2. Browse to the location of the media in your K2 bin structure.
The QuickTime reference path/file is named according to the convention \\
name>\.mov .
If accessing media on a K2 version 7.x system, all the files associated with the clip are in the
\\ directory.
3. Do one of the following:
• If your access method is file transfer via Flip4Mac (FTP), transfer the QuickTime reference
file to the local Macintosh system, then open the file in Final Cut Pro and Save As to the
location of your work in progress.
• If your access method is file transfer via direct file copy, copy all the files associated with
the clip to the local Macintosh system, then open the QuickTime reference file in Final Cut
Pro and Save As to the location of your work in progress.
• If your access method is edit-in-place, open the QuickTime reference file in Final Cut Pro.
4. Edit the file as desired.
5. When you have finished material that you have created in Final Cut Pro, export it to the K2
system.
Export to K2 storage
When exporting media to K2 storage, Final Cut Pro export options must be constrained so that the
resulting media is playable on a K2. The exported media must match the frame rate of movies
supported on the K2 system. This is especially important in XDCAM where there are 25, 29.97/30,
50 and 59.94/60 rates.
1. Create the Final Cut Pro clip with a single track of video.
2. Save the Final Cut Pro clip with a .mov extension.
3. Use the Final Cut Pro "Using QuickTime Conversion" method to export the Final Cut Pro clip
as a stream movie to the K2 HotBin.
Make sure the frame rate is supported on the K2 system.
For material originally recorded on a K2 system, supported frame rates are as follows:
• If you are exporting 1080i material the frame rate must be "Current" or 60 (50 for PAL).
• If you are exporting 720p material the frame rate must be "Current" or 60.
• If you are exporting 720p material for 1080i conversions the frame rate must be 60 (50 for
PAL).
The HotBin imports the clip into the K2 system as K2 media. As a by-product of the import, the K2
system creates a QuickTime reference file for the new K2 media.
Connecting RS-422 K2 Summit/Solo 3G system
You can control the K2 system with remote control devices and software developed for the K2
system that use industry-standard serial protocols: AMP, BVW, and VDCP. Make RS-422 connections
for protocol control as illustrated:
