MXF OP1a Output
The MXF container encodes the media and produces an MXF Operational Pattern 1a
(OP-1a, SMPTE 379M-2004) file with a generic container mapped to Lightspeed Live
Capture's available video essences.
Note:
Most Lightspeed Live Tape Capture MXF files containing IMX, XDCAM or AVC-
Intra are created in such a way that they can be opened for editing/playing (in Adobe
Premiere Pro CC, Telestream Switch and other media applications) while they are still
growing during capture. Check with your edit/player application software
documentation for further details on supported formats.
Note:
Controls with a green Browse button may be bound to a variable to
dynamically assign their setting or value. The variable must have a value when this
action executes. You can assign the value to the variable in a previous action in the
workflow or use the variable's default value. Click Browse to select the variable or
create a new one.
Select the container to display its settings in the configuration panel on the right.
