TS Library

Introduction

Transport stream (TS) is not a streaming protocol but a media format most suitable for streaming or media transmission systems. HLS as well as other protocols, most notably MPEG-DASH, utilizes TS for media data segments. In addition to that, TS itself can be used for direct streaming via multicast or even via pushing it by HTTP server (so-called TS over HTTP).

Transport Stream

VASTreaming TS library provides the following functionality:

• Receive or send multicast transport stream
• Read or write transport stream from/to a file
• TS over HTTP client and server
• Decode transport stream received by other means, for example, as an RTP payload

Features

• H.264, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 video
• AAC, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AC-3, DTS audio
• Multi-program streams (MPTS) with the ability to filter programs and elementary streams

For customer needs, any video or audio streaming custom features could be easily implemented with this library, including such serious options as the protocol extensions.
