Framework code

The Framework code is intended for developers and product designers to integrate

MetaRex metarex into a product or system. The code comprises 3 parts:

1. wrapper / unwrapper - puts metadata items into the mrx container
2. inserter / extractor - maps mrx containers into a transport e.g. NDI or RTP or MXF multiplexer
3. register - interacts with the register API

Creating the framework code will be done in the following steps

1. Phase 1
   1. 2023-04 Agree the specification
   2. Create some test streams for wrap / unwrap / register testing
   3. Create an ffmpeg wrap / unwrap / register implementation
   4. Create Javascript, Golang, Python & C++ wrap / unwrap / register libraries
2. Phase 2
   1. create basic RTP network mapper
   2. create network mappers depending on resource availability
3. Phase 3 (stretch goal)
   1. Specify requirements for end-user app
   2. Create Android & iOS apps

Register code

The register is a simple web service that delivers text or json when requested. An authenticated user of the system should be able to update records that they own. A user management system is required to prevent malicious update of register entries.

The register should also be able to run in a self-proxy mode to allow for embedded register and private operations.

2023-04 A github repo will be created for the register requirements that will allow backer to triage and prioritize issues raised.
