Asynchronous KLV Metadata Support

The Makito X supports Asynchronous Key-Length-Value (KLV) metadata stream signaling and AU (Access Unit) transport support (as per MISB 0604.2).

The Makito X allows users to select the encapsulation type to use for each metadata source. This provides increased flexibility with regard to systems inter-working with the Makito X.

The available encapsulation types are as follows:

• Synchronous: The Sync format is implemented in compliance with MISB 0604.2 Section 7.2.1 and ISO 13818-1 Section 2.12. Both content type signaling and data transport use this format.
• Asynchronous: The Async format is implemented in compliance with MISB 0604.2 Section 7.2.2. See also SMPTE RP 217. Both content type signaling and data transport use the Async format.
• Asynchronous With Sync AU: The AsyncWithSyncAu format uses the Async PMT and PES header signaling format as per MISB 0604.2 Section 7.2.2 and SMPTE RP 217. However, the PES payload / metadata AU is formatted in the same manner as the Sync option in compliance with ISO 13818-1 Section 2.12.

The default value for the metadata encapsulation is Synchronous.

The encapsulation type may be selected from the Web Interface (Output Streams Detail View), the CLI (stream command), or via SNMP.
