SMPTE RP 197-2003

This practice describes the data format of a list of film-to-video transfers. This list may be stored and referenced to document the process of transferring pictures and sound from film-related media to video media. The information documented in this list may include general production and post-production information (date, facility, film type). The list also contains the specific time (synchronization) elationships between source and destination elements. The storage medium for this list is not specified by this practice. This practice is based on ANSI/SMPTE 258M. The edit decision list (EDL) forms the base description of the structure of this film transfer list (FTL). Sections of this practice describe additional information that is used to document film-to-tape transfer sessions. Only the differences between EDL and FTL are contained here.
