Overview

ADM Best Best Practices: Overview

• RIFF audio files, i.e. BWF, RF64 and BW64, store ADM in the <axml> and <chna> chunks.

• In MXF OP1-A, audio can be wrapped using the SMPTE ST 2131.

• IMF, the most advanced deliverable format at present, can combine multiple MXF and BWF audio and video files, allowing for versioning. Such a 'composition' may contain ADM and S-ADM wrapped in RIFF and MXF

See subsections here to explore how to get the most out of ADM in these typical broadcast production and delivery workflows.
