Metadata Settings
The following tables list the encoder Metadata controls and settings:
HD-SDI or ST-2110 Sources
Metadata Setting | Default | Description/Values |
|---|---|---|
Metadata Source Name | ||
Name | n/a | Enter a unique name for the source. |
Input | BNC-1 | (Default systems with Personality set to SDI) Select the Input port for the metadata source.
|
| 1 | (ST 2110 input only) Select the Video Input essence for the metadata source.
| |
Decimation Settings | ||
Decimation | None | (Optional) For KLV over SDI metadata input, the ingested KLV messages can be frame-decimated to reduce the bandwidth used by the metadata service. Select either the decimation factor or a reference encoder to match its video frame rate.
|
| UAS KLV Tag Filtering (See UAS KLV Tag Filtering) | ||
| UAS KLV Tag Filtering | off | Specifies a list of tag numbers/labels from the UAS Datalink Local Set that are allowed to be streamed. Tags not included in this list will be discarded. Select either:
|
| UAS KLV Security Tag Filtering | off | Specifies a list of tag numbers/labels from the Security Local Data set inside the UAS that are allowed to be streamed. Tags not included will be discarded. Select either:
Tip #48 must be included under UAS KLV Tag Filtering. |

| Mission ID Insertion | n/a | Enter a string of up to 127 characters. |
| Security Data Set Insertion | off | (KLV input only) When set to On, enables reclassification of received UAS KLV messages. on,off |
| Security Classification | unclassified | Specifies the classification of the security data set. Select either:
|
| Country Coding Method | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 | Specifies the use of 3-letter country codes. |
| Classifying Country | n/a | The ISO 3166-1 3-letter code for the classifying country. |
| Object Country Codes | n/a | The ISO 3166-1 3-letter code(s) for up to six object countries separated by semicolons. |
Network Sources
Metadata Setting | Default | Description/Values |
|---|---|---|
Metadata Source Name | ||
Name | n/a | Enter a unique name for the source. |
| Input Settings | ||
| Data Format | KLV | Select the data format for the metadata.
|
| Max AirCraft-SPI Delta | 0 ms | (CoT only) Specifies the maximum delta between SPI and Aircraft message timestamps for them to be considered a valid pair that can be converted to KLV. 0...1000 ms Note Only available if CoT has been installed. |
| Sensor Discovery | Disabled | (CoT input only) Check this checkbox to enable discovery of SPI UIDs that will be shown in the SPI UID field below and can then be potentially used as the SPI UID for SPI message filtering. |
| SPI UID | n/a | (CoT input only) Double-click the text box to display the list of the SPI messages detected by the Makito Xand select a string for the UID filter. |
Network Settings | ||
| IP 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 Makito X that is receiving the packets. |
| CoT Relaying (See CoT Relaying) | ||
| CoT Relaying | off | When set to On, the system will retransmit received CoT/UDP or CoT/Serial metadata to up to 8 other hosts over UDP. See CoT Relaying for details of adding a relay host. |
| +Relay | 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. |
| 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. 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. |
| KLV Insertion (See Mission ID/Security Data Set Insertion) | ||
| Mission ID Insertion | n/a | Enter a string of up to 127 characters. |
| Security Data Set Insertion | off | (KLV input only) When set to On, enables reclassification of received UAS KLV messages. on,off |
| Security Classification | unclassified | Specifies the classification of the security data set. Select either:
|
| Country Coding Method | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 | Specifies the use of 3-letter country codes. |
| Classifying Country | n/a | The ISO 3166-1 3-letter code for the classifying country. |
| Object Country Codes | n/a | The ISO 3166-1 3-letter code(s) for up to six object countries separated by semicolons. |
