Overview
Product description
The BLANKOM BTR-6000V is an H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC multiscreen IP transcoder with an integrated re-multiplexer, designed for IPTV headends. It transcodes up to 1× 4K, 8× 1080p, 16× 720p or 32× SD channels to HEVC, or up to 16× 1080p, 16× 720p or 32× SD channels to H.264, at video bitrates from 200 kbps to 20 Mbps — low enough (below 600 kbps at D1) for smartphones, tablets and PCs while maintaining picture quality.
Input streams are received over two Gigabit RJ45 ports (UDP, RTP, RTSP, HTTP, HLS, RTMP, FTP; unicast and multicast) or as local media files via USB 3.0. Outputs are delivered as SPTS/MPTS over UDP, RTMP, HLS, FTP or RTP, with PSI/SI editing, PID remapping, PCR correction, logo and rolling-subtitle insertion and 1+N output backup.
IP to IP Live Video Transcoder & Multiplexer
The BLANKOM BTR-6000V is an H.265/HEVC multiscreen transcoder designed for IPTV systems. Based on a high-performance processing chip, it transcodes SD and HD channels efficiently with HEVC/H.265 low-bitrate compression: programmes can be converted to a low bitrate (<600 kbps at D1) while maintaining picture quality.
Stream transcoding: IP unicast and multicast SPTS/MPTS input streams in H.265/HEVC, H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4, as well as local media files via USB 3.0, are re-encoded to H.265/HEVC or H.264/AVC.
H.265/HEVC capacity: max. 1× 4K, 8× 1080p, 16× 720p or 32× SD channels. H.264/AVC capacity: max. 16× 1080p, 16× 720p or 32× SD channels.
The BTR-6000V also supports IP re-multiplexing of MPTS and SPTS streams, and its multiple output resolutions serve multiscreen delivery to TVs, smartphones, tablets and PCs.
A full-HEVC 4K version, BTR-6000X and a broadcaster-grade h.265 4K with 4:2:2 as BTR-6000VX are also available upon request.
A comfortable Web GUI allows easy configuration and monitoring.
Function
The BTR-6000V processes SD/HD efficiently based on a high-performance processing chip and is designed specifically for IPTV systems with HEVC/H.265 low-bitrate compression.
The channels can be converted to a low bitrate (<600 kbps, D1) while maintaining picture quality.
It also supports IP re-multiplexing of MPTS and SPTS streams.
The multiple video resolution functions can be used for multiscreen delivery (TVs, smartphones, tablets, PCs, etc.). The network management interface (Web GUI) makes setting up and monitoring the working status easy.

Engineering questions
9 questions answered by the people who commission these unitsFAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is the primary operational purpose of the BLANKOM BTR-6000V, and how does it differ from a protocol converter?
The BLANKOM BTR-6000V is an H.265/HEVC multiscreen IP transcoder with an integrated re-multiplexer for IPTV systems. Unlike a protocol converter, which only changes the transport protocol of a stream, the BTR-6000V decodes the video and audio and re-encodes them to H.265/HEVC or H.264/AVC at a new resolution and bitrate — for example to reduce bandwidth (below 600 kbps at D1) or to serve TVs, smartphones, tablets and PCs.
Which video compression codecs and resolution transformations are supported by the BTR-6000V transcoding engine?
The transcoding engine accepts H.265/HEVC, H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 input and encodes to H.265/HEVC (Baseline, Main Profile @L6.2 or less) or H.264/AVC (Baseline, Main and High Profile @L5.1 or less). Maximum HEVC capacity is 1× 4K, 8× 1080p, 16× 720p or 32× SD channels; maximum H.264 capacity is 16× 1080p, 16× 720p or 32× SD channels. Output resolutions range from 96×96 to 4096×2160, and the video bitrate can be set from 200 kbps to 20 Mbps (VBR or CBR) — for example below 600 kbps at D1 resolution for mobile and multiscreen delivery.
Does the device incorporate an integrated multiplexer core, and can it manage PIDs and program mapping?
Yes. The BTR-6000V includes an IP re-multiplexer for SPTS and MPTS streams: service editing, PSI/SI editing, PID pass-through and remapping, PCR auto-correction and null-packet pass-through, insertion and filtering. Each output TS can carry up to 100 Mbps; with the transcoder function disabled, up to 200 input and 200 output TS streams can be handled.
What audio formats are supported for transcoding?
Audio inputs in MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and AAC formats are accepted. Audio is encoded to MPEG-1 Layer II, MPEG-2 AAC or MPEG-4 AAC at sampling rates of 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz and bitrates from 32 to 384 kbps. Multi-audio transcoding and audio pass-through are supported.
Which IP streaming transport protocols are supported on the input and output network stages?
Input streams are received over UDP, RTP, RTSP, HTTP, HLS, RTMP and FTP, unicast or multicast (IGMP v1/v2/v3). Local media files can also be used as a source via the USB 3.0 interface. Outputs are delivered over UDP, RTMP, HLS, FTP and RTP (RTP for multiplexed output only), unicast or multicast, as IP streams or as files.
Can the BTR-6000V edit PSI/SI transport stream information?
Yes. PSI/SI editing and service editing are part of the re-multiplexer, so service information can be adapted to the channel lineup of the headend. PIDs can be passed through or remapped, and PCR values are corrected automatically.
How is remote configuration and telemetry monitoring executed for this transcoder? Is SNMP supported?
Configuration and monitoring are done through an embedded HTTP Web GUI in a standard web browser, via a dedicated RJ45 control port (1000M/100M). The specification lists the Web GUI as the management protocol; SNMP is not part of the specification.
What is the hardware layout of the data network interfaces to prevent bandwidth bottlenecks?
Stream traffic runs over two Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports (full duplex, up to 800 Mbps each), separate from the RJ45 control port. This allows input and output traffic, or different networks, to be kept on separate physical interfaces.
What are the chassis and power specifications of the BTR-6000V?
The BTR-6000V is a 19-inch 1RU rack-mount unit (430 × 335 × 44 mm, gross weight 8.7 kg) with dual power supplies. It is powered from AC 110–240 V, 47–63 Hz, with a maximum power consumption of 350 W. Operating temperature is 5–45 °C, storage temperature −10 to 65 °C.
