Active Format Description (AFD) specifications

Note: This topic applies to K2 Summit system systems.

Active Format Description (AFD) settings automatically determine the proper aspect ratio to use for up- and down-conversions, based on the AFD information embedded in the clip metadata. If no AFD was set on the incoming SDI input, you can assign the AFD setting in K2 AppCenter. A related setting, aspect ratio conversion (ARC), makes settings in K2 AppCenter on a clip-by-clip basis or per channel basis but does not embed settings in clip metadata.
