4.2.2 Metadata

Control

This menu controls the source for metadata for the DP569 and what to do in the
situations where the metadata disappears.

The submenus are:

• Metadata Source
• Override Params
• Reversion Mode
• Reversion Preset

Metadata Source
Chooses the source or origin of the metadata values used in the encoding process.
Internal uses the current values as defined in the Metadata Params menus, these
values can be modified at any time. Choosing a specific program number uses the
metadata contained within that program from the metadata stream connected to the
Metadata port.

Override Params
When using metadata from a chosen external program, this setting allows either the
dialogue level and/or compression profile parameter to be replaced by the internal
metadata parameter setting.

Reversion Mode, Reversion Preset
These parameters determine what happens when the external metadata source, if
selected, is interrupted.

Last Used continues encoding using the last values set by the external source.
Preset continues encoding using the values contained in the chosen Reversion

preset.
