Terra SDI 480 and VDR usage

Hi all,

I got in my hands several DVB devices which have been decommissioned from a local TV-IP operator.

The devices are Terra SDI 480.

Here is the link with the specifications:

TERRA SDI 480

Do you think such hardware can be put in use for VDR?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Best regards.

I haven't tested yet. Will try to implement it in my system and will report back.

Thank you.

Best. Alexander.

Found some time for tests.

All I can say it is very complicated device.

It is working great although the initial setup is not easy. A lot of network work involved. Every channel has its own IP and port.
Individual packages can be configured with different channels.

Have not tested it via VDR but under VLC as UDP and RDP streams and it works.

The hardware is not the best option for home usage as it can stream up to 8 transponders. This explains why the TV operator i borrowed it from had something like 40 of them connected in 3 racks.

There is almost no information in the www about them so if of interest I am uploading here the User manual

Best regards
