SMPTE RP 2057:2011

This document defines how to carry text-based metadata with a specified text MIME type encoded using either Unicode UTF-8 or UTF-16 character encoding (such as XML) in a MXF file. This standard defines two methods of text-based metadata carriage. The first method is to carry text-based metadata using the MXF Generic Stream Partition defined in SMPTE ST 410. The second method is to carry it in the MXF Header Metadata by defining a DM Framework which includes Text-based Sets.

This document specifies the Generic Stream Partition Pack for several text-based metadata formats including the KLV coding of the Generic Stream Data Element, and DM Schemes including DM Framework, Sets and Items for text-based metadata.
