[needs-packaging] MLT/Melted- television station video playout server

Description: Melted by MLT

A multimedia framework and video playout server designed for television broadcasting.

As such, it provides a pluggable architecture for the inclusion of new audio / video sources, filters, transitions and playback devices. It allows you to build services for authoring and manipulating playlists and multiple tracks, on which you can apply the supported effects and filters. MLT provides bindings for C++ / C# / Java / Lua / Perl / PHP / Python / Ruby and TCL!

On the multimedia level, it integrates many libraries, among which we find FFmpeg, Jack audio routing, of swfdec – and integrates image and text rendering. Provided effects include advanced features like motion-tracking and alpha-compositing. Developing on the platform goes through an XML authoring schema, a client / server protocol (MVCP) and an API for playout scheduling. Melted is the included multi-unit video playout server with realtime effects serving as reference application for the toolkit (beware, it’s all cmdline based). Live IP streaming output is supported through FFmpeg, and MLT supports libavformat’s protocols to read network streams such as multicast MPEG2-TS / UDP, RTP, RTMP, RTSP, MMS, and HTTP Live Streaming. As regards supported SDI devices, Blackmagic cards are supported with MLT Decklink module for input / output, and Linsys / DVEO cards are supported for output with MLT SDI module. It also lets you read various formats such as DV, HDV, and TS over pipes.
