MXF Video Format

MXF (Material Exchange Format) is a professional video and audio container format. It's widely used in the broadcast and film industries for storing metadata, video, and audio streams. MXF provides a standardized way to handle various media types, ensuring interoperability between different systems and facilitating media exchange. It supports various codecs and is designed to be robust and error-resilient, making it a reliable choice for archiving and broadcast workflows.
