Abstract
A new generation of interchange formats is emerging. The Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) has been designed for post-production and is also being used in news production and other applications. The AAF Association offers a reference implementation that represents a defacto standard. The Material Exchange Format (MXF) was designed for source material and finished material transfers. Work on MXF has been under way for a few years, and the MXF standards are now ready to support commercial products. Neither AAF nor MXF is the first format in their respective class; both have benefited from their predecessors. Integrating these new formats into existing facilities offers some challenges for both the end-users and vendors. It is easy to see the potential benefits of the new formats when viewed in isolation, but in practical applications these benefits can be realized only when there is a clear plan for integrating new equipment and formats with existing infrastructures. This paper will discuss the capabilities and uses of the new formats and describe some strategies for working with the established interchange formats.

bio
During his career, Bob Edge has worked as an engineer, architect, project leader, and program manager on several products. Some of his early efforts include desktop computing systems, peripherals, and high-performance graphics terminals. He participated in a research project that used high-bandwidth data networks to transport video streams. Following this project, he worked on additions to the Profile server product line. Edge is now active in television standards work, including participation in SMPTE, a few European Broadcasters Union projects, the AAF Association, and the Pro-MPEG Forum. Recently, he led the effort to standardize the General Exchange Format (GXF), now known as SMPTE 360M. Edge is a SMPTE Fellow and the author of several technical papers describing the application of IT technology in television production. He has a bachelor's degree in computer science from Oregon State University.
