Metadata Translations

Metadata Translations

Metadata translations are a long existing concept in our product but have been revamped in version 24.2.

Introduction

Metadata translations allow for configuring a sequence of metadata fields to translate into metadata fields that can be burned into files, such https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif metadata keys.

Metadata Translation

Metadata translations are shared across an organisation with a unique name. Updating, creating or deleting metadata translations requires the function ADMIN_METADATA_TRANSLATIONS. The MediaHaven REST API offers a CRUD API on the metadata translations.

Profile

To configure the list of metadata fields and their corresponding metadata key for the burn-in into a file, we have added a new profile category MetadataTranslation to the Profiles. The profile is automatically created when creating the metadata translation.

Exports

On Export you can configure the export option “Metadata” of the type “Burn” with a matching metadata translation for the export. Similarly when requesting an Export you can specify it as well on demand.
