1. Product Introduction

1.1 Overview

1.1.1 TBS6301T H.265/H.264 4K 60Hz HDMI Encoding Card

TBS6301T is a HDMI 4K UHD Video Encoding Card, being capable of max 3840 x 2160P@60fps input and

H.265 & H.264 encoding. It is an ideal device for whom need to stream lower bit rate video over LAN or WAN

networks –often due to internal network limitations, whilst maintaining high quality video.

TBS6301T is equipped with a HDMI 2.0 input and a HDMI loop-out port. The PCIe interface allow users to

install TBS6301T into any low-profile or full-profile PCIe slot, including fixed workstations such as 2U or 4U

ack-mounted servers or media centers.

1.1.2 TBS6302X 4K 30Hz Dual HDMI input Encoding Card

TBS6302X is a 4K UHD Video HDMI Encoding Card with 2 HDMI inputs, being capable of max 3840 x

2160P@30fps input and H.265 & H.264 encoding. It is equipped with two HDMI 2.0 inputs. The PCIe interface

allows users to install TBS6302X into any low-profile or full-profile PCIe slot, including fixed workstations such

as 2U or 4U ack-mounted servers or media centers.

1.1.3 TBS6302X 4K 30Hz Dual HDMI input Encoding Card

TBS6304X is a 4K UHD Video HDMI Encoding Card with 4 HDMI inputs, being capable of max 3840 x

2160P@30fps input and H.265 & H.264 encoding. It is equipped with 4 HDMI 2.0 inputs. The PCIe interface

allows users to install TBS6304X into any full-profile PCIe slot, including fixed workstations such as 2U or 4U

ack-mounted servers or media centers.

A special encoding pattern:

After capturing UHD/HD video from HDMI port, TBS6301T/TBS6302X/TBS6304X will generate a

H.264/H.265-encoded stream by TS packet and output via PCIe connection. In short, any of TBS HDMI encoding

card can be used as a normal DVB Tuner PCIe card, so they can work with many DVB streaming software, like

"DVBlast", "TVheadend" in Linux or "DVBDream" in Windows.

Working Environment

Operating temperature: 0 to 40 deg C.

Storage temperature: –20 to 70 deg C.

Relative Humidity: 5% to 90% non-condensing.

Precautions:

1. TBS6301T/TBS6302X/TBS6304X supports 4K refers to 3840*2160, not 4096*2160.

2. They only supports P (Progressive) signal input, but not I (Interlace) signal, such as 1080i_50hz, 1080i_60hz,

etc.

3. When the HDMI input is 3840x2160p_60hz or 50hz input, it can only be encoded into H.265

3840x2160p60fps or 50fps.It is invalid even if manually setting the output in H.264.

4. In automatic mode, when the input is 4K50, 60, the video encoding is H.265; when the input is other signal,

the video encoding is H.264. When the input video source is in 720, the output is about 4M bit rate; in

1080P60, the output is about 10M; in 4K, the output is about 20~30M. The appropriate bit rate will be

automatically set according to the film source.

5. When the encoding output is in H.264/H.265 3840x2160p_60fps/50fps/30fps, please ensure that the

decoder has sufficient decoding capacity.

4. Reboot the server to load the driver.

# reboot

➢If the driver is loaded successfully, TBS6301T will be detected by the server as an adapter in the directory

of “/dev/dvb”:

# ls /dev/dvb

➢If several TBS6301T/TBS6302X/TBS6304X cards are installed in a same Server, there will be several

“adapter” show in the directory of “/dev/dvb”. For example:

“adapter0, apdater1, adapter 2, etc.”

For TBS6301T

For TBS6302X

For TBS6304X

4. Encoding configuration

4.1 Encoding tool

1.Users can compile the encoding tool with the source code. TBS provides the source code, including files as

bellowed:

“cmd_udp_internal.h，frontend.h，makefile，readme，udp_client.c”

➢When users compile the encoding tool:

# sudo gcc udp_client.c -l pthread -o “binary”

➢For example:

# # sudo gcc udp_client.c -l pthread -o “Encoder”

Then the “Encoder” tool will be created. Users can put it into the directory of “/usr/bin”.

4.2 Configure the encoding in the compiled tool provided by TBS

1. Run the encoding tool

# Encoder

Many encoding options will be showed. The following parameters will be used frequently:
