[FFmpeg-devel] Patches to add libomt OpenMediaTransport support to FFmpeg

[ffmpeg at gallery.co.uk]

Hi Folks

We are part of the group creating a new open source and free to use professional IP Video protocol called OMT (open media transport)
It's similar to NDI in many ways, but completely open source and royalty free.

The protocol is now officially  launched and is already gaining lots of attention from companies in the broadcast industry.

You can read about it here:
https://openmediatransport.org/
and 
https://github.com/openmediatransport/
The github includes the full source code of OMT and its underlying codec VMX, along with binaries, and links to free utilities leveraging OMT across the 3 major platforms.

The video codec used in OMT is actually the same as the vmix codec which is already implemented in decoder-only form in FFMPEG.

We have have already completed implementation of this protocol into FFMPEG 7 and I enclose patches to add this to the current FFmpeg origin/master.


If the .eml patches dont make it through the email, here are links to them:

https://www.sienna-tv.com/omt/0002-Patched-libomt-into-FFmpeg.eml


To build this also requires the pre-built omt libraries which are available at   
https://github.com/openmediatransport/libomtnet/releases
also, available from:    
https://www.sienna-tv.com/omt/OMTlibs.zip

Finally We have published the entire source code for ffmpeg with libomt integrated at:
https://github.com/GalleryUK/FFmpeg-OMT

Please let me know if you have any questions
