Components for Developing ATVEF Authoring Tools

Broadcast Architecture provides a COM component, ATVEFSnd.dll, which you can use to create enhancement authoring tools. This COM component exposes several interfaces that your authoring tool can call to configure and transmit ATVEF announcements, triggers, and packaged files.

IATVEFInserterConfig, which is used to send IP packets directly to a VBI Inserter.
IATVEFMulticastConfig, which is used to broadcast over a NIC.
IATVEFAnnouncement, which is used to configure ATVEF announcements.
IATVEFPackage, which is used to compress enhancement files into a package. This must be done before they are transmitted to clients.
IATVEFSend, which is used to transmit announcements, files, and triggers.

For more information about these interfaces, see Enhancement Reference (ATVEF) and Using Video Enhancements (ATVEF).
