MXF and metadata company Metaglue Corporation has announced the introduction of two MXF viewers in time for IBC 2010 - masterView for broadcast and postView for post.

masterView is an MXF player Metaglue has developed with significant input from its broadcast customer base. masterView is Windows based, has real time display of MXF files, MPEG2, H.264, AS- 03 and RDD9 and provides an “at a glance” check of video, audio, timecode, waveform and subtitles on a single screen and has standard transport controls. It also displays the slate information that is wrapped in the MXF file.

To accompany the broadcast player Metaglue has introduced an MXF player for the Linux platform aimed at its post production clients. postView will allow the user to easily check Avid DNxHD® content plus MXF files and provides a direct link to Avid media bays in Unity®. postView will be available in Q4 2010.

Metaglue CEO Oliver Morgan comments “Our clients want to perform quick spot checks on captions and other vertical interval metadata and they told us they wanted a simple and low cost way of doing it. masterView and postView solve this problem and many others at a price point of $500 each. masterView for example displays HD 608 and 708 captions, along with the control codes and captions service descriptors, AFD and Vchip information.

This information is displayed alongside the picture on a single screen and the operator has random access into the MXF files and sync playback of picture, sound and metadata." (i.e. playback.)
