About 3D/Video + Key
This feature is part of the ChannelFlex Suite, which requires the AppCenter Elite license.
You can connect SDI IN1 and SDI IN2 on a K2 Summit/Solo system channel to use the 3D/Video
+ Key feature. SDI IN1 is Video or Left Eye. SDI IN2 is Key or Right Eye. To record, you must
configure the channel as a 3D/Video + Key record channel. The K2 Summit/Solo system records a
single 3D/Video + Key clip with two video tracks.
In a 3D/Video + Key clip, video track 1 is Video (or right eye) and video track 2 is Key (or left eye).
If ancillary data and/or timecode is present on SDI IN1, the 3D/Video + Key clip contains that
ancillary data and/or timecode. The clip’s audio is recorded from SDI IN1. You can also create a
3D/Video + Key clip using the Add Track feature.
In E-to-E (LoopThru) mode, SDI OUT1 and SDI OUT2 show the signals coming in at SDI IN1 and
SDI IN2 respectively. When in this mode or when playing a 3D/Video + Key clip, the VGA Video
Monitor displays the two video signals, but at a smaller size, in the area for the single channel.
When you play a 3D/Video + Key clip on a channel that is configured as a 3D/Video + Key play
channel, SDI OUT1 plays the Video (or right eye) and SDI OUT2 plays the Key (or left eye). When
you play a standard clip on a channel that is configured as a 3D/Video + Key play channel, SDI
OUT2 plays a full Key (white). AppCenter Playlist and Loop Play support 3D/Video + Key clips.
A 3D/Video + Key play channel supports playlist mode.
You can stream a 3D/Video + Key clip as GXF to/from other K2 Summit/Solo systems.
