Hi

I am working on streaming TV channels on LAN. I found the following use case for Flash Media server

Satellite ---> DVB-S(catching the sattelite signals) ---> video capture card (convert signal in raw format) ---> FMLE (Encode signals) ---> FMS

a) My first question is that whether I can give MPEG-2 TS stream directly to FMS.

b) Secondly, what's the difference in use case when I use Wowza server. Can we give Wowza the MPEG-2TS stream directly.

Which one is better option for carrying out the task.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards

To answer your questions:

a) My first question is that whether I can give MPEG-2 TS stream directly to FMS

- As of now answer is NO - you have to take the way which you have mentioned: Satellite ---> DVB-S(catching the sattelite signals) ---> video capture card (convert signal in raw format) ---> FMLE (Encode signals) ---> FMS

b) I am not sure - you can check their product page to get confirmation.

As far as better option - again i think only person who has used both options and tried them out at different performance levels can comment.

Thank you very much for your prompt response. I got some more question.

In response to question (a), If I have to follow the use case

Satellite ---> DVB-S(catching the sattelite signals) ---> video capture card (convert signal in raw format) ---> FMLE (Encode signals) ---> FMS

Then is it possible that I get the signal from my DVB-S card and then use some software encoder to convert the MPEG-2TS stream in raw format?

If answer is yes, then can you please tell me some suitable software encoder. Also kindly tell me that how can I send this converted raw format signals to FMLE?

Thank you again for your help.
