Metadata Management

The metadata tags that are available for a specific project are set by the User/Admin with the Field in use control, see page 39. In addition, the Media Upload Utility must be configured for each project workflow. These settings are saved on the MA server.

Multiple MA Server User/Administrators and Multiple Media Uploaders

If the MA server has multiple User/Admins and each has installed their own media upload utility, then each User/Admin must setup the MA metadata and their uploader for those metadata tags that they need.

Metadata Controls

The MA server metadata controls are:

Number

Set the order in which the metadata tags appear in the metadata management window.

Name

Enter the name of the metadata tag. This name may be a standardized tag name used in a NLE or unique.

Field in use

Placing a check mark enables the metadata tag and allows it to collect metadata. Enabled fields appear in the ProxSysMA metadata column in the Media Upload Utility Configuration window.

Remember to Save Metadata Settings

Notify Users When Making Changes to Metadata Fields

A User must restart their Media Upload Utility to download changes made with the metadata management.
