This program takes a set of teletext page files and generates a feature rich transmission stream on stdout or via a TCP server socket.
The transmission stream can be piped to raspi-teletext or any other application that needs a teletext packet stream. It is a console application that can be compiled for Linux or Windows.
It generates a T42 teletext stream that can be piped to raspi-teletext to add a teletext signal to the Raspberry Pi composite output, vbit-py to drive a Vbit teletext inserter board, or into the vbit-iv in-vision renderer.
VBIT2 can also optionally generate output an mpeg transport stream containing DVB-TXT for merging into a digital television stream.
VBIT2 includes the following features:
- Parallel mode transmission of teletext magazines.
- Cycling subpage carousels.
- Level 1.5 and 2.5 features including dynamic character and object downloading pages and Packet 29 insertion.
- Format 1 Broadcast Service Data Packet generation with automatic daylight saving time adjustment.
- Fastext and TOP navigation support.
- IDL Format A and B data broadcast transmission.
- TCP control interface for live manipulation of teletext pages and service parameters.
- DVB-TXT packetized elementary stream generation.
- Network packet server to provide a teletext packet stream to multiple clients.
