KLV Streamer Manual

KLV Streamer is an application for re-streaming STANAG 4609 transport streams over IP networks. It is designed for operators and developers who need to rebroadcast a playlist of CBR or VBR STANAG and TS files over unicast or multicast UDP, preview the resulting stream, inspect KLV metadata, and analyze transport-stream behavior while streaming.

The application is built on top of ImpleoTV's STANAG Streamer .NET SDK.

Main Features

• Re-broadcast STANAG 4609 files over UDP using configurable NIC, IP, and port settings.
• Build and run playlists of CBR or VBR TS files.
• Stream to unicast or multicast targets.
• Use random access and adjustable playback speed from $\frac116$ to $16\times$.
• Preview the output stream while it is being generated.
• Display KLV metadata during preview.
• Monitor live transport-stream and metadata statistics.
• Support MPEG-TS streams carrying MPEG-2 or H.264 video with MISB 0601 metadata.
• Select among multiple KLV PIDs for preview.
• Plot bitrate over time.
• Detect PCR discontinuities.

• Streaming Workflow: playlist setup, target configuration, preview setup, and PID selection.
• Bitrate Analysis: bitrate charts and PCR discontinuity behavior.
• STANAG 4609 In TS: the legacy technical reference on asynchronous and synchronous metadata carriage.
• Supported MISB Tags: supported MISB 0601 reference table.
• Activation: license requirements for removing demo limits.

Prerequisite

The legacy manual notes that KLV Streamer relies on the default MPEG-2 and H.264 DirectShow decoders available on the system. If preview is required, make sure the relevant decoder is installed.
