Metadata Display in DrasticScope

Here is a comprehensive list of ancillary (ANC) metadata types supported in DrasticScope, grouped by purpose and annotated with the relevant standard (e.g., SMPTE, ITU-R, ARIB, etc.)

Drastic supports a wide range of ANC packet types commonly found in SDI-based broadcast systems, including both legacy and modern standards across audio, video, control, captions, and data applications. The Hex/Dec Data View provides a list of current metadata, and provides details about its status, location, and more. Selecting a data type will load its details into the real time display.
