A new data track will be created if one is not already present in the sequence. You will
receive a dialog indicating that a data track will be created. The data track appears empty.
This data track must be present and monitored during output in order for the AFD value to
be inserted. If you delete this data track, the AFD value is also deleted.
Ancillary Data and AMA
Avid Media Access (AMA) is a plug-in architecture that lets you link directly to clips from a
third-party volume or to a file based media clip into a bin without storing the media directly on
your system.
You can AMA link to an XDCAM or an MXF (SMPTE 436M compliant) clip with ancillary
data, the ancillary data appears in your bin and it creates a Data track in your Avid sequence. You
can link to the ancillary data clip without an Avid input/output hardware, however, in order to
view the ancillary data in a monitor, an Avid Nitris DX or Avid Mojo DX device is required.
n
Ancillary data is only supported with high resolution XDCAM clips. A proxy clip does not
contain a data track, however once you relink to the high resolution XDCAM clip, the data track
comes online.
For information about ancillary data and data tracks, see “Preserving HD Closed Captioning and
Ancillary Data” on page 1091 and “Data Track Method” on page 1092.
