Essential Information About the AMB Software - MXF Module
- Batch processing of audio PCM directly inside MXF containers (OP-1a and OP-Atom), without any conversion step.
- Full preservation of embedded data (metadata, timecode, video and auxiliary tracks) for a reliable post-production workflow.
- Works with AMB's Upmix and Loudness Core modules for assembly, multichannel adaptation, and level control.
- Modular and scalable architecture to speed up rendering in broadcast and cinema environments.
What the AMB - MXF Module Is For
Designed for post-production and broadcasting, this module allows processing, verification, and reinjection of PCM streams into MXF files without altering other data. Ideal for loudness, upmixing, normalization, or creating compliant deliverables, it integrates into Fairlight pipelines, audio workstations, and MAM systems with minimal file handling.
Main Features
Native PCM Processing in MXF
The module natively handles PCM encapsulated in MXF according to OP-1a and OP-Atom schemes. You modify only the audio while preserving the integrity of the container and non-audio tracks, reducing error risks and transcoding times.
Preservation of Metadata and Workflow Continuity
Embedded information remains intact: track names, timecode, markers, and critical attributes for conforming. Deliverables stay aligned with production and broadcast chain requirements.
Upmix and Loudness Core Compatibility
Combined with AMB's Upmix and Loudness Core modules, batch processing becomes a complete chain: stereo-to-multichannel conversion, level normalization, and instant rewriting within the same MXF container.
Modular and Scalable Architecture
Designed to distribute load and parallelize tasks, the architecture adapts to large volumes of files, from short deliverables to feature films, ensuring controlled rendering times.
