Licensing K2 capture service software
Licensing is required for K2 capture service software as follows:
• To use the XML Import capture service, you must obtain a XML Import capture service license
from Grass Valley.
• To use the P2 Import capture service, you must obtain a P2 Import capture service license from
Grass Valley.
• To use the Export capture service, you must obtain an Export capture service license from Grass
Valley.
Licenses are requested through the K2 License Wizard and managed through the SabreTooth License
Manager, which are installed with K2 system software.
1. To start the licensing process, open the K2 Capture Services utility and on the tab for your capture
service, select the “Use…” checkbox.
If you do not yet have a license, a “…start the process of getting a license now?” message appears.
2. Click Yes and OK to open the K2 License Wizard for the type of license. Refer to K2 Release
Notes for procedures and information on obtaining and managing licenses.
PitchBlue workflow considerations
The K2 Summit system supports the H.264 format used in the PitchBlue workflow. However, you
must consider the intended PitchBlue workflow when using this H.264 media, as it is not supported
for general purpose use outside of the PitchBlue workflow.
The K2 Summit system ingests the PitchBlue material without any error correction. The material
often has anomalies, such as a broken last frame, that the K2 Summit system accepts as-is. When
PitchBlue plays out this material under VDCP automation control, it plays the known-good material
only. PitchBlue determines where the anomalies exist and makes sure that they are not played out.
