Metadata employed in the postproduction processes is made available downstream, during pre-processing or at runtime, to optimize the audio-visual experience. This document covers modelling of the playout characteristics of audiovisual equipment at distribution end-points, so content metadata from postproduction can be used to optimize playout.

Traditional metadata describes technical features of the video and audio and covers the viewing environment, platform and content characterization, and consumer requirements.

Dr. Michael Hausenblas from iMP member NUIG has contributed to the draft, which feeds into the overall iMP metadata architecture.
