MTX FILE INFO

01 February 2015

Take advantage of your MTX server to get and use all information contained in your media files!

MTX FileInfo is the solution that enables the use of Etere MTX servers to analyze audio/video files and retrieve all their technical and tag information.

The use of MTX FileInfo goes beyond the analysis of media information, it allows using the retrieved information to determine the codec that better matches the file (e.g. received via web), verify the correctness of the codec assigned to your files, make workflow decision based on particular media information, or simply consult your file's technical information from the Media Library.


■ File manipulation based on the MTX's technology
■ Automated workflow analysis of media files
■ Intelligent codec detection and verification
■ Wide supported data (e.g. surface, bitrate, audio, etc.)
■ Retrieved data is stored as flexi-metadata
■ Visualization from Media Library and MTX Toolbox
■ Custom workflow use for decision making
MTX FileInfo has been perfectly integrated into Etere Workflow to take decisions based on the encoding information retrieved from files, for instance:

■ Set the codec of files based on their media information
■ Verify the technical specifications of received files (e.g. from agencies or remote users)
■ Move files between storages based on their characteristics
■ And much more
Etere is able to use the information gathered by MTX FileInfo to automatically determine if the declared codec of a given file (e.g. IMX50) corresponds to its actual characteristics (e.g. Container=MXF; Bitrate=2900000; Surface=MPEGD10_422; Profile=PAL; Aspect ratio=4:3).

In order to do this, Etere allows defining multiple "mapping profiles" to allow the automatic identification of codecs, this, by comparing the mapping profiles against the file's detected information (e.g. container, bitrate, surface format, video profile, aspect ratio, etc.).
MTX Toolbox is the application that enables any user to pilot (e.g. ingest, playback) all channels available on a local or remote MTX server.

MTX Toolbox uses MTX FileInfo to get information from a particular clip on the playlist. The useful information (e.g. format, aspect ratio, frame rate, bitrate, etc.) provided on-the-fly allows operators to know which files are either acquiring or transmitting through the MTX server.
