Set-top box interconnect

If you are using a Set-Top box (STB) as an input source, assign one STB per encoder input and connect the output of each STB to the associated capture card input connector. Composite, component, and HDMI video interfaces are currently supported, depending on the specific capture card.

Normally each STB is statically set to a particular channel (dial number) for 24/7 ingest. Optionally; the encoder may be configured for virtual STB remote controller allowing MIS to select channels either automatically via the scheduler or manually under user control. A USB IR blaster enables MIS to control the STB.

TECH TIP

MIS is recording and logging content: as such it is only able to support HDMI without HDCP security.
