What Grass Valley Learned from GXF and How it can Help Everyone

Bob Edge

About 10 years ago Grass Valley developed a file format (GXF) for professional TV archives and data network transfers. This file format is in use in hundreds of facilities around the world. About 5 years ago the Pro-MPEG Forum and SMPTE started work on MXF and the resulting standards are now supported by most of the TV equipment vendors. Grass Valley learned a great deal from the GXF experience. Some of this knowledge improved MXF and other ideas can help end-users who are starting to deploy MXF based systems.
