Metadata can be used for on-air presentation or to trigger Events. To work with metadata, import the
relevant metadata definitions from Cobalt Asset Manager or TX/MAM first.

file on your workstation:
 In Cobalt, open the Asset Manager.
 On the main menu, click Settings > Manage Assets.
The Manage Asset Type Window opens.
 Select the relevant Asset type in the list and click Properties.
 The Edit Asset Type Window opens.
 You can now copy the xml-definition to a simple text editor or xml-editor on your workstation.
Save the file with the extension .xml on your workstation.
