Using reference files
When you create a simple K2 clip on a K2 system, K2 software can create a corresponding reference
file. The reference file is stored in a directory in the clip's folder on the V: drive. You can configure
the software to create QuickTime reference files or MXF reference files. The following topics
provide information about reference files on K2 systems.
About QuickTime reference files
For QuickTime reference files, the K2 clip must be a DV, AVC-Intra, XDCAM-EX, XDCAM-HD,
XDCAM-HD 422, or IMX format simple clip in order to create the reference file. With the QuickTime
reference file you can open the K2 clip with QuickTime tools, such as Final Cut Pro, for playback
and editing. The QuickTime tool must be run on another system. Running the QuickTime player or
other QuickTime tools on the K2 system is not supported. You have options for connections, access,
and software to support your workflow requirements.

the MXF reference file when you record a new simple clip, create a sub-clip, make a shallow copy
of the clip, duplicate the clip, consolidate the clip, edit the clip, or import the clip. K2 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 reference file is a
