Burned in metadata such as EXIF, XMP, etc is harvested from the file during ingest and directly translated to MediaHaven fields. For the reference of the MediaHaven fields see Metadata Fields.

For single fields the first matching property is used. For example XML_CreateDate precedes XML_ModifyDate hence the XML_CreateDate will be used if both are present.

The superscript “*” denotes it is only available in DigiHaven.
