Prototype Features

A non-AVC-version is available for testing on non-AVC-equipped machines. On that version, AVC grab input and AVC playout is not included. There are separate programs for sending and receiving. Non-AVC and AVC-enabled versions are fully compatible.

Sender part

Usage: dv_send [-n number_of_frames] [-f file] -p payloadType destination[/port/ttl]

• Two grab modes supported through user-given command-line arguments
  • AVC (SGI DVLink API) grab input from IEEE 1394 attached units.
  • Read from file.
• Frame format detection.
• RTP ADU formation for SD-VCR (525/60, 625/50) for compile-time-defined MTU (1640 default)
• Dynamic payload assignment through user-given command-line argument.
• Complete RTP header information transfered.
• Multicast enabled.

Receiver part

Usage: dv_receive [-n number_of_frames] [-o file] [-c <IEEE 1394 channel number>] -f frameFormat -p payloadType source[/port]

• Frame format settable through user-given command-line argument.
• Dynamic payload assignment through user-given command-line argument.
• Multicast enabled.
• Packet loss detection through RTP sequence number comparison.
• Circular playout buffer with timely playout of received frames.
• Two playout modes supported through user-given command-line arguments
  • AVC (SGI DVLink API) output to IEEE 1394 attached units.
