What is Stream Gateway by CEF?

The Stream Gateway receives a video stream over the internet (SRT MPTS / SPTS, or HLS) and converts it into a UDP, HLS or DASH output stream, ready to deliver on the local IP network.

It can deliver streams as unicast and multicast, build HLS (m3u8) and DASH (mpd), output to an HDMI monitor and offer an in-browser preview of all available programs. It runs on a Raspberry Pi and is designed for continuous operation.
