18 DVBlast is a simple and powerful streaming application based on the linux-dvb
19 API. It opens a DVB device, tunes it, places PID filters, configures a CAM
20 module, and demultiplexes the packets to several RTP outputs.
22 DVBlast is designed to be the core of a custom IRD or CID, based on a PC with
23 Linux-supported DVB cards.
25 DVBlast does not do any kind of processing on the elementary streams, such as
26 transcoding or remultiplexing. it does not stream from plain
27 files, only DVB devices. If you were looking for these features, switch to VLC.
31 \fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-adapter\fR <adapter>
32 Address of the adapter
34 \fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-asi\-adapter\fR
35 Read packets from an ASI adapter (0-n). If support for Deltacast ASI cards is
36 compiled in, prefix the adapter number with "deltacast:" to select a Deltacast
37 input. Deltacast inputs are numbered as (100 * card number) + channel number.
