Specifications for Pinnacle support

• Pinnacle clips do not indicate timecode as “drop-frame”. The K2 import assumes

non-drop-frame values.

• The time-code used in the header file and recorded into the MPEG Video GOP

header starts out as 00:00:00:00 by default. If the option to extract VITC is not
enabled, or no VITC is detected on import, timecode extracted from the MPEG
Video GOP manifests as the timecode track for the imported K2 clip.

• Pinnacle servers preserve non-MPEG-1 (Musicam) audio as Pinnacle-private

elementary streams within the program stream std file. Pinnacle clips allow up to
8 channels of audio. On import the K2 system detects the private stream audio
packets when they are present and generates the appropriate K2 audio track(s).

• When importing Pinnacle content recorded as an MPEG1 system stream, any

Pinnacle-private audio from MPEG2 program stream based clips is lost.

• The K2 system supports extraction of the following kinds of Pinnacle-private

audio:

• PCM-16, PCM-20 (PCM-20 is converted into PCM-24 on import)

• DolbyE and AC-3

• If you enable the option via registry key, the K2 system examines specific VBI

lines when it detects Pinnacle-private VBI lines, as follows:

• Line 21 (default, can be overridden via registry) is examined for the presence of
