You can configure the Makito X1 to capture metadata from a user definable network port (up to eight UDP inputs). 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 (1.3 2) CoT/UDP with SPI Message Filtering Based on UID).
You must specify the UDP port on which the Makito X1 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.
