Elements defined

instantiationStandard

If the instantiation is a physical item, instantiationStandard can be used to refer to the broadcast standard of the video signal (e.g. NTSC, PAL), or the audio encoding (e.g. Dolby A, vertical cut). If the instantiation is a digital item, instantiationStandard should be used to express the container format of the digital file (e.g. MXF).

Best Practice: While the usage described in the definition is best practice for 2.1, this usage is likely to change if new elements are added for PBCore 3.0.

Usage: optional, not repeatable
