Bin Column Information

The following list describes the contents of the various Bin columns. Many Bin columns
change their display style to match the settings of the dominant ruler (such as drop frame,
non-drop frame, and so on). Much of this information can also be seen in the Details tab.
For more information about the iXML metadata specification, see the iXML website at
