CoT/UDP with SPI Message Filtering Based on UID
The Makito
X accepts raw CoT metadata over UDP (no SerialID wrapper) and filters the
SPI (Sensor Point of Interest) messages based on a user-supplied string. If the string appears
in the SPI message, then it is passed through and combined with the platform message
before conversion to KLV. This allows platforms that generate multiple SPI messages to
filter out unwanted incoming messages.
If the UDP port is receiving CoT, you may specify a UID filter string. If the string is present
in a SPI message UID field, then the message is passed. Otherwise the message is
discarded. (The format of the SPI UID filter string is a text string containing alphanumeric
characters.)
In order to avoid input errors for the SPI filter string, the Makito
X collects a list of the
received SPI messages. You can then select a string from this list for the UID filter string.
Platform and filtered SPI messages will be converted to KLV. Only a single SPI message
is supported. The KLV (converted from CoT/UDP) is multiplexed into the MPEG-2 TS
stream.
The Makito
X supports multiplexing of metadata sources. The CoT SPI filtering applies to
the CoT/UDP and CoT/Serial services.
