MXFix™ (Batch Export, Re-Wrapping)
Scope
Merging’ Technologies MXFix™ batch wrapper is designed to make wrap processing of large amounts of broadcast
quality video files as simple as possible for all users in a video workflow. MXFix essentially allows for a primary user
to define a series of audio and video wrapping tasks to be performed on a specific type of video file and then asso-
ciates those tasks to a single “
Watch Folder ” (Input Folder). Multiple Watch folders may be created to fit the differ-
ent types of media in your workflow, each with their own specific wrap parameters. Once the Watch folders and
their tasks are all defined in MXFix it is then either launched to process the files currently present in all Watch fold-
ers and halts when finished or is placed in “
Continuous Watch Mode ” where it processes all files as they are
added by users at any time day or night.
Only in “ Continuous Watch Mode ” a “ Process” sub-folder is created automatically in the Watch folder, which con-
tains the source file being processed currently. After each file is successfully processed newly wrapped video files
are pushed to their respective Output Folders. The originals are either moved to a sub-folder called “
Done ” or are
erased (according to the Watch folder’s parameters). If for any reason a file does not meet the requirements to be
wrapped properly, MXFix detects the file and moves the original to a sub-folder called, “
Errors ” and continues pro-
cessing the next file in the queue.
In combination with FinalCheck and Level Magic , MXFix is a very powerful tool for processing and ensuring the
Loudness compliance of multiple files in any number of combinations. If the SurCode for Dolby E® plug-in
options are also present,, MXFix can decode and encode embedded Dolby E® audio tracks transparently as well.
MXFix is a paid for option, which requires the MXFix key to be activated in MTSecurity .
File Formats Supported
The first version of MXFix (as of version 3.2 of VCube) allows for audio and video wrapping of MXF files as well as
compatible QuickTime® MOV files and compatible AVI files.
Measure & fix loudness, fix metadata and wrap it all up with SurCode for Dolby E
MXFix fixes MXF files’ metadata as well as the content of embedded audio channels of files. For example a specific
MXF metadata correction parameter of the video aspect ratio allows for cross compatibility of files which do not
have this field properly defined by the machine that originally created them. If a series of MXF files does not dis-
play at the proper aspect ratio MXFix will fix them without degrading the original video essence at all by simply re-
wrapping the metadata fields of the MXF concerning the aspect ratio.
MXFix allows for detailed EBU R-128/ITU.1770 (ATSC) compliant loudness measurement of any audio content in
the embedded audio channels of a video file including channels that are contained within a Dolby E® encoded
audio stream through the use of Merging’s Final Check™ loudness measurement technology and the SurCode for
Dolby E® OEM plug-in.
In addition to measuring and generating a detailed loudness report file of audio present in either discrete PCM or
Dolby E encoded channels, MXFix also allows loudness levels to be corrected through the use of the Final Check
Normalizer or Jünger Audio's renowned and exclusively licensed Level Magic® Levelizer algorithm as part of the
MXFix suite in the form of a software plug-in.
MXFix re-wraps the corrected and measured audio channels to embedded audio channels as discrete 16 bit or 24
bit PCM channels (that in turn may also contain Dolby E encoded audio streams).
Tasks performed by MXFix
MXFix may perform any or all of the following tasks in combination with each other as needed in association of a
single Watch folder:
• Scan multiple video files in multiple Watch folders to determine process priority and compatibility
• Decode Dolby E audio streams to PCM (for re-wrapping or measurement) with the SurCode for Dolby E®
decoder plug-in
• Scan and correct loudness levels to user defined target values of stereo and surround channels with
Jünger Audio's Level Magic®
