SMPTE 383M – Television – Material Exchange Format (MXF) – Mapping DV-DIF Data to the MXF Generic Container (Standard) (Revision of SMPTE 383M-2004)

This standard specifies the mapping of DV-DIF (digital interface format) data to an MXF generic container,which is suitable for the application of all variants of the DV specifications as defined by IEC 61834-2, SMPTE314M and SMPTE 370M. This standard defines a SMPTE Universal Label that can be used to uniquelyidentify specific DV variants.

The MXF specification is written in several parts. This is one of a set of documents that define the contents ofthe MXF file body.

In order to achieve interoperability within any given operational pattern, restrictions may be placed on the wayin which this generic container type can be implemented. The reader is advised to carefully study theappropriate operational pattern document before implementation.
