metadata Command Examples

Example #1: Creating a Stream with SDI Metadata

[Source ID=1]

  1. Start the SDI metadata encoder instance using the following command:

# metadata 1 start

  1. Create a stream with video, audio and metadata using the following syntax:

# stream create addr=<IPaddr> port=<UDPport> vid=0 aud=0 data=1

  1. Verify the metadata encoder stats:

# metadata 1 get all

The system will return the metadata information:

Metadata ID : 1
Name : (None)
Configuration:
Type : HD-SDI
Input : HDMI
Format : KLV
Status : STOPPED
Decimation : (None)
Reclassification : Off
Classification : UNCLASSIFIED
Classifying Country : (None)
Object Country : (None)
UAS Tag Filtering : Off
Security Filtering : Off
Statistics:
State : DISABLED
Rx Bytes : 0
Rx OK Messages : 0
Rx Corrupt Messages : 0
KLV Bitrate : 0 kbps

Example #2: Streaming with UDP Metadata

[Source ID=2]

  1. Create a UDP metadata encoder instance using the following syntax:

metadata create [addr=<IP source>] port=<dest port>

Example: 

# metadata create port=8500

The system will return the following message, including the UDP metadata ID:

Metadata source created successfully - ID: 2

  1. Start the UDP metadata encoder (if stopped) using the following syntax:

# metadata <ID> start

Example: 

# metadata 2 start

  1. Create a stream with video, audio and metadata using the following syntax:

stream create [addr=<dest IP>] port=<dest port> vid=<id>
aud=<id> data=<id>

Example (showing multiple metadata streams):

# stream create addr=10.64.1.124 port=1234 encap=ts-udp videosrc=1 audiosrc=1 datasrc=1,3

  1. Verify the metadata encoder stats using the following syntax:

# metadata <ID> get all

Example:

# metadata 2 get all

The system will return the metadata information:

Metadata ID : 2
Name : (None)
Configuration:
Type : Network
Format : KLV
Address : 0.0.0.0 (Any)|
UDP Port : 8500
 Reclassification : Off

Example #4: Configuration Information for Multiple Metadata Sources

  1. Get the metadata configuration information for the encoder using the following command:

# metadata get all

Returns configuration information for three metadata sources: (1) serial port source configured for CoT (Makito X4 Rugged only), (2) HD-SDI source configured for KLV, and (3) network source configured for KLV:

Example #5: Creating Additional HD-SDI Metadata Sources

To create an additional HD-SDI metadata source and use it in a stream:

# metadata create name="Half the KLV of first input" type=hdsdi
input=bnc1 decimation=2
Metadata source created successfully - ID: 3

# stream create addr=10.65.11.166 port=5678 vid=1 data=3
Stream created successfully - ID: 3

# stream 1 get
Stream ID : 1
Name : (None)
Configuration:
Address : 10.65.11.166
UDP Port : 5678
Encapsulation: TS-UDP
Contents : Video ("H.264 Video Encoder 1":1),
MetaData ("Half the KLV of first input":3)
