Recording Placeholder [ENT 21.1 ARC]

If an Enterprise MAM Solution connects to video servers for recording assets or some other type of scheduled asset ingest, it often is necessary to create recording placeholders. Recording placeholder store information on a recording which is going to happen at a later time - but no assets, yet.

To ensure a consistent behaviour of all applications in an Enterprise MAM Solution, the follow metadata fields are pre-defined:
