Enabling Pinnacle import
Before you import your Pinnacle material, familiarize yourself with the configuration options in the
following procedure.
1. To import Pinnacle material, create the following registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Grass Valley Group\Streaming
REG_DWORD “ImportPinnacleStreams” = 1
Without this registry value, the K2 system does not handle the import correctly.
2. Do one of the following:
• If do not want to import captions and timecode from your Pinnacle material, skip the remainder
of this procedure. No further configuration is necessary.
• If you want to import captions and timecode from your Pinnacle material, continue with this
procedure. Read each step carefully and proceed only if you are sure that your Pinnacle
material is suitable.
3. To optionally import VITC from Pinnacle clips, proceed with this step as appropriate.
• If you know that VITC was not recorded on your Pinnacle material in the Pinnacle-private
uncompressed VBI data, skip to the next step. Do not create a registry value.
• If you know that your Pinnacle material was recorded with VITC as Pinnacle-private
uncompressed VBI lines and you want to preserve this timecode when you import the content
into the K2 system, then create the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Grass Valley Group\Streaming
REG_DWORD “ExtractPinnacleVitc” = 1
This instructs the K2 system to extract and preserve the VITC.
4. To optionally import captions from Pinnacle clips, proceed with this step as appropriate.
• If you know that captions were not recorded on your Pinnacle material in the Pinnacle-private
uncompressed VBI data, skip the remainder of this procedure. Do not create a registry value.
• If you know that your Pinnacle material was recorded with closed captions or teletext data
as Pinnacle-private uncompressed VBI lines and you want to preserve the captions when you
import the content into the K2 system, then create the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Grass Valley Group\Streaming
REG_DWORD “ExtractPinnacleCaptions” = 1
This instructs the K2 system to extract and preserve the captions.
When you are no longer using the K2 system to import Pinnacle material, you can delete all of the
above registry values that you created to support the import.
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.
