DVBMosaic 317.0

DVBMosaic

DVBMosaic is a powerful, flexible software solution for building and managing digital television headends. It acts as a software-based multiplexer (mux), allowing operators to combine multiple input streams (from encoders, satellites, or files), remap their Service Information (SI/PSI tables), apply scrambling/conditioning, and output a standards-compliant MPEG Transport Stream (TS). This is essential for creating bouquet channels, inserting local content, and preparing streams for modulation and distribution.

📺 Primary Users

DVBMosaic is developed for broadcast engineers, IPTV/OTT operators, headend technicians, and satellite service providers. It is specifically designed for professionals who need to multiplex, remap, and broadcast multiple MPEG-2/MPEG-4/H.264/H.265 video/audio streams into standard-compliant DVB transport streams for distribution via satellite, cable, terrestrial, or IP networks.

✨ Key Features & Capabilities

• Advanced Stream Multiplexing (Muxing): Combine multiple audio, video, and data elementary streams into a single MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) with configurable bitrates and PID mapping.

• Comprehensive SI/PSI Table Generation & Remapping: Full control over DVB Service Information (PAT, PMT, SDT, NIT, EIT) and Program Specific Information. Remap PIDs and service IDs to create clean, standards-compliant output.

• Multi-Input Source Support: Ingest streams from various sources: DVB-S/S2/S2X, DVB-T/T2, DVB-C tuner cards, IP streams (UDP/RTP, multicast), ASI interfaces, and file playlists.

• Transrating & Transcoding (Conditional): Optional modules for changing the bitrate (transrating) or codec (transcoding) of incoming streams to optimize bandwidth within the multiplex.

• Conditional Access (CA) & Scrambling Support: Interface with common Conditional Access systems (via Simulcrypt) to scramble channels and insert ECM/EMM data.

• Multi-Output & Distribution: Output the multiplexed TS via IP (UDP, RTP, multicast), ASI, or to DVB modulator cards for RF transmission.

• Monitoring & Redundancy: Built-in stream monitoring with alarms, support for automatic input failover, and N+1 redundancy configurations for critical broadcast chains.

🆕 What’s New in DVBMosaic v317.0

Version 317.0 focuses on enhanced codec support, increased density, and modern infrastructure compatibility:

1. Extended HEVC/H.265 & AV1 Support: Improved handling and passthrough of HEVC/H.265 streams and initial support for AV1 codec in transport streams, preparing for next-gen broadcast standards.

2. Increased Channel Density per Server: Optimizations to support a higher number of concurrent input streams and output multiplexes on a single server, improving cost-efficiency.

3. Enhanced IP Input/Output Security: Support for SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) as an input and output protocol, enabling secure, low-latency contribution over the public internet.

4. Updated DVB Standards Compliance: Adherence to the latest updates of DVB standards (e.g., DVB-S2X, DVB-T2) for tuner input and signal generation.

5. Modernized Web Management Interface: A more responsive and feature-rich web-based GUI for remote configuration, monitoring, and control of multiple DVBMosaic instances.
