DekTec SDI ingest¶

Flussonic Media Server can:

• Ingest video and audio directly from DekTec SDI cards.
• Pass video to a DekTec SDI card
• Read teletext in both standard definition (SD SDI) or high definition (HD SDI) streams received from DekTec cards.
• Read ad insertion markers from streams received from DekTec cards. Ad insertion markers are then converted from VBI SCTE-104 to SCTE-35 format suitable for sending to MPEG-TS and HLS. No additional settings required for that.
• Transmit Teletext B from MPEG-TS streams to video pushed to DekTec SDI cards.

Capturing video from DekTec SDI card¶

To capture video from DekTec SDI card, configure the stream with the dektec://serial_number:port source.

To specify the source via the web-interface, go to Media > click the stream name > on the Input tab enter the source in the New URL field > click Save.

You can also configure the stream via the configuration file, for example:

stream example {
  input dektec://2174220025:2;
}

Capturing audio from DekTec SDI card¶

Flussonic Media Server captures both PCM and AC-3 (Dolby Digital) audio from DekTec SDI cards. The first two audio tracks must be PCM. If the next two audio tracks are AC-3 audio, then it will be captured too.

No additional settings required for that.
