Using the Extended UMID
You have to enter a country code, organization code and
user code. Set the country code referring to the ISO-3166
table, and set the organization code and user code
independently.
For details, see “About UMID ownership information”
(page 105).
Functions of UMID data
The UMID data enables the followings:
• Add a globally unique ID to every clip of audio-visual
material. The unique ID is used to detect the material
source and to link it with the original source material.
• Distinguishing between original material and copied
material. 00 is added to the Instance Number for original
material.
• Recording based on the UTC. The UTC is used when
recording the UMID. This enables uniform control of
source material recorded all over the world based on the
universal time code.
• Calculating the date difference among source materials.
The source material is recorded based on the MJD
(Modified Julian Date), which enables easy calculation
of date difference among source materials.

About UMID ownership information
COUNTRY (country code)
Enter an abbreviated alphanumeric string (4-byte
alphanumeric strings) according to the values defined in
ISO 3166-1.
There are about 240 country codes.
Find your own country code on the following home page.
Refer to ISO-3166-1:
http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso3166/iso3166-1-
en.html
When the country code is less than 4 bytes, the active part
of the code will occupy the first part of the 4-bytes and the
remainder must be filled with the space character (20h).
Example: In the case of Japan
For Japan, if the country code is JP, it is 2 bytes, if JPN, it
is 3 bytes.
Thus, enter the following:
JP_ _
or
JPN _
where _ represents a space.
ORGANIZATION (organization code)
Enter an abbreviated 4-byte alphanumeric string for the
organization code.
Notes
• Organization codes must be acquired by applying to the
SMPTE registration office.
When no organization code has been acquired, it is
forbidden to enter an arbitrary string. As a rule, the code
“00” must be entered. Freelance operators who do not
~
belong to an origination should enter “
.”
• There are no problems in recording or playing back
audio-video signals, if ORGANIZATION is not set.
USER (user code)
Enter the 4-byte alphanumeric strings for user
identification.
The user code is registered with each organization locally.
It is usually not centrally registered.
When the country code is less than 4 bytes, enter the
country code from the beginning of the 4 bytes and enter
the space character (20h) in the remaining strings.
This user code is determined by the organization. The
methods used depend on the organization.
Note
User code cannot be entered when no organization code
has been entered.
