EPGS

Epgs is a program for synthetising EIT tables continously from files obtained from an EPG content provider.

Epgs generates the present-and-following information, as well as EEPG (Extended Electronic Program Guide) for a specific number of days (up to 32). The software outputs an MPEG-2 transport stream, containing elementary streams with EPG data. The streams may then be transmitted to digital headend mux and added to the multiplexes transmitted to subscribers.

Benefits
New possibilities
  • Present and following programme information on the  customer's screen.
  • Extended EPG data available for navigation and search.
  • Acquiring EPG data from various, cost-effective sources.

  • Very limited hardware requirements.
  • May be installed on costumer-provided hardware.
Simplicity and comfort
  • A maintenance-free solution.
  • Web-based, simple and aesthetic management interface.
  • Convenient system status panel for simple diagnostics.
Flexibility
  • Can import EPG data in almost all formats from almost all sources.
  • Easily extendable to new input formats.
  • Character encoding scheme is configurable on every stage of EPG data processing.
Features
  • Supports od XML (SDF) files obtained from EPG provider.
  • Automatic, scheduled XML files downloading from a ftp server.
  • Possible to implement support for other EPG formats.
  • Generates P/F and EEPG for actual and other transport streams.
  • IP output as an UDP-encapsulated MPEG2-TS stream. (ASI output as an option.)
  • Runs on a server under control of GNU/Linux operating system.
