<p>It looks like there's plenty of software available to capture an RTMP stream available on the internet, although I personally have not tried any of it because I don't have a legitimate reason to do so.  However, to output to SDI, you might be interested in something like <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892451-REG/Blackmagic_Design_bdlkulsdzminmon_Ultrastudio_Mini_Monitor.html" rel="nofollow">this.</a></p>

<p>You can dump the RTMP stream to a local file using rtmpdump for example (<a href="http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/" rel="nofollow">http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/</a>), which is the library (but you can download it precompiled as well) that originally cracked the encryption on RTMP, which is a proprietary Adobe protocol.</p>

<p>Then you can use any other software, like ffmpeg, to output the file to SDI <em>WHILE</em> rtmpdump is still dumping the stream to the file in question.</p>

<p>The easiest bet is to simply play back the RTMP stream on a system with SDI output.  Don't even need special software, just full screen it and let it rip.</p>

Consider explaining your solution a bit more. Not everyone knows what an IRD or an STB is. You may want to expand the acronyms and give links to reference material.

<p>Is there any way to capture an RTMP stream and output it to SDI?</p>

<p>Here is my situation: We specialize in producing local sports for web streaming. Occasionally we are asked to deliver a stream to a local TV-station. Paying for uplink truck and the whole satellite thing is way beyond our budget.</p>

<p>I'm not really familiar with IP-based workflows, that's why capturing RTMP-stream was my first idea.</p>

You can dump the RTMP stream to a local file using rtmpdump for example (<http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/>), which is the library (but you can download it precompiled as well) that originally cracked the encryption on RTMP, which is a proprietary Adobe protocol.

Then you can use any other software, like ffmpeg, to output the file to SDI *WHILE* rtmpdump is still dumping the stream to the file in question.
