The Plasma Teletext Data Feed Handler (DFH) is a software solution designed to import and manage various data formats—including high-frequency feeds, Excel spreadsheets, databases, XML, and text files—from multiple sources. It works in conjunction with the Teletext Page Formatter (TPF) to automate the conversion of these feeds into teletext-formatted pages suitable for broadcast. The system supports simultaneous management of multiple data feeds, isolated feed handling, and previewing of teletext pages before live publishing. It is particularly useful for applications such as stock price reporting, news, and information services in broadcast environments.
