Vizrt Data Format (VDF)

In order to implement an external update service, you need to parse and return a Vizrt Data Format (vdf) document to the Media Sequencer. The document is posted to the update service by the Media Sequencer.

In order to work with the data formats you have to know how the data is structured when it is sent from the Media Sequencer to Viz (e.g. by looking at the Media Sequencer’s console), and work with the data that is sent; however, we highly recommend that you contact your local Vizrt representative in order to get the current version of the VDF.

Example VDF document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<payload xmlns="http://www.vizrt.com/types">
<field name="foo">
<value>bar</value>
</field>
<field name="otherfoo">
<value>otherbar</value>
</field>
</payload>

The Field Names refer to Field Identifiers, a property available to all Viz Artist control plugins.
