Setting the UMID data

What is a UMID?
The UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a
unique identifier for audio-visual material
defined by the SMPTE330M-2003 standard.
The UMID may be used either as the 32-byte
Basic UMID or as the Extended UMID, which
includes an additional 32 bytes of Source Pack to
make a total 64 bytes.
For details, refer to SMPTE 330M.
Globally unique ID is automatically recorded in
clip units.
The Extended UMID is metadata that provides
additional information such as location, time/
date, company and so on.
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 230).
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
TOP
uniform control of source material recorded all
1
over the world based on the universal timecode.
• 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.
