DVBlast is written to be the core of a custom IRD, CID, or ASI gateway, based on a PC with a Linux-supported card. It is very lightweight and stable, designed for 24/7 operation. DVBlast does not do any kind of processing on the elementary streams, such as transcoding, PID remapping or remultiplexing. If you were looking for these features, switch to VLC. It does not stream from plain files (have a look at multicat instead). DVBlast supports several input methods: linux-dvb-supported cards (DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-C, DVB-T...) with or without CI interface DVB-ASI cards (from Computer Modules) UDP or RTP, unicast or multicast, streams carrying a transport stream
It outputs one or several RTP streams carrying transport streams with: hardware or software PID filtering PID-based or service-based demultiplexing optional descrambling via CAM device optional DVB tables
