fdk-aac-dabplus Package
=======================
This package contains several tools that use the standalone library
of the Fraunhofer FDK AAC code from Android, patched for
960-transform to do DAB+ broadcast encoding.
The first tool, *dabplus-enc-file* can encode from a file or pipe
source, and encode into a file or pipe. There is no PAD support.
The *dabplus-enc-file-zmq* can encode from a file or pipe source,
and encode to a ZeroMQ output compatible with ODR-DabMux.
The *dabplus-enc-alsa-zmq* can encode from an ALSA soundcard,
and encode to a ZeroMQ output compatible with ODR-DabMux. It supports
experimental sound card clock drift compensation, that can compensate
for imprecise sound card clocks.
*dabplus-enc-file-zmq* and *dabplus-enc-alsa-zmq* include experimental
support for DAB MOT Slideshow and DLS, written by [CSP](http://rd.csp.it).
To encode DLS and Slideshow data, the *mot-encoder* tool reads images
from a folder, and DLS text from a file, and generates the PAD data
for the encoder.
For detailed usage, see the usage screen of the different tools.
More information is available on the
[Opendigitalradio wiki](http://opendigitalradio.org)
How to build
=============
Requirements:
* boost-thread and boost-system
* ImageMagick magickwand (for MOT slideshow)
* The alsa libraries
* Download and install libfec from https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/ka9q-fec
This package:
git clone https://github.com/mpbraendli/fdk-aac-dabplus.git
cd fdk-aac-dabplus
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install
* See the possible scenarios below on how to use the tools
* use mot-encoder to encode images into MOT Slideshow
How to use
==========
We assume:
ALSASRC="default"
DST="tcp://yourserver:9000"
BITRATE=64
Scenario 1
----------
Live Stream from ALSA sound card at 32kHz, with ZMQ output for ODR-DabMux:
dabplus-enc-alsa-zmq -d $ALSASRC -c 2 -r 32000 -b $BITRATE -o $DST
To enable sound card drift compensation, add the option **-D**:
dabplus-enc-alsa-zmq -d $ALSASRC -c 2 -r 32000 -b $BITRATE -o $DST -D
You might see **U** and **O<number>** appearing on the terminal. They correspond
to audio underruns and overruns that happen due to the different speeds at which
the audio is captured from the soundcard, and encoded into HE-AACv2.
High occurrence of these will lead to audible artifacts.
Scenario 2
----------
Play some local audio source from a file, with ZMQ output for ODR-DabMux. The problem with
playing a file is that dabplus-enc-file-zmq cannot directly be used, because ODR-DabMux
does not back-pressure the encoder, which will therefore encode much faster than realtime.
While this issue is sorted out, the following trick is a very flexible solution: use the
alsa virtual loop soundcard *snd-aloop* in the following way:
modprobe snd-aloop
This creates a new audio card (usually 'hw:1' but have a look at /proc/asound/card to be sure) that
can then be used for the alsa encoder:
./dabplus-enc-alsa-zmq -d hw:1 -c 2 -r 32000 -b 64 -o
Then, you can use any media player that has an alsa output to play whatever source it supports:
cd your/preferred/music
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.1 -srate 32000 -shuffle *
Important: you must specify the correct sample rate on both "sides" of the virtual sound card.
Scenario 3
----------
Live Stream encoding and preparing for DAB muxer, with ZMQ output, at 32kHz, using sox.
This illustrates the fifo input of *dabplus-enc-file-zmq*.
sox -t alsa $ALSASRC -b 16 -t raw - rate 32k channels 2 | \
dabplus-enc-file-zmq -r 32000 \
-i /dev/stdin -b $BITRATE -f raw -a -o $DST -p 53
The -p 53 sets the padlen, compatible with the default mot-encoder setting. mot-encoder needs
to be given the same value for this option.
Scenario 4
----------
Live Stream encoding and preparing for DAB muxer, with FIFO to odr-dabmux, 48kHz, using
arecord.
arecord -t raw -f S16_LE -c 2 -r 48000 -D plughw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=0,SUBDEV=0 | \
dabplus-enc-file -a -b 24 -f raw -c 2 -r 48000 -i /dev/stdin -o /dev/stdout 2>/dev/null | \
mbuffer -q -m 10k -P 100 -s 360 > station1.fifo
Here we are also using the ALSA plughw feature.
Scenario 5
----------
Wave file encoding, for non-realtime processing
dabplus-enc-file -a -b 64 -i wave_file.wav -o station1.dabp
Usage of MOT Slideshow
======================
MOT Slideshow is an experimental feature. The *mot-encoder* reads images from
the specified folder, and generates the PAD data for the encoder. This is
communicated through a fifo to the encoder.
Only *dabplus-enc-file-zmq* and *dabplus-enc-alsa-zmq* insert the PAD data from
mot-encoder into the bitstream.
This is an ongoing development.
