Part No. 200-2352 - v1

Quick Start Guide - 784 DVB-S/S2 LAN-Caster

The MediaStar Evolution 784 LAN-Caster allows

DVB-S/S2 TV and Radio channels to be streamed

onto an IP network. Connect a DVB-S/S2 Satellite

dish LNB to the LAN-Caster and use the simple

browser based control interface to stream up

to 15 channels from a single RF multiplex onto

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 OLED display. The MediaStar ‘Viewer’

software application can decode the streams

and provide live TV pictures and sound on a PC.
