The MediaStar range of DVB-S LAN-Caster Gateways are a powerful and ultra reliable, solid state "out of the box" solution for satellite TV reception and when used in conjunction with the MediaStar DVB-T LAN-Casters and MPEG Encoders, will meet your entire IP Television Headend, Digital Signage and Digital Media encoding and distribution requirements.

The MediaStar Evolution LAN-Caster streams live Digital Satellite TV and Radio channels such as news, sport and entertainment directly onto your IP network. The unit is a 'hot swappable' blade that easily fits into a MediaStar Powered Chassis (Part 770) which has a capacity for up to nine units. When connected to a DVB-S/S2 dish antenna signal the LANCaster can stream up to 15 channels of TV and Radio from an RF multiplex to any networked PC using the MediaStar Media Portal (Part 470) or video screens equipped with MediaStar Digital Media Decoder (Part 780). Where the incoming transmissions are encrypted, a PCMCIA slot located securely within the rear of the unit allows for the insertion of a CI CAM module with its subscription card.
