Metadata

Overview

MR-HD100 metadata logging is flexible because it can be either timecode-based or video clip-based.

Metadata Categories

There are three categories of metadata, descriptive, administrative, and structural. Some metadata, such as Project ID is not limited to one category.

Descriptive

Descriptive metadata is used to promote rapid search and recovery of content. Often it is in a form that is familiar to the greatest number of users, enterprise-wide. Descriptive metadata can include:

Name of released project.

Subject tags -- sports, medicine, history and such.

Name of videographer.

Location of recording.

Project ID.

Often, descriptive metadata values are added during recording or when transferred to the NLE. Some descriptive metadata may be added at different stages of production/post-production to indicate content status.

Administrative

Administrative metadata is video clip based and is used to manage the content within the content library and backup repository. This metadata links all content to its parent files and identifies where it may be archived. Examples of administrative metadata may include:

Library archive number.

Project ID.
