K2 Media Client System Guide

June 9, 2009

Chapter 3 System connections and configuration

Enabling Pinnacle import

You must configure the K2 Media Server or stand-alone K2 client system to detect
and convert Pinnacle material. To do this, the following registry value must be created
before importing the media:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Grass Valley Group\Streaming

REG_DWORD “ImportPinnacleStreams” = 1

If, optionally, you want the K2 system to extract VITC timecode that is carried as
uncompressed VBI lines in the Pinnacle private data of the program stream, you must
create the following registry value before importing the media:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Grass Valley Group\Streaming

REG_DWORD “ExtractPinnacleVitc” = 1

Similarly, if you want the K2 system to extract and demodulate close-captioning or
teletext data from Pinnacle uncompressed VBI lines, you must create the following
registry value before importing the media:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Grass Valley Group\Streaming

REG_DWORD “ExtractPinnacleCaptions” = 1

Importing via K2 Hot Bin

1. If you have not already done so, configure a K2 HotBin.

2. Rename the Pinnacle clip’s std file with your desired K2 clip name and a *.mpg

extension.

3. Drop the file in the K2 HotBin.

Importing via K2 FTP

1. With your third-party FTP client, connects to the K2 FTP server as a standard K2

FTP session.

2. Use the FTP put command to transfer the Pinnacle clip’s std file with your desired

K2 clip name.

Use the following example as a guideline:

ftp mx-proto-b14

Connected to mx-proto-b14.

220 FTP Server (1, 0, 0, 1) ready.

User (mx-proto-b14:(none)): administrator

331 Password required for user administrator.

Password:

230 Logged in, and aspect successfully set to MOVIE,
stream mode GXF.

ftp> bin

200 Type set to IMAGE.
