Introduction to the LEADTOOLS MPEG-2 Transport Module

The LEADTOOLS MPEG-2 Transport Module enhances the LEADTOOLS Multimedia toolkit by adding functionality for playing and creating MPEG-2 Transport and MPEG-2 Program Files and Streams. These streams are used by satellite broadcast systems and by UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). You can also stream data from a RTSP server.

For applications such as satellites and UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), the LEADTOOLS MPEG-2 Transport Module supports the creation ( ILMKlvBuilder Interface) and parsing ( ILMKlvParser Interface) of any KLV data to create implementations of specifications such as:

• UAV Datalink Local Metadata Set (MISB STD 0601.4 4 March 2010 and MISB STD 0902.1 9 June 2010)

• Predator UAV Basic Universal Metadata Set (MISB EG 0104.4 14 December 2006)

Obtaining release versions of the MPEG-2 Transport Module Components

You need to unlock the LEADTOOLS MPEG-2 Transport module to use the above filters in RELEASE mode. For more information, refer to Evaluation Mechanism Overview

You can develop and perform testing with the development-only editions of the components, codecs and filters contained in this product. Development-only editions of the codecs display either "LEAD Encoder" or "LEAD Decoder" in the video stream The portion of the file holding the video data. The video data might be compressed to save disk space. The data has to be decompressed using a video decompressor before you can play (see) it.. Development-only editions of the filters and components display a licensing dialog from time to time while the program is running. The development-only editions do not expire but may not be used in a production environment under your license.

In order to deploy the MPEG-2 Transport Module specialized components, you must sign the duplication and distribution license and return it to LEAD. You will be provided with unlock instructions to the release versions of any of these filters or codecs which you wish to license when you have signed the appropriate duplication and distribution license. These release editions will not display a licensing dialog box or LEAD text on the video stream. If you have any questions concerning licensing the codecs/filters, you can contact LEAD licensing at licensing@leadtools.com.
