BBright Multi-TS
Multi-TS is an easy-to-use and cost-effective compressed video playout server for professional broadcast or streaming applications such as for satellite, terrestrial, cable networks, telco IPTV operators and playout facilities. Multi-TS supports H.265/H.264/MPEG-2 TS files, for PIP, SD, HD, full-HD or UHD channels. Video and audio PIDs can be selected and remapped for multiple SPTS over UDP or RTP multicast streaming.
The connector polls data from the device by using its REST API. The connector can only be used to view information on the device, not to configure the device.
About
The connector monitors the alarms, channels and playlists of the device, by polling the data using an HTTP connection.
A list of all the alarms, channels or playlists can be retrieved with a single device query. In order to get the details for each of these properties, they need to be queried one at a time.

The channel names must be unique, as having multiple channels with the same name would cause issues with the display key.

For example, if there are 3 channels named Channel, when the table with the names of the channels is created, these will be renamed to Channel, Channel (1) and Channel (2).
