# odr-dabmux(1)

A software DAB multiplexer

## NAME

**odr-dabmux** - A software DAB multiplexer

## SYNOPSIS

odr-dabmux \<configuration\_file\>

This software requires a configuration file. See doc/example.config for an example format for the configuration file

## DESCRIPTION

odr-dabmux implements a DAB multiplexer that combines all audio and data inputs into an ETI output. It can be used off-line (i.e. not real-time) to generate ETI data for later processing, or in a real-time streaming scenario (e.g. in a transmitter).

odr-dabmux can read input audio or data from files (".mp2" for DAB, ".dabp" for DAB+), FIFOs (also called "named pipes"), or from a network connection. This network connection can use UDP (STI-D) or EDI.

The configuration of the multiplexer is given in a configuration file, whose format is defined in the example files in the doc/ folder inside the ODR-DabMux repository.
