EPAM Systems
"TSDuck is used at EPAM Systems as a part of
streaming/testing infrastructure for one of our clients. Our system is based on
shell scripts which are utilising TSDuck to feed
DTE-3114
with test streams and distribute DVB-C signal to development CPEs.
Entire solution is very stable (with couple of months of uptime) and working 24/7.
Thierry was very helpful in the past and when requested to provide support for
Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) it was matter of days before he did.
Thank you for TSDuck and hoping to contribute in future."

Interalmería TV
"In 2019, we successfully incorporated TSDuck into our DVB-T broadcast workflows,
enhancing our service offerings to Spanish local television and radio stations through
the addition of Electronic Program Guide (EPG), HbbTV (red button) applications,
and recently, AI-generated subtitles. Since its integration, TSDuck has operated continuously
without any interruption or failures, demonstrating remarkable reliability and efficiency,
delivering said services to the living room of tens of thousands of people daily.
Furthermore, TSDuck has emerged as our preferred tool for analysis and debugging of DVB streams.
Its comprehensive feature set outshines many commercial professional tools we have evaluated,
establishing TSDuck as an indispensable asset in our operational framework."

International Datacasting Corporation
"At International Datacasting Corporation,
we have been using TSDuck for testing purposes. It has all the features we require
and is easy to use. It is true that you can create a plugin in less than a day!
We very much appreciate the responsiveness of Thierry to issues that are brought up.
We are also looking at incorporating these libraries into our products going forward.
We are very impressed and hope to contribute more to the project in the future."

Ocean Blue Software
"Ocean Blue Software
is a software development company that specialises in middleware for TV/Set top box systems.
We use TSDuck to create and edit test streams for use in debugging and QA of broadcast TV devices.
Its ability to rewrite SI data from XML is the main feature we use.
We maintain a set of python scripts to generate entirely custom TS files for testing and demos,
using FFmpeg and TSDuck.
We like it for its wide coverage of DVB standards and its flexibility.
Plus the support from TSDuck developers is very quick when we've needed it
and it's very well documented."

Vision Advance Technology Inc. (VATek) "Vision Advance Technology designs and manufactures ICs for DTV modulation and multimedia encode & streaming technology. TSDuck has a very complete function in processing MPEG TS. We developed an exclusive VATek plugin together, so that Modulators based on VATek chips can be used on TSDuck platform which expands diversified application. We also hope to develop products combining with TSDuck, integrating them into a semi-solution product to support clients who do not know how to make TS file. We fully appreciate Thierry for bringing up valuable feedback and suggesting improvements. We are deeply impressed and looking forward to contributing to the project." |
