Opaque Enhancement Attributes
  An ITV enhancement other than SMPTE-363M has the same characteristics as an opaque enhancement after you import it into the Avid application.
To create an opaque enhancement (any enhancement other than ITV SMPTE-363M):
  Supply values for the attributes shown in the following tables.
Opaque Enhancement Core Attributes
Field
Description
META Name
The name of the enhancement as you want it to appear in the Avid application's bin.
META Type
The type of enhancement. Opaque and ITV are supplied, however, you can type a different name.
Sub-type
The type of opaque enhancement.
Location
The path of a file referenced by the enhancement, such as an HTML file or data file. If the file is on a local or network drive, you can click the Browse button to navigate to the file. If the file is on a Web server, type (or copy and paste) the URL.
You can validate the location after you create the enhancement, as described in Verifying Enhancement Paths.
Native App
The path of the application you use to open the file referenced by the enhancement. This field is required if you want to open the native application when you are working on an Avid editing system (see Opening the Native Application). Use the path of the application as it exists on the Avid editing system.
For example, if you have specified an HTML file as the value of the Location attribute, you can specify the path of the Internet Explorer program. If the application is on a local or network drive, you can click the Browse button to navigate to the application.
MIME Type
The multipurpose Internet mail extensions (MIME) type required to process a particular enhancement. MIME types are predefined file types that enable the transport and display of specified media, for example, text/html and video/mpeg.
