- Transfer the teletext page over network to FAB Teletext Data Generator / Network Controller
Other functionalities like loading of data from any kind of source (SQL Database, HTML internet pages or other) is not part of FAB Teletext Network API and must be implemented separately in the program.
FAB Teletext Network API is licensed per site. The buyer can install the software on any number of PCs on one site.
The API is implemented as a 32bit and 64bit COM Object under Windows and can be used with any programming language that supports COM Objects like Visual Basic, VBScript, C++, Delphi, Word, Perl, PHP and others. The functions are easy to use and have the following functionality:
- Load and save teletext pages in a large number of file formats.
- Supported file formats for loading: *.TTP, *.EP1, *.WSP, *.OVL, *., *.BIN, *.PGW, *.VTX, *.TPG, *.TTI, *.DTA, *.PAG, *.VTS, *.TED, *.TTV. *.TT, *.FIL
- Read/write text and graphics from/to the teletext page.
- Communicate to Teletext Data Generator and Teletext Network Controller over TCP/IP
Among others following applications can be realized by using FAB Teletext Network API and FAB Teletext Data Generator:
- Teletext file format conversion
- Transfer of teletext pages from and to Teletext Data Generator or Network Controller
- Interactive teletext like SMS Chat
- Data broadcast transmission

The following FAB solutions can be used for teletext subtitles:
1. Transmission of teletext subtitles in SDI
FAB Subtitler BCAST/XCD can transmit subtitles over network to FAB Teletext Subtitle Generator which generates a teletext stream with one or more teletext subtitle pages. The teletext stream can be inserted into one or more different SDI signals by FAB PCIe card.
2. Transmission of teletext subtitles over TS/IP or TS/ASI
FAB Subtitler BCAST/XCD can transmit subtitles over network to FAB Teletext Subtitle Generator which generates a teletext stream with one or more teletext subtitle pages. The teletext stream can be transmitted as TS/IP or TS/ASI synchronized to a PCR by FAB DVB Interface.
3. Insertion into TS files
FAB Subtitler PRO/LIVE/MPEG can open subtitle files in many different formats and insert the subtitles from the subtitle file as DVB bitmaps into a TS file as a stream with a separate PID. Watchfolder operation is supported but FAB Subtitler MPEG is required to be able to control FAB Subtitler using a REST interface.

4. Insertion into MXF files
Teletext Orf
FAB Subtitler MPEG can open subtitle files in many different formats and insert teletext subtitles from the subtitle file as teletext subtitles into MXF files into VBI/VANC. Watchfolder operation and control of FAB Subtitler using a REST interface are available.
