Capturing Sources in K2 Clip Format

Detailed Codec Settings when Capturing in K2 Clip Format

The codec settings that support capturing in K2 Clip format are as follows.

[Settings - MPEG2 for K2 Clip] Dialog Box

[Settings - XDCAM HD422 Compatible] Dialog Box

[Settings - XDCAM EX Compatible] / [Settings - XDCAM HD Compatible] Dialog Box

[Settings - MPEG IMX] Dialog Box

[Settings - MPEG2 for K2 Clip] Dialog Box

[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 [Max] lists. You can also enter a value directly.

[Quality/Speed]

Select quality from the list.

[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].
