Using AFD with file transfers
The following tables describe the AFD file priorities and the AFD behavior with GXF and MXF transfers.
File transfer AFD priority | |
---|---|
1 | AFD from the MXF or GXF metadata is copied to the K2 clip properties. |
2 | If the MXF stream contains an ancillary data track with AFD ancillary data packets and Active Format Descriptor attribute of the Generic Picture Essence descriptor in the MXF header metadata is absent, then the AFD value for the K2 clip is derived from the AFD ancillary data packet located around 2 seconds into the material. That AFD value is then copied to the K2 clip properties. |
3 | If there is no AFD in the MXF, the GXF, or the data track, then no AFD is set. |
ARC is K2 specific and therefore not included in MXF transfers.
MXF Import | |
---|---|
Imported stream has AFD in the header metadata | AFD is stored in the clip property setting of the clip |
Imported stream has AFD in the data track | AFD is stored in the clip property setting of the clip. (AFD is taken from the ancillary data two seconds from the beginning, or, if the clip is less than 2 seconds long, from the last valid AFD.) |
Imported stream has no AFD | No AFD |
