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.

Combined with a cheap HDMI switch with remote control capabilities (with IR code sent through TCP IP to a IR blaster) we obtain an efficient way to monitor and debug few mining rigs when those fail to respond to conventional monitoring software.

 I’m using the encoder with the latest firmware release v1.1.12, the update from base version was very easy and without issue following the instruction from TBS website.
H.265 protocol offers max quality and low overhead to the network for continuous 24/7 stream of the display output without causing the teamviewer performance penalties to the miner.

After 5 months of 24/7 usage the TBS 2603 encoder work great without any issue whatsoever.

... part 2 coming soon.

TBS6903 Review, the best DVB-S2 Tuner for truly passionate consumers

TBS6903 Professional DVB-S2 Dual Tuner PCIe Card is the new tuner from TBS, which is basically the same board as the TBS6983 but with the new FPGA-based PCI-E 2.0 bridge. The purpose of the FPGA is to ensure backward compatibility with the existing motherboards and also with the latest chipsets. Due to the fact that TBS 6903 DVB-S2 tuner is on the professional side, the package does not contain a remote control or IR sensor; instead the package contains a CD equipped with software/drivers, a power adapter with a HH motor and a low profile bracket (to facilitate the usage against a SFF HTPC/IP streaming server/system). A couple of features will make this DVB-S2 PCIe card stand-up: EUMETCast Compatibility, VCM, ACM,16APSK,32APSK, Multi Input Stream, Generic stream mode and Blind scan support. Another advantage is that the card can lock on transponders with symbol rate as low as 200 ksps. From a passionate user’s perspective the features enumerated above are the one that really c...
