SMPTE 389M-2005

This document defines an MXF extension that supports reverse play for specialized applications. Devices that use serial storage, have limited memory or computing capacity may find managing full MXF index tables difficult. This extension provides reverse play capability without altering the structure of the MXF Format (SMPTE 377M) or any operating patterns (for example; SMPTE 378M). This extension was designed to be used with Operational Pattern 1a. The concept may be used with other operational patterns at the discretion of the implementers. This system element is compatible with GC system scheme 1.
