Overview
Product description
The BLANKOM BTR-6000V Pro V2 converts 30 simultaneous 1080p50 HEVC channels to H.264. It combines AC-3 passthrough, UDP multicast SPTS input/output and hot-swappable dual redundant PSU.
Function
Video transcoding with retained AC-3 audio
The BTR-6000V Pro V2 adapts live HEVC television services for H.264 receiving equipment. Its x86 CPU + GPU platform combines multi-channel video processing with browser-based configuration and input-stream monitoring.
The supplied configuration supports 30 simultaneous channels at 1920 × 1080 progressive and 50 frames per second, converting HEVC video to H.264. AC-3 audio is passed through without re-encoding, and each programme is received and delivered as a UDP multicast MPEG-TS single-programme transport stream (SPTS).
This capacity applies to the specified HEVC-to-H.264 workload. Other codec, resolution, frame-rate and bitrate combinations require separate sizing.
Features & capabilities
Features
30-channel Full HD conversion
Convert 30 simultaneous 1080p50 HEVC services to H.264 in the supplied V2 configuration.
AC-3 passthrough
Retain incoming AC-3 audio without audio re-encoding. Downstream receivers must support the retained audio format.
UDP multicast SPTS
Receive and output individual programmes as MPEG-TS SPTS streams over a managed multicast network.
Hot-swappable dual PSU
The supplied hardware includes dual redundant AC power supplies with hot-swap capability.
Input-stream monitoring
Monitor input streams using three-level error detection based on TR 101 290, PSI/SI checking and input-format analysis.
Web configuration and overlays
Configure and monitor the system through its HTTP Web GUI. Platform functions include logo and graphic insertion, scrolling text and multi-audio processing.
Application examples
Applications
IPTV headends
Convert incoming HEVC channels for distribution to compatible H.264 receivers, retaining AC-3 audio where required.
Hospitality and institutional television
Prepare live channel line-ups for hotels, hospitals, campuses and other managed television networks.
Typical signal path
HEVC video with AC-3 audio over UDP multicast SPTS enters the BTR-6000V Pro V2. The system converts the video to H.264, passes the AC-3 audio through and outputs UDP multicast SPTS to the distribution network.
Confirm H.264 profile and AC-3 compatibility at the receivers. Size the network for the aggregate bitrate and configure multicast forwarding for the installation.

Engineering questions
8 questions answered by the people who commission these unitsFAQ
What does 30 × 1080p50 capacity mean?
It means 30 simultaneous channels, each at 1920 × 1080 progressive and 50 frames per second, converting HEVC video to H.264 in the supplied V2 configuration.
Is AC-3 audio converted to another codec?
In AC-3 passthrough mode, the incoming audio stream is retained without re-encoding. The receiving equipment must support AC-3.
What IP transport is confirmed for input and output?
UDP multicast MPEG-TS SPTS is confirmed for both input and output. SPTS carries one programme per transport stream.
Does the 30-channel rating apply to every codec and resolution?
No. It applies to the specified 1080p50 HEVC-to-H.264 workload. Other operating points require separate sizing.
How is the system managed and monitored?
The HTTP Web GUI provides configuration and monitoring. The platform supports TR 101 290 input-stream error detection, PSI/SI checking and input-format analysis. Management shares a data port.
What power-supply configuration is included?
The supplied V2 hardware includes hot-swappable dual redundant AC PSU in a 2U rack chassis.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide channel count, input/output codecs, resolution, frame rate, input/output bitrates, audio services, network requirements and receiver details. Stream samples help confirm the intended configuration.
How does Pro V2 relate to the standard BTR-6000V?
Pro V2 is a separate supplied configuration. Its confirmed 30-channel 1080p50 HEVC-to-H.264 capacity must be distinguished from the standard model’s workload figures.
