Load External Metadata

Use this workspace to ingest the external video clip metadata (native metadata). The

ProxSysMA Metadata

column lists the MA metadata tags used by the MA server to perform

content search and retrieve operations. It is important to identify the external metadata tags
that have the same type of data as the MA server’s tags. The upload utility provides the ability
to translate external tags with different names to the MA server tags. For more information
about metadata see

Metadata Management

on page 38.

Use these settings to match external metadata with the MA server’s metadata.
