Haivision Systems  has launched its Haivision Play ISR.  The free desktop video player was designed specifically for defense and ISR professionals. Haivision Play ISR prioritizes low-latency playback of live video with KLV metadata, while enabling users to see events unfolding in real-time with metadata providing more awareness than just video alone. The geospatial information contained within KLV-formatted MISB/STANAG metadata provides the crucial context needed for a more complete understanding of mission-critical situations.

“Playback of low latency video alongside KLV metadata in a free, easy-to-use desktop application, empowers Play ISR users with the real-time situational awareness they need to make faster, more informed decisions in the field,” said John Leipper, defense product manager, Haivision. “This combination of features is unmatched in the market and underscores Haivision's commitment to supporting the work of defense and ISR teams."
