Operational Convenience Metadata Handling In the HDW-2000 Series, special care has been given to metadata handling in order to increase production efficiency, and to provide the utmost convenience in media asset management systems and material distribution systems. In general, metadata consists of user-defined data indicating when, where, or by whom the material was created, Closed Caption data, and a variety of other data describing the material content. Among such metadata, UMID, as standardized in SMPTE 330M, is a globally unique identifier used for the identification of picture/audio material and data. UMID is automatically generated within compatible equipment such as VTRs and camcorders during each recording. The HDW-2000 Series VTR provides the facility to record UMID on tape when the VTR performs dubbing, editing, and copying through up-/down-conversion. This recorded UMID is used in subsequent processes from editing, archiving and on to distribution, bringing efficiency throughout the entire program production chain. The HDW-2000 Series VTRs enables up to 255 bytes x 3 packets of metadata per field to be recorded, which can be transferred to other devices via HD-SDI, or SDTI.
