What does this mean to me as an existing iView MediaPro or Microsoft Expression Media customer?

Microsoft Expression Media was acquired from Microsoft by Phase One in May 2010, marking an exciting new chapter for the evolution of the product.
What's been cooking since then? Well, the product line has become part of Phase One's organization, and the new version of the product, Media Pro (based on iView Media Pro and Microsoft Expression Media) is now available for trial and purchase.

Does Media Pro support file formats other than photo and video files?

Why has Media Pro added support of XMP sidecar metadata exchange?

The Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is a standard, created by Adobe Systems Inc., for processing and storing standardized and proprietary information relating to the contents of a file.
XMP sidecar metadata files contain metadata for your photos. They have the same name as the photo file, only with a .xmp suffix. The advantage of these files is that you don't have to modify the original image file and it is extremely useful for exchanging metadata between Media Pro and photo editing software applications.
Media Pro and Capture One use XMP sidecar files for metadata exchange between the two applications. This is essential as Capture One is a non-destructive image editor, meaning that it does not alter the original RAW image in any way save for renaming the file.
