本文档定义了MXF文件格式的一个扩展，它允许对特定类别的数据流进行扩展 MXF主体包含多个分区。数据流的类别要么是沿时间线不均匀分布的本质，要么是大型数据流 无法适当存储在标头元数据中的元数据量。此类数据流的示例 是时变元数据、结构化文本文件和“块状”本质，即不是均匀分布在 时间线。通用流容器不打算携带可以放在MXF头中的元数据 元数据或本质，或可适当存储在MXF通用容器中的元数据。本文件定义了用于传输数据流的KLV编码方法。 该MXF定义了通用的MXF流，该MXF流也用于多路传输 文件夹。这些通用流分区提供了在不同分区中传输通用流的功能 那些包含容器数据或索引表段的分区。在通用流分区中承载的本质和元数据有效负载在关联的 文件。本文档为指定通用流有效载荷和 他们的申请。它还定义了通用流到元数据头的基本链接机制 MXF文件。

This document defines an extension of the MXF File Format that allows specific classes of data streams to be contained in MXF Body Partitions.The classes of data streams are either essence that is unevenly distributed along the timeline or large amounts of metadata that cannot suitably be stored in the Header Metadata. Examples for such data streams are time-varying metadata, structured text files and 'lumpy' essence, i.e. that is not evenly spread along the timeline.The Generic Stream Container is not intended to carry metadata that could be placed in MXF Header Metadata or essence or metadata that could suitably be stored in the MXF Generic Container.This document defines the KLV encoding methods used to carry the data stream.This document also defines partitions that are used to multiplex Generic Streams into the byte stream of MXF files. These Generic Stream Partitions provide for the carriage of Generic Streams in separate partitions from those partitions carrying Essence Container data or Index Table segments.Essence and metadata payloads that are carried in Generic Stream Partitions are defined in associated documents. This document defines rules for the documents that specify the Generic Stream Payloads and their application. It also defines the basic linking mechanisms of Generic Streams to the Header Metadata of the MXF file.
