Recording synchronous and asynchronous feeds
For best results in all workflows, use synchronous feeds, defined as follows:
- All outputs are locked to the house reference
- All inputs are genlocked to the house reference and at zero time
The K2 Summit Production Client can record inputs that are asynchronous, with the following considerations:
- The encoder clock and the audio clock are derived from the input signal, which enables frame accurate recording of all inputs.
- Outputs are timed to the reference and if no reference is present, the output runs free.
- If the input video rate does not equal the output video rate (asynchronous), then video tearing or jumping can occur when input/output synch is critical, such as in the following:
