Teleste announced a new receiver for its Luminato 4X4 platform that lets operators deliver live over-the-top television streams to sites using conventional cable or IPTV distribution. Available in the fourth quarter of 2026, the receiver converts incoming OTT streams into the formats local systems require, so operators can extend their television offering without changing their delivery network or the site's television distribution. The adaptive bitrate receiver supports live MPEG-DASH streams and decryption of content protected by Widevine DRM, converting these services into MPEG transport streams for local IP multicast or QAM distribution, with IP and QAM outputs able to operate simultaneously. For cable distribution, the dense QAM module supports up to 32 QAM carriers per module, with support for DVB-C and ITU-T J.83 Annex B, while the Luminato 4X4 chassis accommodates up to six hot-swappable modules and dual power supplies. Julius Tikkanen, Vice President, Video Service Platforms at Teleste, said moving the incoming television feed to streaming does not mean every screen has to become a streaming device, and that Luminato handles that transition at the receiving site. The receiver will be available for both new Luminato 4X4 systems and compatible existing installations, with hotels, hospitals, care facilities and multi-dwelling properties cited as natural applications.
