1. Product Introduction

1.1 Overview

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.

A special encoding pattern:

After capturing UHD/HD video from HDMI port, TBS6301T will generate a H.264/H.265-encoded stream by

TS packet and output via PCIe connection. In short, TBS6301T can be used as a normal DVB Tuner PCIe card, so

it can work with many DVB streaming software, like "DVBlast", "TVheadend" in Linux or "DVBDream" in

Windows.

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-mountedservers or media centers.

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 supporting 4K refers to 3840*2160, not 4096*2160.

2. It 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.

2. Hardware Installation and Connection

2.1 TBS6301T installed in PCIe slot

➢Make sure the server or PC is turned off.

➢Install TBS6301T in any available PCIe slot. It is compatible to PCIe 1x, PCIe 4x, PCIe 8x, and PCIe 16x.

Address: East Room, 3/F Bldg. B, Xinghong Industrial Park, Shuiku RD., Xixiang Town, Bao’an District, SZ, China, 518055

7/ 22

2.1 Signal Connection

➢TBS6301T only supports one HDMI input. The other port is for signal LOOP OUT.

3. Driver installation

1. Recommended Linux system for TBS6301T: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, or

CentOS 7.

2.Check if TBS6301T encoding card is detected by the server or PC.

# lspci –vvv| grep 6301

3. Please download the driver from TBS official open source website:

https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki

➢media_build, media

# git clone https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build.git

# git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media.git -b latest ./media

Address: East Room, 3/F Bldg. B, Xinghong Industrial Park, Shuiku RD., Xixiang Town, Bao’an District, SZ, China, 518055

8/ 22

➢Compile and install:

# cd media_build

# make dir DIR=../media

# makeallyesconfig

# make -j4

# sudo make install

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 severalTBS6301T cardsare installed in a same Server, there will be several “adapter” show in the

directory of “/dev/dvb”. For example:

“adapter0, apdater1, adapter 2, etc.”

NOTE:

If any error occurs during the compilation process, please fix the errors and continue the compilation. We have

a list for common errors and solutions, please refer to:

https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki/Prerequisites,-Build-errors-and-Rebuilding

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”

Address: East Room, 3/F Bldg. B, Xinghong Industrial Park, Shuiku RD., Xixiang Town, Bao’an District, SZ, China, 518055

9/ 22

➢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:

2. Encoding Mode: Automatic Encoding or Manual Encoding

# Encoder –a 0 –e 0

➢If setting to use the automatic mode, there is no need to set “-x -b”. The tool will automatically match the

appropriate encoding parameters and bandwidth according to the input source.

➢Following are more encoding samples for reference:

Example-1：check HDMI input information:

# ./Encoder -a 0 -i

Example-2: set encode auto mode

# ./Encoder -a 0 -e 0

Example-3: set encode manual mode, h265 and open audio and bitrate to 50Mbps

# ./Encoder -a 0 -e 1 -x 0 -b 50

Example-4: set encode manual mode, h264 and open audio and bitrate to 30Mbps

# ./Encoder -a 0 -e 1 -x 1 -b 30

Address: East Room, 3/F Bldg. B, Xinghong Industrial Park, Shuiku RD., Xixiang Town, Bao’an District, SZ, China, 518055

10 / 22

Example-5: set program name to 4ktv

# ./Encoder -a 0 -N 4ktv

Example-6: set the pids (pmt, pcr, vpid, apid) to 1024,768,512,256

# ./Encoder -a 0 -t 1024,768,512,256

Example-7: check the latest configuration

# ./Encoder -a 0 -c

Example-8: reset for encode chip “m10v”

# ./Encoder -a 0 -r

Example-9: get system version

# ./Encoder -a 0 –v

5. Streaming the channel to network

There are many kinds of streaming software under the Linux system, such as DVBlast, TVheadend, Astra Cesbo,

MumuDVB, etc. TBS6301T encoding PCIe card is compatible with all these software, for streaming the encoded

4K channel to network.

5.1 Use DVBlast to stream the channel

1.DVBlast installation

# sudo apt install dvblast (under Ubuntu system)

# su yum install dvblast (under CentOS system)

2.Check if there is valid input through the TBS6301T encoding card.

# Encoder –a 0 –i
