IP to IP Gateway, Stream Protocol Converter

 

The BLANKOM BIG-1050X (1100X) is based on server platform architecture and converts usual IP streaming TS protocols to be efficient for LAN/WAN video stream transmissions.

The BIG-1050X can change UDP multicast or unicast URLs from SRT/RTP/HTTP/HTTP-HLS/RTSP/RTMP to UDP and back to SRT without any modifications to the video/audio content quality.

By looping/importing from an external URL to UDP -> UDP-> SRT it is possible to import Internet broadcasts first to UDP then to SRT.

A comfortable WEB-GUI allows an easy configuration. Roadmap: HLS-output-streaming format—via license key available after update

BLANKOM BIG-1050X – Professional Application Examples

  • Carrier-Grade Protocol Conversion & Cloud Ingest: Operating as a central broadcast gateway that bridges diverse IP streaming formats. It seamlessly converts local line-rate UDP/RTP Multicast headend streams into secure, low-latency SRT or internet-friendly HLS/RTMP protocols, allowing local cable and IPTV operators to ingest their linear channels directly into public cloud infrastructures or remote Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).

  • LAN Multicast to WAN Unicast Bridging: Deployed within large enterprise, hospitality, or campus networks to manage distribution over restricted network topologies. The gateway ingests incoming local UDP Multicast streams and transforms them into efficient Unicast streams (such as HTTP or HLS) to ensure smooth, secure video delivery to end-user devices, PCs, and smart TVs across routed subnets or remote branch offices where multicast routing is restricted.

  • Public Internet Remote Broadcast Backhaul (SRT Gateway): Functioning as a high-throughput secure turnaround node for remote video production. The unit can capture incoming RTSP or RTMP streams originating from field cameras, field encoders, or mobile OB vans and encapsulate them instantly into encrypted SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol paths, ensuring reliable, jitter-free transmission over unpredictable public internet links to the master control room.

  • IP Camera & Security Stream Turnaround for IPTV Integration: Serving as an enterprise-level bridge between security monitoring grids and television distribution systems. The gateway aggregates multiple security RTSP camera feeds across a facility and converts them into standard UDP Multicast or HLS transport streams, allowing surveillance video to be mapped directly into standard IPTV set-top boxes (STBs) and television channels without modifying the camera hardware.

  • High-Density Stream Multiplexing & IP Address Remapping: Integrated into professional telecom server racks to act as an isolated network firewall and stream routing layer. Network engineers leverage the gateway to execute precise IP address remapping, port redirection, and stream cloning across distinct physical LAN/WAN interfaces, allowing secure b2b media exchange between separate corporate networks while maintaining strict data isolation.

The BLANKOM BIG-1050X is a high-performance, professional IP-to-IP gateway and stream protocol converter designed for operator-grade IPTV and OTT headends. It acts as a line-rate protocol translator, receiving multiple IP input streams in one transmission standard and translating them into alternative streaming protocols simultaneously to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

The unit provides comprehensive protocol conversion across modern digital distribution standards. It natively supports SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), HTTP, RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, HLS (HTTP Live Streaming), UDP, and RTP protocols. It seamlessly converts contribution feeds (like remote SRT links) into local distribution formats (like UDP Multicast) or web-friendly OTT delivery formats.

No. The BIG-1050X operates strictly at the stream transport and protocol encapsulation layers as a linear, transparent gateway. It handles the underlying video and audio payloads without any re-encoding. This means it preserves original MPEG-2, H.264 (AVC), or H.265 (HEVC) data packets in SD, HD, or 4K Ultra HD resolutions untouched, eliminating latency and codec degradation.

The advanced processing core is optimized to handle a high volume of concurrent data flows. Depending on the exact firmware provisioning and transport bit-rates, the BIG-1050X can process and translate dozens of independent IP transport streams simultaneously at wire-speed line-rate, making it fully capable of serving as a primary backbone router for extensive channel lineups.

For remote site contribution or public cloud egress, the BIG-1050X fully leverages native SRT protocol wrapping. This infrastructure implements smart ARQ (Auto Repeat Request) packet recovery mechanisms to counteract network jitter and packet loss, and supports industry-standard AES-128 or AES-256 bit encryption to ensure end-to-end payload security over unsecure links.

Yes, this is one of the primary deployment profiles for the BIG-1050X. It can ingest raw UDP Multicast or RTP transport streams directly from satellite gateways and dynamically segment them into standard HLS chunks with corresponding M3U8 playlists, facilitating direct integration with local web servers or Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).

The BIG-1050X handles stream pass-through linearly. It focuses on transparent encapsulation and de-encapsulation across different transport protocol wrappers rather than full transport stream demultiplexing or PID table alterations. This architectural design minimizes processing latency and maintains complete syntax integrity of the original broadcast multiplexes.

System provisioning, network route configurations, protocol parameters, and live stream connection logs are managed exclusively via an embedded WebGUI using a standard internet browser through a dedicated Ethernet management interface. This model line does not support SNMP management, keeping the architecture secure, lightweight, and isolated from external automated polling vulnerabilities.

The device is engineered with multiple independent high-capacity Gigabit Ethernet (1000M) data interfaces. This layout enables physical traffic separation, allowing operators to dedicate specific physical ports to incoming WAN feeds (such as public SRT links) and completely separate physical ports to internal LAN distribution (such as UDP Multicast blocks), preventing local network bottlenecks.

The BIG-1050X is designed for demanding 24/7/365 telecommunication uptimes, enclosed in a rugged, standard 19-inch 1U rack-mount industrial metal chassis. To guarantee service continuity in primary carrier facilities or corporate data centers, the unit can be configured through our technical Ordering Guides with dual redundant power supply units.
