ABOUT US

The gold standard for metadata processing.

Metaglue Corporation was founded in 2002 to help companies take advantage of emerging file transfer and metadata standards. Early adopters sought to evolve from videotape and serial digital infrastructures that limited process throughput and were expensive to implement and maintain.

Today’s modern media facility is pushing further into automated processes and end-to-end analytics to constantly improve performance and capabilities across logistically abstract infrastructures and consumption diversity.

What we do

Metaglue offers an expanding range of products and services to help realize operational efficiencies and business benefits using MXF, AAF, Quick Time and metadata. We can provide:

  • standard products (to view, check and modify MXF files)

  • technical support to integrate our and other company’s products into your operations

  • an SDK and professional services package to build MXF functionality into a product or system

  • expert consultancy or custom development

Metaglue is an active participant in standards bodies such as SMPTE, EBU and AMWA, helping to ensure interoperability across our industry.
