4、 SMPTE ST 385:2012 Revision of SMPTE 385M-2004 SMPTE STANDARD Material Exchange Format (MXF) Mapping SDTI-CP Essence and Metadata into the MXF Generic Container SMPTE ST 385:2012 Page 2 of 16 pages Foreword SMPTE (the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) is an internationally-recogniz
5、ed standards developing organization. Headquartered and incorporated in the United States of America, SMPTE has members in over 80 countries on six continents. SMPTEs Engineering Documents, including Standards, Recommended Practices, and Engineering Guidelines, are prepared by SMPTEs Technology Comm
6、ittees. Participation in these Committees is open to all with a bona fide interest in their work. SMPTE cooperates closely with other standards-developing organizations, including ISO, IEC and ITU. SMPTE Engineering Documents are drafted in accordance with the rules given in Part XIII of its Operati
7、ons Manual. SMPTE ST 385 was prepared by Technology Committee 31FS. Intellectual Property At the time of publication no notice had been received by SMPTE claiming patent rights essential to the implementation of this Standard. However, attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements
8、of this document may be the subject of patent rights. SMPTE shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Introduction This section is entirely informative and does not form an integral part of this Engineering Document. The MXF Generic Container is a stream-able data
9、container structure that can be placed on any suitable transport and potentially stored. The concept of this container was based on the work done by the EBU/SMPTE Task Force in the Wrappers and Metadata subgroup. In March 1998, a SMPTE ad-hoc group was formed to study the Content Package (CP) format
10、 based on an initial strawman proposal. The CP format was developed from the ground up to carry picture, sound and data essence together with metadata in a structured manner primarily over the SDTI (SMPTE ST 305) transport and is known as SDTI-CP. SDTI-CP comprises two SMPTE engineering documents: S
11、MPTE ST 326 (SDTI-CP format) which defines the container format as applied to the SDTI; and SMPTE ST 331 (SDTI-CP element and metadata definitions) which defines the data that can be placed into the SDTI-CP container. The MXF Generic Container is an abstraction of the CP data structure that can be m
12、ade fully compatible with SDTI-CP by using the System Item data defined in this standard together with the appropriate essence mapping document where it is compliant to SMPTE ST 331. This standard specifies a version of the System Item in the MXF Generic Container that is compatible with SMPTE ST 32
13、6 noting that Auxiliary Items and elements in SMPTE ST 326 are synonymous with data items and elements in the MXF Generic Container. This standard also specifies how to map SMPTE ST 331 SDTI-CP elements and items into the MXF Generic Container. Note that in tables within this standard, some properti
14、es are SMPTE Universal Labels (ULs). A list of appropriate values for these properties is provided in SMPTE RP 224. SMPTE ST 385:2012 Page 3 of 16 pages 1 Scope This standard specifies the mapping of essence and metadata conforming to SMPTE ST 326 to the MXF Generic Container. The MXF Generic Contai
15、ner is the native Essence Container for use in an MXF file body. This standard specifies an SDTI-CP compatible System Item as a sequence of metadata elements in the MXF Generic Container. The standard then describes how the SDTI-CP System Item, conforming to SMPTE ST 326, can be mapped into the SDTI
16、-CP compatible System Item of the MXF Generic Container as defined by both SMPTE ST 379-1 and SMPTE ST 379-2. This standard also specifies how SDTI-CP picture, sound and Auxiliary Items conforming to SMPTE ST 326 can be mapped into the MXF Generic Container. This includes mapping of SDTI-CP elements
17、 conforming to SMPTE ST 326. Where required, this standard also defines how the MXF Generic Container containing the appropriate metadata and Essence Elements can be mapped into SMPTE ST 326. 2 Conformance Notation Normative text is text that describes elements of the design that are indispensable o
18、r contains the conformance language keywords: “shall“, “should“, or “may“. Informative text is text that is potentially helpful to the user, but not indispensable, and can be removed, changed, or added editorially without affecting interoperability. Informative text does not contain any conformance
19、keywords. All text in this document is, by default, normative, except: the Introduction, any section explicitly labeled as “Informative“ or individual paragraphs that start with “Note:” The keywords “shall“ and “shall not“ indicate requirements strictly to be followed in order to conform to the docu
20、ment and from which no deviation is permitted. The keywords, “should“ and “should not“ indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others; or that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required; or tha
21、t (in the negative form) a certain possibility or course of action is deprecated but not prohibited. The keywords “may“ and “need not“ indicate courses of action permissible within the limits of the document. The keyword “reserved” indicates a provision that is not defined at this time, shall not be
22、 used, and may be defined in the future. The keyword “forbidden” indicates “reserved” and in addition indicates that the provision will never be defined in the future. A conformant implementation according to this document is one that includes all mandatory provisions (“shall“) and, if implemented,
23、all recommended provisions (“should“) as described. A conformant implementation need not implement optional provisions (“may“) and need not implement them as described. Unless otherwise specified, the order of precedence of the types of normative information in this document shall be as follows: Nor
24、mative prose shall be the authoritative definition; Tables shall be next; followed by formal languages; then figures; and then any other language forms. 3 Normative References Note: All references in this document to other SMPTE documents use the current numbering style (e.g. SMPTE ST 326:2000) alth
25、ough, during a transitional phase, the document as published (printed or PDF) may bear an older designation (such as SMPTE 326M-2000). Documents with the same root number (e.g. 326) and publication year (e.g. 2000) are functionally identical. SMPTE ST 385:2012 Page 4 of 16 pages The following standa

31、h describes the operation of the Content Package in various modes and provides key metadata items related to the whole package. It can include metadata linked to Essence Elements in the picture, sound and data items. Finally, the SDTI-CP compatible System Item includes an optional downstream control
32、 element for future possible extension. This section defines the data structure of the SDTI-CP compatible System Item. The SDTI-CP compatible System Item shall be a combination of fixed-length pack data and local set data elements, KLV coded according to SMPTE ST 336. Throughout the remainder of thi
33、s document, the SDTI-CP compatible System Item will be called simply the “System Item”. 5.1 System Item Elements The System Item shall be coded as a sequence of up to six KLV packets where each packet comprises metadata elements for different aspects of the Content Package.

35、data Set Data Metadata Set Control Data Set System Metadata Pack System Item Figure 1 Elements of the SDTI-CP compatible System Item This System Item shall be divided into the following elements according to Figure 1: A System Metadata pack comprising a first 7 bytes and up to 50 further bytes (as d
36、efined by the first byte of the pack). A package metadata set that provides metadata for all Essence Elements in the Content Package. A picture metadata set that provides metadata for any Essence Element in the Picture Item. The set includes identification to link the metadata item to a specific Ess
37、ence Element in the Picture Item. A sound metadata set that provides metadata for any Essence Element in the Sound Item. The set includes identification to link the metadata items to a specific Essence Element in the Sound Item. A data metadata set that provides metadata for any Essence Element in t
38、he data item. The set includes identification to link the metadata items to a specific Essence Element in the data item. A control data set comprising of only one data item that defines a downstream control element for the Content Package. Where the System Metadata pack is present in the MXF Generic
39、 Container it shall be the first KLV packet in every Content Package. As defined in SMPTE ST 326, the Content Package metadata set immediately follows the System Metadata pack. If there are no items of Content Package metadata, then the length field of the packet shall be zero. Also per SMPTE ST 326
40、, the possible presence of each of the picture, sound and data metadata sets and the control data set is determined by bits b3 to b0 of the first byte of the System Metadata pack. Where present, the order of the picture, sound and data metadata sets shall be the same as the order of the picture, sou
41、nd and data items in the MXF Generic Container. Where present, the control data set shall be the last KLV packet of this System Item. There shall be a maximum of one system, package, picture, sound, data or control set/pack in any CP-compatible System Item. 5.2 System Metadata Pack Figure 2 illustra
