)

PID assigned to the KLV stream in the TS stream

KLV Bitrate

100 – 1M

Expected bit rate of the KLV stream.

KLV Mode

SDI

FILE

Sets the source type for the KLV stream currently
only and SDI source or a binary file containing KLV
data are the only valid sources.

KLV Source

/dev/gv7601.0

Location of KLV source this will be a character
