Enabling Pinnacle import
Before you import your Pinnacle material, familiarize yourself with the configuration
options in the following procedure.
1. To import Pinnacle material, create the following registry value.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Grass Valley Group\Streaming
REG_DWORD “ImportPinnacleStreams” = 1
Without this registry value, the K2 system does not handle the import correctly.
2. Do one of the following:
• If do not want to import captions and timecode from your Pinnacle material, skip
the remainder of this procedure. No further configuration is necessary.
• If you want to import captions and timecode from your Pinnacle material,
continue with this procedure. Read each step carefully and proceed only if you
are sure that your Pinnacle material is suitable.
3. To optionally import VITC from Pinnacle clips, proceed with this step as
appropriate.
• If you know that VITC was not recorded on your Pinnacle material in the
Pinnacle-private uncompressed VBI data, skip to the next step. Do not create a
registry value.
• If you know that your Pinnacle material was recorded with VITC as
Pinnacle-private uncompressed VBI lines and you want to preserve this
timecode when you import the content into the K2 system, then create the
following registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Grass Valley Group\Streaming
REG_DWORD “ExtractPinnacleVitc” = 1
This instructs the K2 system to extract and preserve the VITC.
4. To optionally import captions from Pinnacle clips, proceed with this step as
appropriate.
• If you know that captions were not recorded on your Pinnacle material in the
Pinnacle-private uncompressed VBI data, skip the remainder of this procedure.
Do not create a registry value.
• If you know that your Pinnacle material was recorded with closed captions or
teletext data as Pinnacle-private uncompressed VBI lines and you want to
preserve the captions when you import the content into the K2 system, then
create the following registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Grass Valley Group\Streaming
REG_DWORD “ExtractPinnacleCaptions” = 1
This instructs the K2 system to extract and preserve the captions.
When you are no longer using the K2 system to import Pinnacle material, you can
delete all of the above registry values that you created to support the import.
