# NextVision Video Player

{% hint style="info" %}
The videos recorded with the Raptor 360 and Nighthawk2 include KLV metadata. **KLV (Key-Length-Value)** is a metadata encoding standard used in video recordings to embed structured information, such as timestamps, geographic location, and camera parameters, alongside the video content for better analysis and interoperability.
{% endhint %}

The video's metadata can be accessed via the NextVision Video Player. Follow the link below to download and install the player.
