2 Compatibility
The functionality described in this document requires K2 Edge version 4.0.2.
3 Introduction
From release 4.0.2 K2 Edge supports cross conversion between different broadcast signals. This
means that the system is capable of transforming a broadcast signal from one type towards another.
For example, a playout system renders and broadcasts a [email protected] signal. When using a live-input
of type NTSC the K2 Edge will detect that the input and output formats are not compatible (but related)
and will automatically insert a cross conversion filter. This cross conversion filter will
deinterlace/interlace the frames and correct the frame rate.
Cross conversion is automatically applied to clips, SDI-feeds and animations as indicated in the tables
in chapter 4.
A number of services embedded in clips and in the VBI-data in SDI-streams, such as AFD, ATC and
CDP, are extracted from the input source and made available in the output, possibly converted to a
suitable alternative format (for example ATC and VITC).
