MetaRex Flow Diagram
- Sender
- The Sender wraps their metadata in a standardized container.
- A label is applied to identify the contents
- The mapper puts the container on a transport: NDI, ST 2110, email, FTP etc.
- Receiver
- The receiver takes the containers from the transport
- The unwrapper reads the label to handle the data as clocked / unclocked, text / binary
- The unwrapper extracts the metadata and may use a web service to do something automatic with the data e.g. make an overlay / transcode to the receiver’s preferred format.
- The end user now has access to, potentially, several variants of the metadata before they write their first line of code.
