Remarks
Remarks
Please note that this item is a measurement Test, because the essence type and count are not explicit metadata elements in MXF.

To identify and distinguish the type of essence, the "EssenceTrackNumber" in the Material Package timeline tracks can be used, as it consists of the last four Bytes of the (16 bytes long) Essence Element Key. Same types can be counted.
