Metadata Fields
Four columns are accessible for defining, editing and exporting Metadata:
Name: The key name of the metadata, identifies this metadata, consists of a freely defin-
able string of characters.
BWF Mapping: A list of fields available in the BEXT header or in the LIST-INFO chunk. Any Meta-
data Value can be mapped/written to when a file is rendered in BWF format. These
fields are:
Database Mapping This field is for Database Mapping information that is exported in the XML so that a
database parsing the XML can map this Metadata with specific Database fields.
These values are free text.
A set of predefined values can be set in the registry in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Merging Technologies\Pyramix\Archiving-
MetaData\DatabaseMapping
as String entries where the names of the strings are the preset values for database
mapping values.
Value: The actual Value, or useful content of the metadata, consists of a freely definable
string of characters.
• Below the Metadata list columns, the Advanced Value Editing text field enables multiple lines of text to
be edited for the selected Metadata.
Note: The Update Value button must be clicked to save the edited data.
• The Metadata Set currently defined in the MetaData Tab is simply saved in the current project.
Render with Archiving
In the Render dialog window (accessible through the menu Project > Render) a new Archiving Metadata sec-
tion has been added, offering two options:
Insert Archiving Metadata if target is BWF
This will insert all Metadata entries defined in the current Metadata Tab that have a BWF Mapping field set cor-
rectly into the corresponding field of the generated BWF file.
Only the Metadata Value field content is inserted in the file fields/chunks. The Metadata Name information is not
inserted in the target file, this is only present for information in the application during editing and rendering.
