Details
Description
Reads out the value associated with the SMPTE Universal Label that signals the Operational Pattern.

An Operational Pattern in MXF describes the complexity which is used within the file:
- The number describes the item complexity: Single item, Playlist items, Edit items.
- The letter describes the Package Complexity: Single Package, Ganged Packages, Alternate Packages.

The simplest case is OP1a which stands for Single Item and Single Package.

OP Atom is a special case. There the essence is wrapped in separate MXF files, so every audio or video track is provided in its own MXF file.
Definition
Used in Checks, the system shall verify if the Operational Pattern indicated in the MXF wrapper metadata matches the expected Operational Pattern specified as input. Optionally the system may also report the Operational Pattern.

Used in Reports, the system shall report the Operational Pattern read out from the MXF wrapper metadata.
