Scart to digital RF is expensive.

Analogue video needs to be digitized, then encoded to MPEG.
Data tables informing the receiving system about the network and available programmes have to be added. They are called NIT, PAT, PMT and SDT.
Everything needs to be packetized to get 188 bytes long packets. this is called a transport stream, which goes to a modulator, which adds error correction bytes.

I am not sure if there are cheap solutions on the market to encode at "real time", but you can play a transport stream from your computer to Dectec, then use DVB modulator to get RF.
