Metadata Handling
Metadata is user-defined data indicating
when, where, or by whom material was
created. The Unique Material IDentifier
(UMID) has been standardised by the Society
of Motion Picture and Television Engineers
(SMPTE)* and is a globally unique identifier
used for the identification of picture/audio
material and data.
HDW-2000 Series VTRs provide the facility
to generate and record UMID data on tape
during dubbing, editing and up and down-
conversion. Recorded UMIDs can sub-
sequently be used in editing, archiving and
distribution, to increase production efficiency
throughout the programme production chain.
The HDW-2000 Series VTRs can record up to
255 bytes x 3 packets of metadata per field,
which can be transferred to other devices via
HD-SDI or SDTI.
* The UMID standard is SMPTE-330M
