This standard specifies the data format for the System Item of the MXF Generic Container (GC) that is called
System Scheme 1. This data format is a superset of the System Item defined in SMPTE 385M (Mapping
SDTI-CP Essence and Metadata into the MXF Generic Container) and provides a more generic and flexible
data structure that can provide system elements for flexible GC wrappings including clip-based wrapping. This
document defines the rules that System Elements in the System Item shall follow in order to be classified as a
System Scheme 1 System Element.The MXF Generic Container is the native Essence Container of the Material Exchange Format (MXF) File
Body. The MXF Generic Container is defined for the interchange of streamable audio-visual material.This document defines the data structure at the signal interfaces of networks or storage media. This
document does not define internal storage formats for MXF compliant devices.
