4.5 MXF Plug-in
Figure 21: MXF plug-in settings
Operational Pattern: This parameter defines the operational pattern of the MXF file. Possible values
include:
o Op1a: This is the most commonly used pattern. It corresponds to a set of video and audio tracks
played simultaneously. This operational pattern does not impose any restrictions on the media that
can be embedded in the MXF file.
o Op1a D10: Restricted to the standard Op1a containing a video track with IMX and a single audio
track with 8-channel AES audio.
o OpAtom: This pattern corresponds to a set of atomic MXF files containing a single video or audio
track. Although the media is stored in separate MXF files, they are linked and should be decoded
together. Note that when you want to perform automatic configuration of the input or output plug-in
when working with OpAtom files, you have to select an entire set of MXF files for your
configuration to be successful.
o Panasonic P2: Use this pattern if you want to convert/produce MXF files similar to the ones that a P2
camcorder would generate. P2 format includes a DV track (IEC or SMPTE) with 2 or 4 mono AES
channels. When you select this pattern, you can also choose between a “P2 tree” and “P2 flat” mode.
The P2 tree corresponds to the Contents directory structure produced by the camcorder while P2 flat
flattens the directory structure. Note that when you perform automatic configuration of the plug-in
you only have to select the video essence file in a P2 tree; however, when working with a flat
structure you have to select the entire set of MXF files.
o Sony XDCam DV: Use this pattern if you want to convert/produce MXF files similar to the ones that
an XDCam camcorder would generate. This format includes a DV IEC track with 4 mono AES audio
tracks. It supports XDCam SxS and XDCam optical MXF files.
o Sony XDCam IMX: Use this pattern if you want to convert/produce MXF files similar to the ones
that an XDCam camcorder would generate. This format includes an IMX track and an 8-channel
AES audio track (D10). It supports XDCam SxS and XDCam optical MXF files.
