1.1 MXF File Format
MXF (standing for Material eXchange Format) is a file format aiming to improve data and
metadata exchange. The targeted objective is the interoperability between content
creation mainframes, work stations and peripherals.
This wrapper file format was designed to make use of current and forthcoming data
formats. Hence, it not only allows exchange of contents in MPEG, DV or else but also
improves interoperability between editing systems. In the meantime, it also permits
conveyance of metadata following standardized schemes.
