Encoding Requirements and Recommendations
Before using the Web Application to build a database of content that can be played, you have
to upload the content to the Digital Broadcaster via your network or capture content to the
Digital Broadcaster via the optional onboard MPEG Encoder. The minimum encoding
requirements, as well as encoding recommendations, listed below provide a minimum set of
criteria to create compatible MPEG content. The applicability of the recommendations
depends on the encoder and the editing software your installation uses.
TelVue strongly recommends you review these encoding requirements and
recommendations, as well as the requirements for your encoder and editing
software, to determine what encoding criteria will work best for your
installation. Encode and test a few files before committing resources to a
large effort.
Encoding Requirements
The Digital Broadcaster supports standard MPEG program and transport streams. In order to
ensure optimum video playout quality on the Digital Broadcaster, MPEG video and audio
content must be encoded to certain specifications.
• B-series ASI and IPTV servers support MPEG-2 Transport streams with Constant
Rate Transport only.
• Video files for playout must be encoded into a multiplexed MPEG-2 program or
transport stream or MPEG-1 system stream format. Video can be encoded at rates up
to 15 Mbps.
• The video and audio timestamps in a file must be continuous and increasing, with no
haphazard edits that might affect the timestamps. The time between the first and last
timestamps in a file should reflect the actual duration of the file.
Encoding Recommendations
TelVue recommends you follow these criteria when encoding. However, the criteria you
need to encode MPEG files for use at your installation will vary, depending on the encoder in
use, whether you edit files or just play them end-to-end, and the software used to edit files.
Refer to the encoder and editing software documentation for their requirements.
• MPEG profile and level: main profile, main level (requirement)
