MXF).

describes a timeline with clips via timecode/key-
code data of succeeding in- and outpoints. A cut

DVS system could not load from or write to the
storage in time for the performed real-time op-
eration.

with clips together with a series of operators (ef-
fects). EDLs can be created offline and passed to
