How to set up a Red Hen capture station<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you are able to set up a capture station for television news, your language and region gets represented, and the Red Hen dataset improves for everyone.<\/p>\n

The minimum requirement is that you have a good digital tv signal, either from an antenna or a cable feed, and a reliable connection to the Internet. A wireless connection may be adequate. (Of course, electrical power and a safe, controlled environment are also necessary.)<\/p>\n

Basic models<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are three basic models for setting up a capture station, starting with the simplest and cheapest:<\/p>\n

    1. A Raspberry Pi\u2014see instructions below.<\/li>\n
    2. An Intel NUC7CJYH (see Wikipedia) is powerful enough to compress files, simplifying file transfers over slow networks; \u20ac150\n

        1. Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB 2.5 Inch Internal Hard Drive, \u00a369.97 (7mm thickness; max allowed is 9mm, so the 3 TB is too high)<\/li>\n
        2. RAM: Crucial 4GB Single DDR4 2400 MT\/S (PC4-19200) SR x8 Unbuffered SODIMM 260-Pin Memory – CT4G4SFS824A (DDR4)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        3. A rackmounted Linux for multiple tuners<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Red Hen has standardized on HDHomeRun or JokerTV tuners. The entire capture process is controlled by our custom software.<\/p>\n
