Appendix B Specifications
MXF export behavior on K2 Summit/Solo
The following sections specify how a K2 system handles file formats when they are
exported as MXF.
Behavior on MXF export from K2 systems
Upon MXF export the K2 system checks media for specifications as they apply to
industry standard formats such as XDCAM. If specifications match, the media is
exported as the appropriate format.
The K2 system allows you to alter clips so that they no longer match the specifications
for the industry-standard format. For example, you can add audio tracks to exceed the
“# of Audio Tracks” specification for XDCAM. If you alter a clip in this way, on
MXF export the K2 system exports the clip but it is not compatible with the
industry-standard format.
Media file system performance on K2 systems
This section specifies media operations on K2 systems. On a K2 SAN, these
specification are qualified at channel counts up to 48 channels. Performance on larger
systems is not tested.
Record-to-play specifications
The following tables specify the minimum length of time supported between
recording on one channel and playing out the same clip on another channel. Live play
mode is available only on the K2 Solo Media Server and the K2 Summit Production
Client with the AppCenter Pro license. On a K2 SAN, Live play mode is not
supported with record-to-play on different K2 clients or on a K2 SAN with Live
Production mode not enabled.
