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.
