¹ A-model values refer to the documented 2026 IGS-900A/IGS-924A revision: 128 SPTS total (64 per DATA port), Dynamic PMT and EIT/EPG demultiplexing; no MPTS IP output. A-model capacities and software features must not be assumed for C/S variants. A-model links open their shared family product pages.
² Standard-model output limits vary across published revisions. Confirm the IGS-900 SPTS/MPTS limits and the IGS-924 MPTS limit for the hardware and firmware being ordered. “Not specified” does not mean “not supported”.
SPTS = Single Program Transport Stream; MPTS = Multi Program Transport Stream. Tuner count is not TV channel count. Stream counts remain subject to available services and bitrate limits. IGS-700/84 capacities are the sum of two independent modules, not a shared pool.
CAM-based reception requires compatible professional CAMs and valid service authorisation; CI+ is not supported by IGS-700/84. EIT remultiplexing and EIT demultiplexing into individual SPTS are different functions. Optional redundant PSU does not imply hot-swap or a DC input option.

Engineering questions
16 questions answered by the people who commission these unitsFAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Does the IGS-8008 already support Dynamic PMT and EPG/EIT demultiplexing?
Yes. Dynamic PMT and EIT demultiplexing are documented IGS-8008 functions. The gateway can carry relevant broadcast programme-guide data with selected SPTS services for compatible IPTV receivers. An A-model designation is not required for these IGS-8008 features.
What does Dynamic PMT support do?
Tracks changes in the incoming Programme Map Table, supporting selected services whose component or PID assignments change. It follows the broadcast programme-map information for the selected service; it does not create missing source components or guarantee uninterrupted changes in every reception condition.
Can EPG information be carried with individual SPTS channels?
Yes. EIT demultiplexing and streaming with SPTS carry the relevant programme-guide information alongside selected services. The source must provide suitable EIT and the receiving TV, set-top box or middleware must support the delivered guide data.
Does the IGS-8008 generate a new EPG or display an EPG on every receiver?
The documented function is to carry existing broadcast EIT information, not to create an independent programme schedule. The resulting guide display depends on source data, receiver/middleware support and the selected delivery configuration. Verify compatibility with the actual receiving system.
What are the IGS-8008 stream limit and active streaming interface?
Up to 64 SPTS are output through the IPTV2 Gigabit Ethernet OUT port. The documented processing range is 100-400 Mbps, depending on protocol and configuration. Use IPTV2 OUT for streaming and the separate NMS port for management. Stream count and aggregate bitrate must both suit the planned configuration.
How does IGS-8008 compare with IGS-900A and IGS-924A?
IGS-8008: 8 RF tuners and up to 64 SPTS, with Dynamic PMT, EIT handling and multiprotocol outputs. IGS-900A: 16 tuners and up to 128 SPTS. IGS-924A: 24 tuners and up to 128 SPTS. Both A models allocate 64 SPTS to each DATA port, support Dynamic PMT/EPG and have no MPTS IP output. Select by source count, protocol, bitrate and receiver requirements.
Which reception standards are available, and are the tuners universal?
IGS-8008 is the 8-tuner DVB-S/S2/S2X satellite configuration. IGS-8008C is the DVB-C/T/T2/ISDB-Tb cable/terrestrial configuration; an ATSC multi-tuner option can be requested. The installed tuner hardware must match the required standard. Do not assume an ordinary software change converts any delivered unit between all reception standards.
Can the device descramble encrypted services, and does it have CI slots?
The IGS-8008 supports FTA reception and embedded BISS Mode 1 / Mode E descrambling for supported, authorised feeds. It has no CI/CAM slots. For reception requiring a physical CAM, select an appropriate CI-equipped model such as IGS-700/84 and verify the CAM and service authorisation.
What PID and PSI/SI processing is documented?
The data sheet lists up to 256 PID remappings, automatic or manual, and automatic PSI/SI table generation. Use the Web GUI to configure the supported service-processing functions; do not assume unrestricted editing of every broadcast metadata table.
Which streaming protocols and SRT modes are supported?
The documented protocols are UDP, RTP, RTSP, RTMP, HTTP, HLS and SRT. SRT modes are Caller, Listener and Rendezvous. The selected protocol, total bitrate and receiver/server compatibility determine usable capacity; the maximum stream count is not a guarantee for every simultaneous protocol combination.
What RF input frequencies are specified?
The satellite model specifies 950-2150 MHz. The IGS-8008C cable/terrestrial configuration specifies 60-890 MHz, with 5/6/7/8 MHz DVB-T/T2 channel bandwidths. Confirm the exact tuner configuration against the ordered hardware.
Does IGS-8008 support DVB-T2 transport streams carried by satellite multistream feeds?
Yes. The documented IGS-8008 functions include demultiplexing and streaming DVB-T2 transport-stream combinations carried in satellite multistream feeds. Confirm the actual source format and firmware. This capability must not be transferred to IGS-900A/924A, whose documented A-model design excludes it.
Can IPTV1 IN or the other Ethernet connectors provide redundant streaming outputs?
Use IPTV2 OUT for streaming and the dedicated NMS port for management. IPTV1 IN and USB are reserved, while CAS/NMS is for engineering use in the documented configuration. These connectors do not establish a second active streaming output, automatic failover or a redundant network path.
How is remote management provided, and is SNMP included?
The IGS-8008 supports Web NMS with HTTPS access, web-based firmware updates and remote reboot through its management interface. SNMP is not specified in the data sheet used for this page; obtain confirmation before including SNMP alarms or integration in a system specification.
Does the gateway transcode video or guarantee compatibility with every Smart TV?
No video transcoding is specified. Match the source video/audio codecs, transport format and EPG handling to the receiving system. Support for a streaming protocol does not by itself guarantee compatibility with every television, web player or cloud platform.
What should be specified when ordering an IGS-8008?
State the reception standard, transponder/multiplex and programme counts, output protocols, aggregate bitrate, EPG needs and receiver types. The chassis is 19-inch, 1U. Confirm the supplied PSU rating and any additional hardware requirement rather than assuming redundancy or optional features. The Data Sheet and Quickstart Manual are available below.
