==Contact==
Lorenzo Pallara (l.pallara@avalpa.com)
==Introduction==
This package is a collection of softwares for Linux system to play out and multiplex MPEG2 transport stream format
Use-cases:
MHP, MHEG5, HbbTv and others interactive tv standards object carousel broadcast
Playout of locally stored, offline encoded audio and video for non-live tv and radio stations
Multiplexing of input multicasted UDP transport stream to output multicasted UDP transport stream
VOD system based on mpeg2 transport stream over IP or over DVB for walled garden network like hotels with coax or ethernet.
DVB-SSU update
Data casting
Teletext generator
IP encapsualtor
PSI/SI generator
EPG generator
==Integration==
OpenCaster output has been successfully integrated with a long list of dvb products, among them there are products by Cisco/Scientific Atlanta, Ericsson/Tandberg, Dektec, Eurotek, Harmonic/Scopus, MainConcept, Mitan, Screen Service, Adtec, Wellav, Arris, Sr-Systems, Deltacast, ...

mpeg audio layer 2 suggested bit rates:
56 kbps -> 1 pes packet -> 1 ts packet
112 kbps -> 1 pes packet -> 2 ts packets
160 kbps -> 1 pes packet -> 3 ts packets
224 kbps -> 1 pes packet -> 4 ts packets
all the others fall in the middle and are not a wise choice
