The bitcontrol® Digital TV Link is required!

The bitcontrol® Multicast Server is a software to stream the MPEG-2 video data of different set top boxes as multicast over the local network. By this procedure the aquirement of additional receivers and the laying of the required infrastructure (antenna cable) is avoided. The already available network structure is used instead. By the multicast structure only the video streams requested by the clients are transferred over every network section. The duplication of the data packets and the decision where to send which packets is managed by the already available switches in the network structure.
