TBS 2603 HDMI Video Encoder review, mining RIG monitoring when everything else fails

When it comes to monitor your mining rig the solution is straightforward, TeamViewer the number one choice when talk about remote access can sometimes fail without notice. My solution comes from a solid piece of hardware build by TBS, a HDMI video/audio encoding device  intended for professional used, which means that will not fail  when you need it most. The TBS 2603 HD H.264/H.265 HDMI audio & video encoding device supports 1 channel HDMI stream of H.264/H.265 encoding output and the AAC, Mp3 audio format. From any HDMI input source,  it generates an H.264/H.265-encoded stream compliant with multiple HTTP/RTSP/RTP/RTMP/UDP  protocols.

TBS5520 Multi-standard TV Tuner USB Box power draw

Puterea consumata in idle cu tunerul setat in modul DVB-T/T2 Puterea consumata cu receptie DVB-T/T2. In cazul TBS5520 posibile probleme, neconfirmate inca, pot aparea cu puterea livrata LNB-urilor in cazul cablurilor lungi, de proasta calitate sau a LNB-urilor high gain/PLL ce au un consum mai ridicat de curent. In acest caz instalatia de test, unde nu au fost observate probleme, este formata din ~40m de cablu end-to-end, Amiko DM3800 H-H Power Consumption: 50mA (Stand-by), 200mA (Normal), 350mA (Max.) switch S8/1PCP-W2 cu 60 mA (18 V) si Single HGLN 40mm LNB ce consuma
