scte35-go is a Go library to supports creating, decorating, and analyzing
binary Digital Program Insertion Cueing Messages.
This library is fully compliant and compatible with all versions of the ANSI/SCTE 35 specification up to and including ANSI/SCTE 35 2022b.
This project uses Semantic Versioning and is published as a Go Module.
Get the module:
$ go get github.com/Comcast/scte35-go
go get: added github.com/Comcast/scte35-go v1.2.1Additional examples can be found in examples.
Binary signals can be quickly and easily decoded from base-64 or hexadecimal strings.
The results can be output as a:
- String - emulating the table structure used in the SCTE 35 specification.
- XML - compliant with the SCTE 35 XML Schema
- JSON - for integrating with JSON based tools such as jq

}Encoding signals is equally simple. You can start from scratch and build a
scte35.SpliceInfoSection or decode an existing signal and modify it to suit
your needs.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/Comcast/scte35-go/pkg/scte35"
)
func main() {
// start with a signal
sis := scte35.SpliceInfoSection{
SpliceCommand: scte35.NewTimeSignal(0x072bd0050),
SpliceDescriptors: []scte35.SpliceDescriptor{
&scte35.SegmentationDescriptor{
DeliveryRestrictions: &scte35.DeliveryRestrictions{
NoRegionalBlackoutFlag: true,
ArchiveAllowedFlag: true,
DeviceRestrictions: scte35.DeviceRestrictionsNone,
},
SegmentationEventID: uint32(0x4800008e),
SegmentationTypeID: scte35.SegmentationTypeProviderPOStart,
SegmentationUPIDs: []scte35.SegmentationUPID{
scte35.NewSegmentationUPID(scte35.SegmentationUPIDTypeTI, []byte("78511452")),
},
SegmentNum: 2,
},
},
EncryptedPacket: scte35.EncryptedPacket{CWIndex: 255},
Tier: 4095,
SAPType: 3,
}
// encode it
_, _ = fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "Original:\n")
_, _ = fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "base-64: %s\n", sis.Base64())
_, _ = fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "hex : %s\n", sis.Hex())
// add a segmentation descriptor
sis.SpliceDescriptors = append(
sis.SpliceDescriptors,
&scte35.DTMFDescriptor{
DTMFChars: "ABC*",
},
)
// encode it again
_, _ = fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "\nModified:\n")
_, _ = fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "base-64: %s\n", sis.Base64())
_, _ = fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "hex : %s\n", sis.Hex())

an error occurs. This is done to help better identify the specific cause of the
decoding failure.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"code.comcast.com/jbaile223/scte35/pkg/scte35"
)
func main() {
sis, err := scte35.DecodeBase64("FkC1lwP3uTQD0VvxHwVBEH89G6B7VjzaZ9eNuyUF9q8pYAIXsRM9ZpDCczBeDbytQhXkssQstGJVGcvjZ3tiIMULiA4BpRHlzLGFa0q6aVMtzk8ZRUeLcxtKibgVOKBBnkCbOQyhSflFiDkrAAIp+Fk+VRsByTSkPN3RvyK+lWcjHElhwa9hNFcAy4dm3DdeRXnrD3I2mISNc7DkgS0ReotPyp94FV77xMHT4D7SYL48XU20UM4bgg==")
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "Error: %s\n", err)
}
// splice info section contains best-effort decoding
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "Signal: %s", sis)
}As we can see from the output below, the signal has a corrupted component_count,
causing the decoder to return a scte.ErrBufferOverflow:
$ go run ./examples/bad_signal.go

}The SCTE 35 decoder performs automatic CRC_32 validation. The returned error
can be explicitly ignored if desired.
sis, err := scte35.DecodeBase64("/DA4AAAAAAAAAP/wFAUABDEAf+//mWEhzP4Azf5gAQAAAAATAhFDVUVJAAAAAX+/AQIwNAEAAKeYO3Q=")
if err != nil && !errors.Is(err, scte35.ErrCRC32Invalid) {
return err
}Additional diagnostics can be enabled by redirecting the output of
scte35.Logger
scte35.Logger.SetOutput(os.Stderr)This package also provides a simple command line interface that supports encoding and decoding signals from the command line.
