Metadata Settings

The following tables list the Kraken Metadata settings.

Input Settings

Metadata Setting	Default	Description/Values
Name	n/a	Enter a unique name for the metadata source.
Input Method	HD-SDI	Select the input interface for the source, either: Serial Video Source (HD-SDI) Network (UDP)
Serial Port	n/a	(Serial input only) Enter the serial port name if not auto-detected. For example, `/dev/ttyS0` or `/dev/ttyUSB1`.
Data Format	KLV	(Serial or Network inputs only) Select the data format for the metadata. KLV (Key Length Value) or CoT (Cursor on Target)
Max AirCraft-SPI Delta	0 ms	(CoT Serial or Network inputs only) Specifies the maximum delta between SPI and Aircraft message time-stamps for them to be considered a valid pair that can be converted to KLV. `0..1000` ms
SPI UID	n/a	(CoT Serial or Network inputs only) Double-click the text box to display the list of the SPI messages detected by Kraken and select a string for the UID filter.

CoT Relaying

Metadata Setting	Default	Description/Values
CoT Relaying (See Configuring CoT Retransmission)
CoT Relaying	Off	When set to On, the system will retransmit received CoT/UDP or CoT/Serial metadata to hosts over UDP. `on,off`
IP Address / Port	n/a	Use to specify the IP address and UDP port for each relayed packets. You can optionally specify the `ttl` and `tos`.
TTL	64	(Time-to Live for stream packets) Specifies the number of router hops that IP packets from this stream are allowed to traverse before being discarded. Range = `0..255`
ToS	0xB8	(Type of Service) Specifies the desired quality of service (QoS). This value will be assigned to the Type of Service field of the IP Header for the outgoing streams. Range = `0..255` (decimal) or `0x00..0xFF` (hex) Important A DiffServ or DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value must be converted to a ToS precedence value. For example, AF41 or DSCP 34 becomes ToS 136. For more information, see RFC2474. Note The ToS setting must be chosen so as to not interfere with Voice over IP systems and other equipment that may reside on your network. For example, when the ToS value for a stream is set to 0xB8, it can interfere with some third party Voice / IP Telephony systems.

Network Settings (UDP Input)

Metadata Setting	Default	Description/Values
Network Settings (UDP Input)
Type	Unicast	Select the stream type, either unicast or multicast.
Multicast Address	n/a	(Optional) The address is only required for reception of multicast metadata. In this case, you need to provide the multicast IP address to which the data is being sent. You can also specify the address if you only want to accept KLV messages coming from a specific sender.
Port	n/a	(Required) Specifies the local UDP port on the Kraken that is receiving the packets.

Metadata Insertion

Metadata Setting	Default	Description/Values
KLV Insertion (See Configuring KLV Metadata Insertion)
Mission ID	n/a	Enter a string of up to 127 characters.
Platform Call Sign	n/a	Users can enter a name to distinguish the particular platform or operating unit associated with the metadata source. The Platform Call Sign can be a string with up to 127 characters.
MISB 0102 Security Data Set Insertion	Off	Toggle on to enable the reclassification of received UAS KLV messages.
Security Classification	UNCLASSIFIED	Specifies the classification of the security data set: UNCLASSIFIED, RESTRICTED, CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, TOP SECRET
Classifying and Releasing Country Coding	ISO-3166 Three Letter	Specifies the certified classifying and releasing country coding method to be used within the security data set. Kraken supports the following options:
Classifying Country	n/a	The letter code for the classifying country, based on the selected Classifying and releasing County Coding.
Security-SCI/SHI Information	n/a	(Optional) For streams containing certain classified or confidential information, you can enter Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or Special Handling Instructions (SHI). SCI/SHI strings can be between 0 and 100 characters.
Caveats	n/a	(Optional) Enter caveats, also known as code words, to include in the metadata source. Caveats can be written out as plain text or abbreviated.
Releasing Instructions	n/a	(Optional) Identifies which countries the Motion Imagery data can be released to. Type in the applicable country code. When listing more than one country code, separate them by a blank space.
Classified By	n/a	(Optional) Identifies the classification authority for your metadata source. Type in the name or personal identifier of the authority you wish to use.
Derived From	n/a	(Optional) Retains information about the source from which the metadata was derived. Type in the information you wish to retain from the metadata source.
Classification Reason	n/a	(Optional) Type in the reason for classification.
Declassification Date	n/a	(Optional) Type in the date (YYYYMMDD) when the metadata information can be declassified. If the information should be classified indefinitely, leave this field blank.
Object Country Coding Method	ISO-3166 Three Letter	Select the object country coding method from the drop-down list. Kraken supports the following options:
Object Country Codes	n/a	GENC Standard Country Codes of 2 to 6 characters per code. You can specify a maximum of 6 codes, separated by a semicolon. For example, `CAN;USA` is a valid combination.
Classification Comments	n/a	(Optional) Type in classification comments to be included in the metadata. Classification comments should be used for non-essential security information.
Version	12	Type in the version number of the MISB ST 0102 being used in your metadata source.
Classifying Country Version Date	n/a	(Optional) Enter the date (YYYY-MM-DD) at which the chosen Classifying Country Version will be effective.
Object Country Version Date	n/a	(Optional) Enter the date (YYYY-MM-DD) at which the chosen Object Country Version will be effective.
