The SMPTE RDD 6 (Dolby E Audio Metadata) XML Creator is a basic HTML web page application that creates an XML file suitable for bmxtranswrap to embed a static RDD 6 serial bitstream in an MXF file.
Copy the index.html and supporting directories (css and js) to a local file system, or use a clone of this Git repository.
Open index.html in a web browser and fill-in the RDD 6 metadata. Select "Save XML" to export to a local file.
The file name includes a hash of the file contents (
var filename = "dpp_rdd6_" + hash_djb2(rdd6_xml) + ".xml") and therefore files will have a different name if the contents are different.
The exported XML file can be passed to the bmxtranswrap tool using the --rdd6 <file> commandline option.
The RDD 6 XML can be extracted from an MXF file using mxf2raw and the --rdd6 <frames> <file> option.
Set the
<frames>argument to a single MXF frame (e.g.10) or sequence of MXF frames (e.g.0-10) to extract the RDD 6 metadata. The RDD 6 metadata is the same in each frame except for the program description which is spread across multiple frames. Each frame has 1 character of the description text, a description start byte (0x02) or a description end byte (0x03).
The XML Schema for the RDD 6 XML can be found in ../rdd6/rdd6.xsd.
