Metadata Placeholders
From IRIDAS Online Documentation
Overview
Meta data placeholders are used in Burn-In Templates and output path specifications. They are enclosed in curly brackets:
{Src.TimeCode}
The first part of the placeholder before the dot denotes the origin of the field, the second part names the variable. All variables prefixed with
Src.
Have their origin in the source file. All variables beginning with
Timeline.
Are created by the timeline in SpeedGrade and FrameCycler.
