Thanks to its complexity, MXF can hold an extended range of video frames, filled with audio and data essance, as well as frame-based metadata. The MXF file format brings together audio, video and programming data and puts them together in a wrapper. These streams can be coded with many different codecs and also includes a metadata wrapper. But the concept of MXF exists for quite some time, being defined as a ‘wrapper’ format that supports multiple streams of coded ‘essence’. Material Exchange Format, since that’s the full name of this video format became more popular by the day with the release of a lot of 4K cameras.
