Creating a VANC packet

Creating a VANC packet

The VANC create tool (csvanccreate.exe) is a command line tool which you can use to create
a custom ancillary data packet from a list of comma-separated values, a binary file
containing

a frame of

VANC payload, or a folder containing a sequence of binary files each

containing

a frame of VANC payload. The packet generated by the tool

can then be added to

the playlist as a secondary event.

List of available arguments:

Argument

Description

-h

--help

Displays help information. Examples:

csvanccreate.exe -h
csvanccreate.exe --help

--dump

--filename=VALUE

Displays the contents of the specified packet. Examples:

csvanccreate.exe --dump -f testAnc.vanc
csvanccreate.exe --dump --filename=testAnc.vanc

-d

--did=VALUE

Specifies the Data Identifier (DID) as a hexadecimal value. The
DID indicates the

type of the ancillary data

to which the

packet corresponds. Examples:

csvanccreate.exe -d 0x41
csvanccreate.exe -d=0x41
csvanccreate.exe --did=0x41

-s

--sdid=VALUE

Specifies the Secondary Data Identifier (SDID) as a
hexadecimal value. The SDID is used in conjunction with the
DID to indicate the type. It is only required if the DID is less
than 0x80. Examples:

csvanccreate.exe -s 0x2
csvanccreate.exe -s=0x2
csvanccreate.exe --sdid=0x2

-l

--line=VALUE

Specifies the line number as decimal value into which the
packet is inserted. Example:

csvanccreate.exe -l 21
csvanccreate.exe -l=21
csvanccreate.exe --line=21

-p

--payload=VALUE

Specifies the data as a comma-separated set of hexadecimal
or decimal values. For per frame data, use the vertical bar (|) as
a separator and enclose the value in quotes. Examples:

csvanccreate.exe -p 1,2,3,4
csvanccreate.exe -p “1,2,3,4|5,6”
csvanccreate.exe -p=1,2,3,4
csvanccreate.exe --payload=“1,2,3,4|5,6”
