Configuring Metadata Capture
NOTE
Metadata Capture is an optional feature which may be installed at the factory or
via a field upgrade by installing a license file.
From the Metadata pages, you can configure the Makito X to capture either KLV (Key
Length Value) or CoT (Cursor on Target) metadata and then incorporate data information
within the metadata elementary stream of the standard MPEG Transport Stream.
You can set up multiple metadata inputs to include in Transport Streams. The Makito X
supports up to three metadata input types: either from the COM1 serial port, the HD-SDI
interface, or a user definable network port (up to eight UDP inputs). The first two apply on
the Makito X SDI only.
•
Serial port:
The Makito X SDI extracts either KLV or CoT metadata packets from the
serial port. From the Metadata Detail View, you must specify the Data Format , and for
CoT metadata, the Max AirCraft-SPI Delta .
•
SDI:
The Makito X SDI extracts KLV metadata packets from the HD-SDI interface as
per MISB RP 0605.2. Only progressive scan formats are supported (i.e., 1280x720p
and 1920x1080p). The Makito X can capture only 1024 bytes of KLV metadata per
video frame.
•
Network:
The Makito X can receive either (a) KLV payload encapsulated in UDP or
(b) CoT inside UDP that is converted to KLV and then streamed (see “CoT/UDP with
SPI Message Filtering Based on UID” on page 107). You must specify the UDP port
on which the Makito X will listen for incoming metadata. The IP Address is only
required for reception of multicast metadata, or if you only want to accept messages
coming from a specific sender.
The Makito X auto-detects the hardware setup of the encoder. If the serial port or SDI video
is connected, the serial or SDI metadata source is created automatically at startup by the
system. For Serial input, the COM Port Mode must also be set to Metadata (see
“Mode” on
page 192). UDP sources must be manually created by the user. The Makito X supports
insertion of multiple metadata sources into the same KLV Elementary Stream.
The Makito X supports both synchronous and asynchronous KLV metadata stream
signaling and AU (Access Unit) transport support. When configuring a stream, you can
select the encapsulation type to use for the associated KLV metadata source. For technical
specifications, see
“Asynchronous KLV Metadata Support” on page 380.
CoT/UDP and CoT/Serial metadata sources can also be retransmitted to other IP destina-
tions. For more information, see
“Configuring CoT Retransmission” on page 112.
You can define a small set of static KLV objects (i.e., mission IDs and security classifica-
tion) for KLV and CoT metadata sources. For more information, see
“Configuring KLV
Metadata Insertion” on page 114.
