Frequently Asked Questions — Uniguest IPTV & Digital Signage
Straight answers on Uniguest MediaStar and Hub AV IPTV headends, encoders, transcoders and media players for hotels, hospitals, campuses, stadiums and government facilities.
What is a Uniguest IPTV system?
IPTV delivers live TV, internal channels and video on demand over the building's IP network instead of coax. Uniguest headends take in broadcast, satellite and in-house sources, encode them, and stream them to media players or smart TVs at every screen.
What is the difference between MediaStar and Hub AV?
MediaStar is Uniguest's modular IPTV platform built on chassis and blades. Hub AV (formerly Tripleplay) is a server-based platform with interactive TV and video on demand. The right one depends on the size of the site and how interactive the guest or patient experience needs to be.
What do the encoders, transcoders and gateways do?
Encoders turn HDMI, SDI or component sources into IP streams. Transcoders convert existing streams into the formats and bitrates the network needs. Gateways bring in streams from outside, such as the 799 re-caster with SRT for secure delivery over the internet.
Do I need a chassis?
MediaStar blades install into a chassis, either the single-slot 769 or the multi-slot 3RU 770, which provides power and backplane connections. Standalone units such as the 785 encoder and 1U ENCOD3R models do not need one.
Which media player should I choose?
MediaStar and Hub AV players such as the 800, SP2-EAC3 and P3 deliver IPTV to each screen. Onelan NTB players run signage zones, from single-zone retail players to unlimited-zone 4K units, and Hub players handle signage on the Uniguest Hub platform.
Can one system do both TV and signage?
Yes. Many players handle IPTV and signage together, so a hospital or hotel screen can show live channels alongside messaging and wayfinding.
Does Creation Networks design and install Uniguest systems?
Yes. We size the headend to the channel lineup and screen count, design the network for multicast video, install and commission the system, and support it after handover. Call (888) 230-3661 or email sales@creationnetworks.net.
