IMF Media Management API project

In a recent Linkedin post, Bruce Devlin, Standards Vice President at SMPTE worried that he was “Too enthusiastic about IMF”, amongst the comments were reassuring words that IMF will be GARGANTUAN. There certainly seems to be more content and more projects and more uptake of IMF with every passing month.

We were delighted to be able to help Bruce with his IMF API (Application Programming Interface) which has reached v1.0 and will be maintained by the DPP from IBC onwards. All APIs are meant to be boring and reliable and this one is no different. Building upon the API allows new and exciting workflows that have previously been difficult.

The API basically allows an application like MIST to query a MAM system and ask “Where did you store that CPL” or “Where is the audio insert for that version of the content”. This is important because IMF does not use filenames and the real benefits of IMF come with automation and Asset Management.

You can find out more about this free API at http://imf-mm-api.cloud and for DPP members you can ask questions at their IBC IMF Breakfast Briefing.
