SMPTE 394M defines the System

9、Scheme 1 as a System Item for use in the MXF Generic Container. These standards provide for System Items that can carry metadata in “Frame Wrapping”, “Clip Wrapping” and other wrapping modes. This standard defines system elements and individual data items that are compatible with System Scheme 1. 5

10、Individual Data Definitions In the following tables, individual metadata items are assigned with the following local tag value ranges: 00.00h to 00.7Fh shall not be used. 00.80h to 00.FFh shall be reserved for individual metadata items defined in SMPTE 331M. 01.00h to 7F.FFh shall be reserved for in

11、dividual metadata items defined in this standard. 80.00h to FF.FFh are reserved for “dark” definitions defined elsewhere, either privately, or publicly. Such definitions are beyond the scope of this standard. 5.1 CP-Compatible Individual Data Definitions Table 1 defines the individual metadata or co

12、ntrol data items that are compatible with SMPTE 326M. The table defines a unique name, a data type, the length, the local tag value, the UL designator, the meaning and the standard upon which this individual data item depends. The full 16-byte SMPTE UL value defined in SMPTE RP 210 can be located fr

13、om the UL designator value.

14、e SMPTE 331M. The value of xxh is the 1-byte local tag defined in SMPTE 331M and ranges from 80h to a maximum of FFh. SMPTE 331M also defines the SMPTE UL designator where applicable. SMPTE 331M 5.2 GC System Scheme Individual Data Definitions Table 2 defines individual metadata or control data item

15、s that are compatible with the MXF generic container system schemes, but are not compatible with SMPTE 326M. The table defines a unique name, a data type, the length, the local tag value, the UL designator, the meaning and the standard upon which this individual data item depends (where applicable).

16、 The full 16-byte SMPTE UL value defined in SMPTE RP210 can be located from the UL designator value. Where required, fuller descriptions of each individual data item may be given in Table 3.

Each Video Index is a concatenation of classes 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1 and 2.2 as defined in SMPTE RP186 where each class is 3 bytes long. The CRCC bytes are not present in this data item SMPTE RP 186

24、and notes may be added to Table 3 as indicated by Table 2. SMPTE 405M-2006 Page 4 of 7 pages Table 3 Specification of Individual Data Item Descriptions Name Description Notes Content Package Index Array This item is used only for multi-frame essence wrappings, such as clip, custom or other specializ

25、ed essence wrappings. Each 11-byte value comprises the first four entries of the “NIE” as defined in SMPTE 377M, table 21 (Structure of Index Entry Array). The difference is that the first item in the array defines the offset of the key of the first essence element in this Content Package and not of

26、 the essence container as a whole. Informative Note 1: This item will be typically used in the Picture Item Descriptor and be associated with a single video track in the Content Package. Informative Note 2: This item can be used to build a full Index Table to the specification in SMPTE 377M. 5.4 Val

27、ues copied from other documents (informative) The values in Table 4 have been copied from other documents and are listed here to provide a single point where the elements compatible with System Item Scheme 1 can be referenced.

SMPTE 389M SMPTE 405M-2006 Page 5 of 7 pages Annex A (Informative) Guide to using individual data items This annex gives further guidance to the use of the individual data items d

30、efined in this standard. All individual data items specified in other documents such as SMPTE 331M and SMPTE 389M need no further explanation in this standard. A.1 Single Data Items All single-valued individual data items define a value that is consistent over the duration of the essence wrapping, w

31、hether frame, clip or custom. A.1.1 Frame Count This value can be used in both clip and custom wrappings to define the number of individual frames in the wrapping, The frame value is defined by the primary essence component in the Generic Container and the value is directly related to the SampleRate

32、 property of the associated Essence Descriptor as defined in SMPTE 377M. A.1.2 Sample Rate This value defines the sample rate of the Generic Container in which it resides. This has no purpose in a frame-wrapped Generic Container. In Clip or Custom wrapped Generic Containers, this value can be used t

33、o specify the underlying rate of the essence container and may be used to aid in-line signal operations within the byte-stream for those signal processors that cannot decode the Header Metadata. A.1.3 Essence Track Number This item provides a value that is identical to that used for linking the Head

34、er Metadata Track Number property to the essence track within the essence container. However, its scope is constrained to the Content Package and it has no relationship with the Track Number in the Header Metadata. The purpose of this value is to identify the essence track in the Content Package so

35、that subsequent metadata items in the same System Element can be linked to that specific essence track. If this data item is not present in any System Element, then all individual data items within the System Element refer to all essence elements in the named System Item type. Note that in cases whe

36、re the Essence Item comprises a single essence element, then this individual data item should not be used. A.2 Group Array Data Items Note that all group arrays are preceded with an 8-byte header that defines, respectively, the number of individual values and the length of each individual value. The

37、se arrays have the same data construct as “xxxArray” defined in SMPTE 377M. The sequence of individual data values is directly related to the sequence of essence samples and is, therefore, inherently an array. A.2.1 Time Code Array Each value in the array is of 8 bytes length and has the format and

38、byte order as defined in SMPTE 331M, section 8.2. A.2.2 Clip ID Array Each value in the array is a basic UMID of 32 bytes length and has the format and byte order as defined in SMPTE 330M. A.2.3 Extended clip ID array Each value in the array is an extended UMID of 64 bytes length and has the format

39、and byte order as defined in SMPTE 330M. SMPTE 405M-2006 Page 6 of 7 pages A.2.4 Video Index Array Each value in the array is of 15 bytes length and has the format and byte order as defined in Table 3 of this standard. Note that these 15 bytes are identical to the last section of the MPEG-2 picture

40、editing metadata defined in SMPTE 331M, section 8.5. A.2.5 Content Package Index Array Table 4 defines the format of each value in this array. This metadata is typically created along with the essence and may be created by streaming devices that are intended to provide essence for MXF files with min

41、imal latency. This metadata is specifically designed to allow for the rapid assimilation of full index tables for use in MXF files. A.3 Group Batch Certain individual metadata items are not related to the sequence of essence sample units and can be a batch of values. These batches have the same data

42、 construct as “xxxBatch” defined in SMPTE 377M. A.3.1 Essence Track Number Batch This batch allows a list of tracks to be identified for the purpose of relating the subsequent individual data items to more than one track. The application of this individual metadata item is typically in audio, where

43、it allows, for example, a group of audio track numbers in the Sound Item to be associated with a ClipID (UMID). A.4 Group Sequence A few individual metadata items are related to the sequence of essence sample units but have a variable length of metadata for each sample unit of the essence container.

44、 These items must define a separate mechanism to define the length of each value in the group. As with arrays, the order of each value in the sequence is directly linked to the order of sample units within the essence container. A.4.1 KLV Metadata Sequence This individual data item allows specialize

45、d KLV data that has been created in-line with the essence container to be closely coupled with the essence. This data is similar to the use of KLV metadata stored as VANC packets as defined by SMPTE 291M. SMPTE 405M-2006 Page 7 of 7 pages Annex B (informative) Bibliography ANSI/SMPTE 298M-1997, Tele
