Streaming real-time raw video over TS/MPEG2 UDP stream

[mpichini]

Hello,

I've a video compression board that receives a SDI Composite PAL input video stream from a TV Camera and provides the video in raw video format on a PCIe bus.
I get the video raw data from the processor board via a DMA I/O channel.
Now I want to create a TS/MPEG2 UDP stream to distribute the video to a VLC Client.
Any idea if and how can I achieve this with VLC ?

best regards,
Massimo

depends on your board.
We currently only support blackmagic sdk as input

Hello,
thanks for the reply. The board is an ICS8580 from Abaco.
The basic idea is to read the raw video from the DMA channel and process it to create the TS/MPEG2 streaming.
I understand that vlc can read raw video from, e.g. a file and stream it over an UDP TS/MPEG2.
I want to provide a different source for feeding the input raw video to vlc for streaming.
This probably means either linking/using part of VLC software for the actual streaming writing the part of code that receives that from the DMA channel and passes it along vlc for streaming.

If the board outputs raw v210, we have no support for now

I've asked the raw video output format to the board producer.
In the meantime could you please tell me which raw format are supported by vlc ?
kind regards,
Massimo

The raw video format is YUV422, is this format supported by vlc ?

Yes. You may need to specify that, though.
