8-3-3 Using UMID Data
To perform operations from interviewing to editing 
effectively and to detect audio-visual materials easily 
when reusing them, metadata that provides additional 
information is recorded along with audio-visual data. As 
one of application of metadata, the UMID (Unique 
Material Identifier) is internationally standardized.
What is a UMID?
The UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a unique 
identifier for audio-visual material defined by the 
SMPTE330M-2003 standard.
The UMID may be used either as the 32-byte Basic UMID 
or as the Extended UMID, which includes an additional 32 
bytes of Source Pack to make a total 64 bytes.
For details, refer to SMPTE 330M.
Globally unique ID is automatically recorded in clip units.
The Extended UMID is metadata that provides additional 
information such as location, time/date, company and so 
on.
The UMID is applied as follows.
