Setting the UMID data

What is a UMID?

The UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a unique identifier for audio-visual material defined by the SMPTE330M-2003 standard. The UMID may be used either as the 32-byte Basic UMID or as the Extended UMID, which includes an additional 32 bytes of Source Pack to make a total 64 bytes.

For details, refer to SMPTE 330M.

Globally unique ID is automatically recorded in clip units.

The Extended UMID is metadata that provides additional information such as location, time/ date, company and so on.

Using the Extended UMID

You have to enter a country code, organization code and user code. Set the country code referring

to the ISO 3166 table, and set the organization code and user code independently.

For details, see “About UMID ownership information” (page 184).

Functions of UMID data

The UMID data enables the followings:

•Add a globally unique ID to every clip of audio- visual material. The unique ID is used to detect the material source and to link it with the original source material.

•Distinguishing between original material and copied material. 00 is added to the Instance Number for original material.

•Recording based on the UTC. The UTC is used when recording the UMID. This enables uniform control of source material recorded all over the world based on the universal timecode.

•Calculating the date difference among source materials. The source material is recorded based on the MJD (Modified Julian Date), which enables easy calculation of date difference among source materials.
