MXF export behavior on K2 systems
Upon MXF export the K2 system checks clip structure for specifications as they apply to industry
standard formats such as XDCAM and eVTR style D10AES3. If specifications match, the media is
exported as the appropriate format.
The K2 system allows you to configure channels 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 a D10AES3 channel. If you alter a clip in this way, on MXF export the
K2 system exports the clip as MXF OP 1A but it is not the same eVTR style of MXF.
About MXF with DIDs and SDIDs
You can import and export MXF containing ANC packets and VBI lines as specified in SMPTE
ST 436. The K2 system extracts the ANC packets or VBI lines to the K2 clip's data track.
