The Material Exchange Format is considered as a container file that adopts the .mxf file extension, and it is widely used in professional digital audio and video media based on the SMPTE set of standards. The file extension .mxf is classified as a wrapper, because it can be used to provide support to various coded streams of essence (compilation coding of different codecs), combined with the metadata used to describe the contents of the .mxf file extension. Basically, the file extension .mxf was conceived out of necessity to resolve various issues that arise from the implementation of non-professional standards, by providing fully functional support for metadata and timecode that is being geared as the future platform independent standard for professional audio and video programs.The file extension .mxf was designed to incorporate subsets of AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) models deployed through the ZDD (Zero Divergence Directive) policy, which allows the use of the .mxf file extension in non-linear editing of servers, cameras, and similar devices. Deployment of the file extension .mxf is an effective solution for IMX material interchange, due to Sony's eVTR and eVTR RDD success in SMPTE that combined it with Avid NLE platforms for use in broadcast servers that implement AAF and .mxf file extension coordination. As the development of broadcaster specification becomes a reality, there is an expected improvement in the vendor side implementation of the technology for material interchange, which involves video servers.As an object based format, the file extension .mxf is intended to bundle various devices and formats, in what could result as an edit list for audio-visual editing of contents, having unambiguous properties of the system. The file extension .mxf supports multipart and complex object insertion in a non-linear format, which clearly expresses relationship of the parts that constitute the entirety of the project, or archive production. The file extension .mxf is also associated with MXF GC (Generic Container Format of MXF), utilized in specific implementations of encodings. The Essences related to the file extension .mxf are internal in general, with very minimal existence of external, which are defined based on their reference.
