MetaRex On Set Virtual Production

The award winning , philanthropic, non-profit MetaRex Project makes metadata flow. In the rapidly changing world of On Set Virtual Production we already have too many incompatible formats and protocols and the poor setup and data wrangling crew perform miracles on every shoot do get things stable and keep them stable until it’s time for tear down.

Play the video from the SMPTE RIS OSVP experts and hear their views on the debate between Standards & Products. We believe, like many of the points raised in the video, that products will lead the way and standards will eventually follow.

As the SMPTE Rapid Industry Solutions On Set Virtual Production project enters its publication phase and we start to see harmonized metadata schemas and new protocols appearing, there will be a need to manage the transition to this new world. MetaRex aims to provide the plumbing to allow multiple variants of the same metadata values to be managed on a single network without insanity taking over.

We’ll be showing MetaRex use-case examples for Virtual Production at NAB this year. You will be able to play with the examples online - even if you’re not at the show.

So who benefits from this?

Rexy winner MetaRex enables a generic metadata supply chain with the rigour that we are starting to develop with video and audio.
  • Content Creators can now track and convert metadata from camera to screen
  • Product Vendors can now integrate more metadata types for less initial and significantly less engineering costs
  • Data Warehousing can benefit by integrating disparate timeline metadata with the same ease as static metadata
  • Metadata Producers can benefit with greater access to more networks and file formats with no extra effort
  • Metadata Consumers can benefit by simultaneously managing and using multiple transformed variants of source metadata without increasing costs
  • The Industry can benefit by spending the money saved by MetaRex on creating rich, metadata driven workflows instead of just leaving the metadata on the floor
  • The planet might benefit if we spent microWatts of energy remembering the source metadata rather than spending kiloWatts of energy guessing what was lost by using an AI algorithm
