MXF Master Class 2011


All broadcasters will eventually have to migrate to an entirely file-based workflow. The question is how to do this in the smoothest and most efficient way, while ensuring interoperability between servers, workstations and other content creation devices?

One immediate approach is through using the Material eXchange Format (MXF). The EBU supports this technology and has identified an urgent need among broadcasters to expand their understanding in this field.

This Master Class enabled broadcast staff to acquire expert knowledge in MXF technology to better understand how to migrate to a file-based workflow system.
