DVBMux

DVBmux is a fully-featured MPEG-2 software-based multiplexer written with a DVB broadcasting environment in mind. Running under the control of a suitable Realtime Linux kernel, DVBmux may replace most overpriced hardware solutions in digital broadcasting headends or TV studios.

The design priorities of this application were reliability and performance. On decent machines DVBmux may processup to several Gbit/s of UDP-encapsulated MPEG-2 Transport Streams.

Benefits
New possibilities
  • Flexible composition of the operator's offering from multiple sources.
Cost efficiency
  • Low hardware requirements.
  • Scalable, soft-start scenarios easily possible.
Simplicity and performance
  • Web-based management.
  • Simple and aesthetic management interface.
  • Convenient status panel for quick performance monitoring.
  • Command-line management interface available (expert mode).
Flexibility
  • Easy integration with other DVByte products.
Features
  • Operates on MPEG2 TS streams encapsulated in UDP
  • Configurable routing of elementary streams - any input stream to any output stream routing
  • Runs on a Linux-controlled server.
  • Configuration via command line (supports the Telnetprotocol)
  • Integrated diagnostic capabilities to easily identify input streams
  • High performance even on budget-class servers: 2 x Xeon(TM) 2.8 GHz with 1 GB of RAM easily processes ~30 MPEG-TSes.
  • Supports both multicast and unicast streams.
