    Transcodiing on Quad plus

    Hello all. Looking to replace my solo2 with a new stb with cable tuner as well as satellite.
    obvious choices were duo2 or quad +.
    So I was wondering if transcoding is working on the quad + yet, and if it is , what is the quality like?
    Thanks all

    Working on XPEED LX3, quality good for transcoding.

    Oh, never new about the xpeed lx3, looks great.
    have you ever had a solo2? If you have how does the transcoding comapre?
    Solo2 transcoding is only really good enough for mobile/tablet.

    The transcoding of the Quad is identical to the Solo2; so the same picture-quality and restrictions.

    Transcoding on Quad Plus is not working properly on ViX Apollo 015 for me. I get sound and a static video image on vlc. It definitely was working (although with sound synchronisation issues) with OpenATV. I think another poster @judge, had transcoding working on the Quad (not Plus) on early Apollo releases.

    Hi,
    when it is the same as in the Solo2 do you have framerate @30 or @60Hz? With my Solo2 25 and 50 are not really working.

    60Hz is indeed a prerequisite.

    I just tested it on Quad-Plus: Transcoding works in Open-ATV but not in ViX-apollo 15.

    Seems odd to be transcoding native tv frame rate from 25/50 to 30/60, but I presume this is a requirement of iPad, iPhone etc? (I don't own either). I can see there are situations where recorded files would have a US framerate certainly.

    Hi,
    no it is a limitation of the Solo2 as 25/50 is working perfect with Duo2.

    as Sicilian mentioned you also have the option of the LX3 it is a very nice receiver and personally worth considering alongside the Quad and Duo2

    Has anybody had any problems with audio on the transcoding? I don't get any audio at all.

    Settings are just 8002, 1Mbps, 30fps.

    Tested on VLC Mac and iPhone.

    Rob - just going back through this thread. Do you know if the transcoding has been fixed in Vix 023 for the Quad+? I looked through the change logs but can see nothing relating to transcoding.

    I'm still in the same position where I get the picture, but no audio.
