Issue 2.19.A
XFile Version 2.19 – User Manual
EVS Broadcast Equipment – November 2012
86
HD clips are displayed with 16:9 aspect ratio.
File and Clip Metadata
From XFile V.1.14, clips created on EVS video servers can be backed up in different file
formats. The backup files having different formats can be maintained in XFile.
The metadata of the EVS MXF files
is stored in the header of the MXF
file.
The metadata of backup files having
other formats needs to be stored in
a metadata XML file.
The first parameters (dark blue)
display the file parameters, the A/V
parameters given by the XNet: clip
duration, TC IN and OUT excl., ID-
material, creation date-
time, the
video standard and format, number
of video signals (SLSM = 3), number
of audio tracks, audio type and the
number of clips included in this MXF
file.
The following parameters (light-blue)
are divided by clip section. These
parameters can be different from
one clip to the other: the unique
UmID, rating, clipname,
LSM clip
number, SHORT IN and OUT points,
duration and the different keywords.
The last parameters (dark blue)
display the current values saved to
the Session C
onfiguration window.
These parameters are common for
each clip.
