Transcoding reflector

Transcoding reflector has 2 modes how to handle incoming data stream. Please note that one running instance of transcoding reflector can act in both modes - one output "port" can be transcoding while the second not.

• packet reflector - this mode is undistinguishable from normal packet reflector. In this mode, reflector simply retransmits received packets to new destination without altering it in any way. In this mode, some features like change of MTU, compression, blending etc. are not available.
• transcoding reflector - in this mode, stream is decoded and can then be recompressed, MTU or FEC can be changed as well. Capture filter or blanding can be applied. Rule of thumb is that output port is in transcoding state any time when -c (compression) is specified, even if it is "none" for uncompressed transmission.
