You can export a project as a K2 Clip format file.
Before performing these steps, you must configure the connection to the K2 Media server you want to use as the export destination.
The following functions are supported as with the normal file export.
Generating wave information (waveform representation of audio)
Creating exporter presets
Batch export
The following exporters support smart rendering:
[K2 DV Clip]
[K2 DVCPRO HD Clip]
[K2 AVCIntra Clip]
[K2 D10 Clip]
The [K2 MPEG2 Clip] exporter supports segment encoding.

1) Click [Export] on the Recorder.
2) Click [Print to File].
The [Print to File] dialog box appears.
Alternative
Click [File] on the menu bar, and click [Export] → [Print to File].
Exporting to file: [F11]
3) Click [K2] on the category tree.
4) Select an exporter, and click [Export].
Select an exporter from [K2 DV Clip], [K2 DVCPRO HD Clip], [K2 AVCIntra Clip], [K2 D10 Clip], [K2 MPEG2 Clip], [K2 AVCHD Clip], or [K2 DNxHD Clip]. Exporters that do not support the project settings will not be displayed.
5) Configure the settings such as the clip name or export destination.
6) Click [OK].
The icon
indicating that the system is generating a file is displayed on the clips that are being exported in the source browser.
|
[Clip Name] |
Enter a clip name for the file to be exported. |
|
[Destination] |
[Server] Select a file export destination from the list. [Bin] Displays the list of bins in the save destination you selected in [Server]. Select the bin to register captured clips. [Overwrite file when it exists] Check this item to overwrite a file if any file with the same clip name is already registered in the bin in the export destination. |
|
[Sequence settings] |
[Export as a program sequence] Check this item to export sequences as programs. |
|
[Audio Settings] |
[Channels] Select the number of audio channels you want to export from the list. [Bit Depth] Select an audio quantization bitrate from the list. [Ch 1&2] - [Ch 15&16] Select the channel to output bitstream when outputting audio with the audio bitstream retained. |
[Video Setting] is displayed depending on the exporter. For more information on the settings for each exporter, refer to the following.
|
[Format] |
Select an export format from the list. |
|
[Bit Rate] |
Select a bitrate from the list. |
|
[Format] |
Select an export format from the list. |
|
[Format] |
Select an export format from the list. |
|
[Segment Encode] |
Check this item to export a clip of a raw source without re-encoding. This increases the output speed. |
|
[Quality/Speed] |
Select quality from the list. |
|
[Bit Rate] |
Select a bitrate type. [CBR] sets a fixed transfer rate, allocating a fixed number of bits during the encoding process. Select a bitrate from the [Average] list. You can also enter a value directly. [VBR] sets a variable transfer rate, altering the number of assigned bits according to the complexity of the movement or image quality. Compared with [CBR], the media volume can be used more efficiently, and this enables more consistent image quality overall. Select a bitrate from the [Average] and [Maximum] lists. You can also enter a value directly. |
|
[GOP structure] |
For MPEG, a certain number of frames is considered as a group, and operations such as compression/enlargement and cut editing are performed on a GOP basis. A GOP comprises “I frame”, “P frame” and “B frame”. The I frame allows images to be reproduced independently, the P frame is for recording and reproducing only the differences with the preceding image, and the B frame reproduces images from the differences in the preceding and following images. Select I, P and B frame patterns of the GOP from the list. Normally, select [IBBP]. [I-Frame Only] is comprised of only I-pictures. Editing is made easier, but the amount of data increases in size. |
|
[Picture count] |
Set the number of frames included in a group. |
|
[Closed GOP] |
Check this item to complete information within each GOP. Although the amount of data increases, the video can be re-edited using software that supports GOP-based editing. Normally, leave this item unchecked. |
|
[Chroma Format] |
Select a YUV pixel format from the list. |
|
[Profile/Level] |
Select a profile & level. If [Chroma Format] is [4:2:0] and [4:2:2], the profile will be set to Main Profile and 422Profile, respectively. The level for SD image quality will be Main Level, and the level for HD image quality will be High Level. The profile & level changes according to the format selected in [Chroma Format]. |
|
[Bit Rate] |
Select a bitrate from the list. |
|
[Profile] |
Set the profile. The selectable profiles will differ depending on the frame size to be exported. |
|
[Bit Rate Type] |
[CBR] assigns a constant number of bits. Although noise, etc. may be present, the encoding process is made quicker. [VBR] changes the assigned bitrate according to the complexity of the movement or image quality. Compared with [CBR], the media volume can be used more efficiently, and this enables more consistent image quality overall. |
|
[Average] |
Set this item if [CBR] or [VBR] has been selected as the bitrate type. You can either select from the list or enter values directly. |
|
[Max] |
Set this item if [VBR] has been selected as the bitrate type. You can either select from the list or enter values directly. |
|
[Quality] |
Select the image quality from the list. |
|
[GOP Structure] |
Select the GOP structure. |
|
[Picture Count] |
Set the GOP length. |
|
[Multi Slice] |
Check this item to divide 1 frame into 4 parts. If the decoder supports multi-slicing, the decoding may be made quicker. |
|
[Entropy Coding Mode] |
Select the H.264 encoding mode. |
|
[Number of Reference Frames] |
Set up to how many frames should be considered when motion estimation is performed. |
