This meta data is then available to all users of the audio file in the future. Some applications
can read or extract this meta data for further purposes, such as the administration of the
audio data in the databases.
Broadcast wave manager - List of individual fields
All values set by you referring to the project are saved and applied to new audio data.
File description: This is a freely usable text field. Enter a maximum of 256 ASCII
characters.
Originator: This field contains details on the origin of the file, e.g. the description of the
producer. Maximum of 32 characters.
Originator reference: This field is specified by the originator. This can be an internal
reference number. In the EBU range, a recommendation according to EBU R99-1999
applies to how this field should be constructed. To assign the entry of this property,
activate the "USID" option. Then you can format the entry according to EBU
recommendation. Maximum of 32 characters.
Date: The date of the file's creation is displayed, and this can be edited, for example if
audio material was saved for the first time as a file, even though the recording is somewhat
older and the date needs to be valid as a reference. If the entry is edited in the BW
manager, then a value independent of file properties results.
Time: The time at which the file was created initially is shown here. Like the date, this is
automatically created from the file properties, but can also be edited in the same way as
mentioned above.
Timestamp: The timestamp saved in the BW (broadcast wave) extension is displayed here.
This is the timecode for recording the file, which is identical with the timecode of the first
recording if the recording was synchronous. For other applications, this timestamp can
provide information on the time on the day of recording. The timestamp can be edited or
applied from the object position. You can assign the timestamp from all object positions to
the wave files.
Unique material identifier (UMID): Handling of the UMID is regulated by SMPTE. An
appropriate document is available from SMPTE. The document features the code number
SMPTE 300M-2000. We recommend that you observe this guideline as well as the
