Set Metadata Node

Set Metadata allows you to create new Name = Value pairs in the metadata. Metadata can be viewed in a subview of the viewer.

Set Metadata Node Inputs

The single input on the Set Metadata node is used to connect a 2D image that gets metadata added.

Background Input: The orange background input is used for the primary 2D image that is output from the node with the new metadata.

The Set Metadata node embeds new metadata into the background input (orange). The output is the background input with new metadata.

The Controls tab is where you set up the name of the metadata field and the value or information regarding the metadata.

Field Name
The name of the metadata value. Do not use spaces.

Field Value
The value assigned to the name above.

The Settings tab in the Inspector is also duplicated in other Metadata nodes. These common controls are described in detail HERE.
