At Metaglue, we provide both products and consultancy to help organizations use
metadata to improve their processes, their performance and their profitability.
| • | If you need to use metadata but don't know where to start…. |
| • | If you know what you want to achieve but don't know how to get there…. |
| • | If you have a plan but lack the skills or the time to deliver this…. |
| • | If you are already using metadata but things are not working out the way you require…. |
We can help.
We have a broad experience gained from working with a wide range of organizations.
Our clients range from multi-national broadcasters and studios to small companies
providing specialist facilities in media management, and include government agencies,
equipment manufacturers and software vendors.
Our evolving suite of products:
Diffuser,
AAFixer
MXFixer and

provide solutions for metadata management.
Alternatively, we can develop custom functionality for your existing applications.

Until now, the media industry has been able to use only a fraction of the
opportunities offered by metadata systems, and file transfer difficulties have
effectively confined them to single manufacturer product suites. But two new
products launched by Metaglue, the metadata specialists, have at last opened
up the world of networked media.
You have been reliant on the good will of your major suppliers.
With the tools that Diffuser gives you, the full benefit of working with
standards can now be achieved. Diffuser provides an accessible way into the
emerging standards for file interchange. These standards are amazingly versatile
and correspondingly complex. But, as with any technology, they can be tamed with
the right tools. Metaglue has developed the tools you have been waiting for.
Diffuser provides a web-based metadata environment
AAFixer maps metadata onto AAF files
MXFixer maps metadata onto MXF files
MXFactory enables faster ingest into Avid systems

Dunstan gives presentation
Mastering Digital Workflows conference
The conference, Mastering Digital Workflows, organised by Broadcast magazine took place in
London on 6th March. Neil Dunstan of Metaglue gave a presentation on behalf of the AMWA
about "Setting Industry Standards for Digital Workflows" to the audience of senior production,
operational and technical strategists.
The royalty free MXF software development kit
With the increasing use of MXF across the industry, many manufacturers are working
to include this as an interconnect standard for their products.
With finite staff resources, companies often look for external support
on an “ad hoc” basis for specific projects of this type
– which allows their own engineers to concentrate on company specific developments.
Since it started in 2002, Metaglue has provided bespoke MXF consultancy
to many organisations in many markets. However, we are aware that an “off the shelf”,
cost effective, service is more appropriate in many cases. So employing Metaglue’s past experience,
we can now offer an MXFplus package to help organisations implement MXF in their products and systems.
MXFplus is a software development kit (SDK) which builds on the
standard MXFLib and provides extra libraries to simplify MXF developments.
At Metaglue we never like to make things more difficult or expensive than necessary.
So our aim is to provide a service which:-
- Can be scaled to exactly satisfy the customer’s needs
- Is commercially straightforward and easy to administer
- Has no hidden or retrospective costs
- Includes all source code to the libraries
- Delivers what you want, when you want it
If you feel that your organisation could benefit from this type of service,
please
so we can explore your requirements!

MXFactory was developed to speed up ingest of content into Avid systems,
converting DPX files into Avid MXF files for instant ingest.

PBS Technology Conference
2pm April 10, 2008 at NAB
Oliver Morgan will speak about the use of MXF and Metadata for systemwide quality control.
As more and more assets are being managed and manipulated in the file domain,
processes are becoming increasingly automated and thus invisible.
Overall Quality Control of the asset is becoming a significant cost
factor in the lifecycle of any audio visual production. Creating an audit trail
of QC information and asset lifecycle information in MXF allows highly automated
reliable systems to be built with a minimum number of human touch points.
This session will illustrate the principals and technology involved.
The Technology Conference Website
April 14 - 17, 2008
As usual, Metaglue will be attending the exhibition and we will be pleased to meet old and new friends.
In a break with tradition, we will not be using a booth, which gives us much greater freedom to meet end users
and manufacturers at places that suit them.
If you'd like to meet during the show, please contact
before Friday April 11th.
From Saturday 12th onwards, please ring Neil's mobile at +44 7834 768492.
