2.2.2 File Packages
This view draws the list of all the packages included in the file. You may find two types of
packages in an MXF file:

Output (Material) Package: A material package represents an output of the file. This
is a set of tracks built as a combination of the source packages. Most MXF files
contain a single output, however highest operational patterns (Op1-2-3c) allow
several output packages.

Source Package: A source package represents the audiovisual material of the file.
This is a set of tracks referring to the video, audio or data embedded in the file. It
contains detailed information on the media.
Additionally, MXF provides mechanisms for timecode and descriptive metadata
annotation of packages. OpenCube MXFTk® Front-End main window lets you visualize
this information.
Clicking on a package will display its content in the main window. Furthermore, this
version of OpenCube MXFTk® Front-End lets you manipulate and modify the packages
at will. In order to redefine the timecode or update the metadata tracks of a package you
can click on Edit Package (refer to the chapter Package Timecode and Metadata
Edition for a complete overview of this feature).
