Metadata - Focus FS-5 User Manual

Metadata is information that is attached to a content file (video,
graphic, audio, etc.) and describes some characteristic or attribute of
the content. In the cae of video, the metadata is either timecode or
video clip based. In general, there are three categories of metadata:
descriptive, administrative, and structural. The purpose if metadata is
to uniquely identify each content item, creating a data hierarchy that
can be used to search for and group content in as many useful ways
as possible.
For metadata to be useful, it must reflect the processes and
vocabulary of the organization using it.
The FS-5 Metadata utility is a web-based application that provides
the user the ability to:
• Add clip-based and timecode-based metadata to video clips
during recording or playback.
• Use a default or custom metadata entry templates.
• Export clip-based and timecode-based templates to ProxSys
Media Servers and NLE applications.
FS-5 Web server and Database Provide Metadata Functions
The FS-5 has a resident web-based Metadata application that permits
the configuring of metadata templates and metadata logging using a
simple web browser.
