Now utility is built and ready to use. Please see usage sections of guide to learn how to execute conversion jobs.

Usage

DPP usage

Example below shows a possible usage of IMF Utility to make a simple conversion into DPP format.

Please see README to find a complete list of available options and facilities.

Go to directory with installed utility:

$ cd {imf-conversion-source}/install/imf-conversion-utility

Edit sample/config.xml if needed.

It can be used as is, if all external tools installed at step 1 are added to the PATH.

Please see README for a full description of config.xml.
Edit sample/dpp_metadata.xml if needed.

Either enter correct duration for PartDuration and TotalProgrammeDuration fields, or use 00:00:00:00.

Please note that all timestamps are in SMPTE timecode format (hh:mm:ss:ff), where ff is in range [0,24] for 25 fps. Please see README for a full description of metadata.xml.

A sample metadata.xml can be created by running the following command:
```
$ bin/imf-conversion-utility dpp -m metadata -o metadata.xml
```
Edit sample/dpp_audiomap.xml if needed.

Please see README for a full description of audiomap.xml.

A sample audiomap.xml can be created by running the following command:
```
$ bin/imf-conversion-utility dpp -m audiomap -o audiomap.xml
```

Run conversion by executing the following command:

$ bin/imf-conversion-utility dpp -c sample/config.xml --metadata sample/dpp_metadata.xml -o {output-name} --imp {path-to/imp} --cpl {cpl-name} -w {output-dir}

If a specific audiomap must be used, then run:

$ bin/imf-conversion-utility dpp -c sample/config.xml --metadata sample/dpp_metadata.xml --audiomap sample/dpp_audiomap.xml -o {output-name} --imp {path-to/imp} --cpl {cpl-name} -w {output-dir}

Please note, than -w, --imp and --cpl values can be set in config.xml instead, --cpl path can be either absolute or relative to --imp.

An output flat files are created under the specified -w directory and called '{output-dir}/{output-name}.mxf' and '{output-dir}/{output-name}.stl'.
To get the whole set of possible options and formats, run the following command:
```
$ bin/imf-conversion-utility dpp --help
```

iTunes usage

Example below shows a possible usage of IMF Utility to make a simple conversion into iTunes format.

Please see README to find a complete list of available options and facilities.

Go to directory with installed utility:

$ cd {imf-conversion-source}/install/imf-conversion-utility

Edit sample/config.xml if needed.

Sample config.xml doesn't contain path to Prenc tool needed for iTunes conversion, so please specify it manually by adding line
```
    <tool id="prenc">prenc </tool>
```
in <externalTools> section of config.xml.

Please see README for a full description of config.xml.
Generate and edit metadata.xml if needed.

Please see README for a full description of metadata.xml.

A sample metadata.xml can be created by running the following command:
```
$ bin/imf-conversion-utility itunes -m metadata -o metadata.xml
```
By default, metadata will be generated for iTunes Film specification. Use -p(--package-type) option to generate metadata for iTunes Tv specification:
```
$ bin/imf-conversion-utility itunes -m metadata -p tv -o metadata.xml
```
Generate and edit audiomap.xml if needed.

Please see README for a full description of audiomap.xml.

A sample audiomap.xml can be created by running the following command:
```
$ bin/imf-conversion-utility itunes -m audiomap -o audiomap.xml
```

Run conversion by executing the following command:

$ bin/imf-conversion-utility itunes -c sample/config.xml --vendor-id {vendor-id} --imp {path-to/imp} --cpl {cpl} -w {output-dir}

If definite audiomap must be used, then run:

$ bin/imf-conversion-utility itunes -c sample/config.xml --vendor-id {vendor-id} --audiomap {audiomap-path} --imp {path-to/imp} --cpl {cpl} -w {output-dir}

If definite metadata must be used, then run:

$ bin/imf-conversion-utility itunes -c sample/config.xml --vendor-id {vendor-id} --metadata {metadata-path} --imp {path-to/imp} --cpl {cpl} -w {output-dir}

To provide conversion for specific format, use -f(--format) option:

$ bin/imf-conversion-utility itunes -c sample/config.xml --vendor-id {vendor-id} -f hd1080p25 --imp {path-to/imp} --cpl {cpl} -w {output-dir}

By default, conversion uses iTunes Film specification for metadata. To provide conversion for iTunes Tv specification use -p(--package-type) option:

$ bin/imf-conversion-utility itunes -c sample/config.xml --vendor-id {vendor-id} -p tv --imp {path-to/imp} --cpl {cpl} -w {output-dir}

Please note, than -w, --imp and --cpl values can be set in config.xml instead, --cpl path can be either absolute or relative to --imp.

An output iTunes package is created under the specified -w directory and called '{output-dir}/{vendor-id}.itmsp'.
To get the whole set of possible options and formats, run the following command:
```
$ bin/imf-conversion-utility itunes --help
```
