MXF

Material Exchange Format

MXF (Material eXchange Format) is a container format designed for professional video and audio media workflows. Released in 2004 through a collaboration between multiple media companies, MXF defines a common wrapper to combine, synchronize, and manage different digital streams. MXF supports many video, audio, and data encoding formats to provide interoperability between media production tools like cameras, switchers, editors, servers, and archives. The modular, extensible structure integrates metadata with rich media in a self-describing format. MXF files use either .mxf or .mxfs extensions. The format has been widely adopted for broadcast television along with digital cinema workflows. It ensures reliability, device interoperability, and efficient media exchange during acquisition, post-production, and transmission of high-end video. MXF fulfills critical media industry requirements for a robust, flexible file wrapper.
