know about this very well, set it to 0. Pressing OK button, now you have just create a new IP Channel. Selecting the channel from Channel list, you can watch network stream. Buffering may take some seconds, but it will play soon. # Using Multicast Multicast delivers source to multiple receivers. One server can send out the network stream to numbers of clients. To use multicast, server should send the network stream out to the multicast IP address. And client should receive from the multicast IP address. Multicast IP address is in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. If server sends out to the IP address 224.1.1.2 and port the 1234, client receive from the IP address 224.1.1.2 and the port 1234. And before using multicast, please check multicast protocol is available in your network. Usually, local network system supports multicast protocol. # Remote control via Net If a settopbox is streaming out and sending channel-list, clients can receive AV stream and also the list of channels that server offers. And clients can change the channel that server is streaming. At the menu, "User's option > IP Channel", there may be serveral IP Channels that you created. Focusing channel entry, which you want, press Blue key. Then a small channel list would be shown if server is offering channel-list. (If server is sending out to multicast IP address and client is receiving that, client has to put the server's real IP address to receive channel list.) And if you select a channel in the channel-list from the server, server changes the channel that streaming, hence you can watch the channel you want. # Receiving Network Stream with PC Unfortunately, receiving network stream, from DGStation settopbox, with PC doesn't work good. We are trying to make it as soon as possible. (At this time, it works when PCR PID is same with VID PID. And the player has to buffer as enough cache. And it is confirmed that the player "VLC" doesn't play sound but video only, the player "M Player" plays video and audio.)
