Introduction
STANAG Player/Recorder .NET SDK is an "ITAR-free" library that provides STANAG TS stream/file playback, capture, decoding and KLV extraction functionality. Used in both military and civilian applications, this .Net library allows developers to create multi-channel applications that receive, play back and record streaming video coming from UAV platforms, extract the telemetry metadata (KLV format, for example, EG 0601.X) process it in real time or archive for later retrieval and processing. The SDK has a rich feature set that can be easily customized, providing a robust and very cost effective solution for any STANAG 4609 related development project.
Main features:
- STANAG 4609 network stream (TS over UDP and TS over RTP) playback (configurable Nic/IP/Port).
- STANAG 4609 file playback.
- STANAG 4609 VOD playback (RTSP, including trick mode** - Seek, Reverse, Fast Forward).
- MPEG TS (MPEG2/H.264 payload + MISB 0601.X metadata) support.
- On-the-fly metadata transcoding from EG0104.5 to MISB 0601.5.
- Real-time and off-line applications.
- Demultiplexes, decodes and renders video using default decoder and VMR present in the system.
- Uses default or custom MPEG2/H.264 Direct Show decoder installed on the computer.
- Raw (uncompressed) video frames and KLV data buffer callbacks.
- Decodes KLV PES payload and provides metadata packets as a list of KLV triplets (with optional PTS timestamp).
- Records incoming stream into file* (segmentation according to the size/duration).
- Video snapshots.
- Impersonate Mode support (for code execution under another user context, used for Windows service development).
- C# sample code (Console, Winforms and WPF).
- "ITAR-free"

**Server support required
IKlpPlayer interface
KlvPlayer.Net SDK exposes KlvPlayer::IKlvPlayer interface (Main SDK interface)
KlvPlayerLib.NET SDK provides examples with complete source code to help you get started using the SDK for STANAG File/Stream playback and recording.
Here is a brief example of usage the KlvPlayerLib.NET for some basic tasks.

For more details on STANAG 4609 / TS stream and KLV metadata please see STANAG 4609 and KLV metadata in TS
Supported LDS Keys
Please see MISB 0601 supported keys for more info on supported Keys
0601 Keys Configuration File
There is an option to enable/disable some of the 0601 Keys processing, so only those application is interested in will be parsed. See MISB 0601 Key Configuration File for more details
