IPTS in settings Portsdown 4

[PE5PVB]

Hi,

Where can I find the settings, or select button to use IPTS input on Portsdown 4?

Hi Sjef

It's in the Encoder Menu, as it selects an external encoder and I couldn't think of anywhere else remotely logical to put it.

Note that it will not work with Pluto though, only Lime and DATV Express.

Yes, I have a LimeSDR.
Where can I find the encoder menu?

[G8GKQ]

The Encoder menu is selected from the touchscreen, Menu 1, top row of small buttons, second button along.

Hello Dave,

To use the IPTS input, could you please confirm that I have to send a TS to the IP address of the PI 4 without a port number ?

Does the IPTS Monitor works on the Portsdown 4 ?

I have also read that it works only with the DATV Express board and Lime, fine with me.

Hello Michel

You have to send the IPTS to the IP address of the Portsdown on port 10000. The IPTS monitor works very well on the Portsdown 4 and also monitors port 10000 (only).

Hello all:
I confirm that run on Lime, but no in Pluto.

Well, I'm still trying. Made a mistake in the topic title, I have a Portsdown 2020 (RSP3).

Want to get my Tandberg EN8090 to work as an input for the Portsdown 2020.
When I use the IP address from the Raspberry as destination on the stream output it doesn't work. When I use 224.0.0.251:10000, I do get the picture of my streamer on the IPTS monitor, but not on the transmitter.

Stream is an UDP multicast stream.

Any ideas?

[G8GKQ]

The Portsdown transmitter needs a unicast (not multicast) UDP stream. The IPTS monitor uses a different method of receiving the stream - so this may work while the TX des not.

So you need to send the stream as a unicast on port 10000 to the Portsdown's IP address. It will then get picked up by these lines in the main transmitter file (rpidatv/scripts/a.sh line 1184):

Code: Select all

PORT=10000
netcat -u -4 -l $PORT > videots &

videots is then played out into the DVB-S/S2 encoder.

OK, finally got it to work.
