Metadata

For the MR-HD100 this involves:

2.Record video.

During recording, use the MR-HD100's web server interface and template to log predefined or dynamically input metadata values.

3.Playback video.

4.During playback, use the MR-HD100's web server interface and template to log predefined or dynamically input metadata values.

Post-production

The post production phase includes exporting logged metadata that is stored in the MR-HD100 database into a format that can be used with an NLE or ProxSys Media Asset Management system along with the recorded content.

For the MR-HD100 this involves:

5.Export metadata from MR-HD100 database to xml file.

Export metadata from the MR-HD100 database to an xml file using either the AUTO ORG function -- automatically exports an xml file based on the current templates and logged metadata -- or the manual metadata export function in the MR-HD100's web interface. During export, it is possible to determine the type of export file to create: compatible with a particular NLE or project on a ProxSys media server.

6.Import the xml file into a NLE or ProxSys Media Server.

Use the NLE or ProxSys Media Server interface to import the xml file into the application. In either case, NLE or ProxSys system, it is only necessary to import the xml file.

During the import process, the application locates and identifies all video clips associated with the xml file and imports them too. In addition, the metadata logged during recording or playback is added to the video clip(s). The metadata is now viewable and searchable with links to the video content in the NLE or ProxSys
