[AtlSMPTE] Update on November SectionMeeting

[Ron Caird]

We have some additional detail on the program for the November 8 Atlanta
Section meeting:
Case Study for Implementing the Advanced Authoring Format (AAF)
The challenge for manufacturers or M&E companies with in house software
teams implementing AAF can be daunting. AAF is a rich and extensible format
for wrapping metadata and media essence for file based production, and AAF
is capable of representing highly complex descriptions of abstract or
non-linear edits. Implementing AAF typically requires mapping of one
composition metadata architecture to another fundamentally different
composition architecture. This presentation shows how to map between AAF and
XTL, the composition format for Windows Media 9 Series (WM9S). Siemens
Business Services Media (formerly BBC Technology) working closely with
Microsoft's Window Media group, has developed an AAF plug-in for WM9S that
allows contents of AAF files to be viewed using the Windows Media Player.
The plug-in also enables software developers to rapidly create more complex
applications leveraging Microsoft's Direct Show platform. This case study
for mapping AAF to XTL illustrates a relatively thorough example of what is
required to implement AAF, and how AAF can be used to create new and
innovative tools and products.
