Metadata ingest format | NAGRAVISION Documentation Portal

This section describes the elements that can be used in an XML ingest file for editorial-based and technical-based models:

OpenTV Video Platform 20.51 introduced a new, editorial-based data model that is easier to use and understand.

Platform supports the use of either the older, technical-based format or the newer, editorial-based ingest format.

The following table shows the high-level differences between the two data models:
