Conclusions

In the studio, MXF enables reliable coding, storage, and transport of metadata in files. ANC packets can convey metadata across HD-SDI streams; however, there are no common, widely used practices concerning how metadata is handled alongside video passed through processing equipment.

Apart from MXF files and HD-SDI ANC metadata, studio equipment has no reliable metadata system.

Migration to file-based workflows enables reliable metadata processing. However, the conceptual problems of metadata (evident in my examples 0 through 5 above) remain. I suggest these guidelines for implementing metadata systems:

• Devise metadata carefully. Have clear rules for what metadata to encode, and how to interpret metadata at decoding time. Don’t be encyclopedic: “Make the system as simple as possible, but no simpler” [Einstein].

CHAPTER 18

METADATA

179

Metadata should be inessential, otherwise it would be data: Design your system to work without metadata, then add metadata as augmentation.

Strive for a design such that adding metadata never impairs the operation of the base system.

If information is already available in data, don’t duplicate it in metadata: To do so opens the possibility (at a later date) of conflicting information.

If in a particular system design it is possible for essence to be separated from its metadata, the format chosen for essence must be able to serve its purpose in the absence of metadata.
