Makito FX Encoder

Network Metadata Sources

You can configure the Makito FX to capture metadata from a user definable network port. The encoder can receive either (a) KLV payload encapsulated in UDP or (b) CoT inside UDP that is converted to KLV and then streamed (see (1.1) CoT/UDP with SPI Message Filtering Based on UID).

You must specify the UDP port on which the Makito FX will listen for incoming metadata. However, the IP Address is only required for reception of multicast metadata, or if you only want to accept messages coming from a specific sender.

To add a network metadata source:

  1. From the Metadata List View, click the Add Metadata button.

  2. On the Add Metadata panel, type in a name, and select Network for the Metadata Type.
