Broadcast WAV Extension Metadata
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
A WAV file produced to Broadcast-WAV specifications will have the broadcast metadata extension,
|
|
which includes a 256-character free text descrption, creating entity identifier (usually the
|
|
recording application or equipment), the date and time of recording and a time reference for
|
|
timecode synchronization.
|
|
|
|
The :py:attr:`coding_history<wavinfo.wave_bext_reader.WavBextReader.coding_history>`
|
|
is designed to contain a record of every conversion performed on the audio file.
|
|
|
|
In this example (from a Sound Devices 702T) the bext metadata contains scene/take slating
|
|
information in the :py:attr:`description<wavinfo.wave_bext_reader.WavBextReader.description>`.
|
|
Here also the :py:attr:`originator_ref<wavinfo.wave_bext_reader.WavBextReader.originator_ref>`
|
|
is a serial number conforming to EBU Rec 99.
|
|
|
|
If the bext metadata conforms to `EBU 3285 v1`_, it will contain the WAV's 32 or 64 byte `SMPTE
|
|
ST 330 UMID`_. The 32-byte version of the UMID is usually just a random number, while the 64-byte
|
|
UMID will also have information on the recording date and time, recording equipment and entity,
|
|
and geolocation data.
|
|
|
|
If the bext metadata conforms to `EBU 3285 v2`_, it will hold precomputed program loudness values
|
|
as described by `EBU Rec 128`_.
