9. Conversion tool to create a compliant TS file

The option "Media player" gives an opportunity to install a TS file from a via network connected PC to the module. The 

file must have a DVB standard conform format. 

BLANKOM 

affords a conversion program which generates a compliant 

file from a large number of video file formats. Following this, the converted file can be fed-in as an additional channel.

9.1 Range of functions

VideoKonverter.jar

“ converts the video files into the required transport stream format. The program  makes sure that 

the resulting file has a constant bitrate, correct video and audio bitrates and that the TS meta data are configurable as 

requested. Available are resolutions SD, HD 720 or HD 1080. 

tsmux.exe

“ optimizes the generated transport stream so that the player is able to run compressed null packages.

FFmpeg

“  generates the transport stream. It is based on a buffer model that is different from the player. 

Therefore “tsmux.exe“ arranges the packets in the transport stream so that continue-count-errors that are caused by the 

wrong buffer model can be suppressed.

9.2 Installation requirements

The conversion program consists of two components: the platform-independent“VideoKonverter.jar“ and the Windows 

application“tsmux.exe“. For the installation of the program requires the following:

1. Check the installed version of Java 

Establish an internet connection to the PC and call up the following link (free dowload):

   

http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

Update your software, if necessary. Alternatively, test the Java version without an internet connection using command 

prompt:

Open the command prompt and type 

 

 

java-version

followed by  

<Enter>.

Result is either an error message if Java is not installed or the version information of the existing Java installation. 

2. Install the software“FFmpeg“ to run the program

To run the conversion tool, you need to download and install the free“FFmpeg“ software, according to your system 

software (32 bit version  recommended):
 

Linux   

http://ffmpeg.gusari.org/static/

 

Windows 

http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

 

MacO   

http://www.evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/

An installation of FFmpeg as a self-running process is not required. The downloaded, packed files must be extracted in a 

freely chosen target path. Later, this path is used in the “VideoKonverter“ software as an auxiliary path.

3. Preview of the video file

BLANKOM

 recommendates the VLC player to preview your chosen video file. This player can handle many of the popluar 

video formats. 

Free download under:
 

VLC player 

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/#download

Start the installation with "

vlc.exe

".
