CONSUMER VALUE:- No computer needed- Leverage entertainment

center spend (DVD rec.)- Appliance printer for prints- Disc holds many unloads storage media

DVD RecorderMemory card slot(s)

BARRIER:Each disc and camera maker

organizes photo/video files

differentlyBARRIER:

Organize and manage multiple albums on a

disc that user can navigate easily and other devices and

apps can use

MPV ADVANTAGES:- Add-on MPV file is the only

change to camera or disc- Enables uniform access to

camera and disc content- Organizes disc content into

MPV Enables GoodDigital Imaging on Photo/Video Players

• Rapid startup on disc / memory card insertionOne top-level MPV entry point provides access to disc/card

contents

• Fast performance for displaying imagesMPV supports screen & thumbnail renditions for hi-res files & videos

• Playback of stills & video with background musicMPV albums organize contents for playback with music

• Organizes content on CD & DVDMPV albums organize 100s to 1000s of files for easy access to files

anywhere on the disc

• Implement one firmware to handle content from any digital camera or CD/DVD makerMPV provides a single control format (“manifest”) that represents

any of the content organizations coming from any DSC or CD/DVD.

MPV Enables Interoperability and New Products

• Interchange representation for DSC contentDSC maker can organize and name files in any manner desired;

fully DCF compatible; URLs and user-specified long filenames are supported.

• MPV adds on to existing implementationsKeep existing file content, directory layout, metadata formats

• Use with any storage media, file system, or internetOriginal data + MPV works anywhere – avoids format conversions

• Collections span devices, applications, and servicesIncludes metadata and associated data; fully extensible

• Robust albums withstand filename & location changesIdentifiers enable pathname fixup; essential for PC-based use

• Playback on WinXP systems or any IE 5.5+ browserNo software installation required

MPVTechnology Introduction

MPV Specification Architecture

Key Concepts:• Collections of Assets• Identification of Assets• Metadata about Assets

and Collections

MPV Core

Key Concept:• Makes the Core Module

available as a Profile

MPV Basic Profile

Key Concepts:• Metadata structuring method• Interoperable across

XML-Schema, RDF-Schema,and SQL database encodings

NMF

Makes Use Of

Based on

Key Concepts:• Common XML Wrapper• Defines Profile concept

OSTA XML Manifest

Key Concepts:• The Album & other metadata

for collection presentation

MPV Presentation Profile

Key Concepts:• Music metadata• MPV usage for music

Identification

Manifest:• Wraps all components of a MPV collection• Practices for manifest file naming and location

Asset List:• An unordered set of assets

Mark List:• An ordered set of asset references• primary, selected, hidden, <app-specific extensions>

Simple Assets:• Still, Video, Audio, Text, Print, Document,

ManifestLink

Composite Assets:• StillWithAudio, StillMultishotSequence,

StillPanoramaSequence, Par, Seq

highRes, show, print, proof, draft, alt, targetSystem

Related Documents:• any document

Any Metadata:• Holds arbitrary XML-formatted metadata• Useful for pre-existing schema

NMF Metadata:• Recommended for new metadata schema• Interoperable across XML Schema, RDF

Schema and database environments.• XML-Schema-based validation

NMF Dublin Core:• Common metadata about assets: title,

creator, created date, etc.

Identifiers:• LastURL: path to the object• InstanceID: unique per object• DocumentID: same for all renditions• ContentID: Content-based Identification

MPV Presentation Profile

Album Presentation ControlAlbum:• Defines a presentation-oriented view of a collection

Foreground & Background:• Ordered sequence of objects, grouped by purpose

Renditions and Related Documents:• Album-level renditions and related documents,

e.g. index sheet, slideshow video

Mark Lists:• Marked objects in the album

AlbumLink:• Links one album to another

Metadata:• Background color, duration, scaling fit,

transitions, repeats, etc.
