Stream recaster

StanagProcessor's Stream Recaster Mode enables users to handle real-time media streams by either recasting them as-is or transcoding video/audio elements while adding KLV metadata. Recaster mode is essential for adapting streams to the STANAG 4609 standard, which integrates metadata for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) purposes.

Use Cases

  • Recasting: Ideal for distributing unaltered streams across multiple endpoints.
  • Transcoding: Perfect for adapting streams for different devices, bandwidths, or formats.
  • STANAG 4609 Compliance: Enables streams to carry ISR-related metadata, essential for military and defense applications.

Stream Recasting (Pass-through Mode):

Recaster

  • Recasts streams without modifying the media content.
  • Suitable when maintaining original media fidelity is crucial.
  • Ensures low latency and resource-efficient streaming.

KLV Metadata Insertion:

Klv Injector

  • Injects MISB 601 metadata (wrpped into Key-Length-Value (KLV) format) into transport streams.
  • Ensures compliance with the STANAG 4609 standard, widely used in ISR applications.

Stream Transcoding:

Stream transcoding

Transcodes video/audio elementary streams to adjust encoding parameters:

  • Codec: Change from one codec (e.g., H.264) to another (e.g., H.265).
  • Resolution: Modify resolution for varying bandwidth or device compatibility.
  • Bitrate: Adapt bitrate based on network conditions or desired quality.
  • Other parameters (frame rate, GOP structure, etc).

Allows for real-time changes to stream characteristics, enhancing flexibility.
