software does not create the MXF reference file when you create a playlist, a program with
continuous-recorded material, or a clip with tracks having a duration less than the clip duration. The

connections, access, and software to support your workflow requirements.

Configuring reference file type on a K2 SAN system
1. In the K2Config application, for the K2 Media Server with role of file system server, access the
File System Server Configuration page as follows:
• On a SAN that is already configured, in the tree view click File System Server .
• On a SAN that is not yet fully configured, work through the Configure K2 Server wizard until
you reach the File System Server Configuration page.
2. On the File System Server Configuration page select one of the following:
• No reference file — K2 software does not create reference files.
• QuickTime reference file — K2 software creates QuickTime reference files.
• MXF reference file — K2 software creates MXF reference files.
3. Click Check to apply the setting.
4. Manage the required K2 Media Server restart as follows:
• On a SAN that is already configured, you must restart the K2 Media Server to put the change
into effect. Follow the restart procedure appropriate for the basic or redundant K2 SAN.
• On a SAN that is not yet fully configured, continue to work through the Configure K2 Server
wizard. The restart at the end of the configuration process is sufficient.
If a redundant K2 SAN, you must configure similarly and restart both K2 Media Servers with role
of file system server.
