About Super Slo-Mo
This feature is part of the ChannelFlex Suite, which requires the AppCenter Elite license. This feature also requires HD, 3G, and AVC licenses.
You can connect a Super Slo-Mo camera to two or three SDI inputs on a K2 Summit system channel. You must configure the channel to record Super Slo-Mo. When so configured, the channel is record-only, not bi-directional record/play. The K2 Summit system records Super Slo-Mo at 2x frame rate, 3x frame rate, or 6x frame rate, as configured. This creates a Super Slo-Mo clip. A Super Slo-Mo clip contains no audio or ancillary data.
The K2 Summit system accommodates LTC, ancLTC, or ancVITC timecode for a Super Slo-Mo clip as follows:
- A Super Slo-Mo clip contains embedded timecode extracted from Super Slo-Mo phase 1.
- For 2x frame rate, timecode repeats every two frames.
- For 3x frame rate, timecode repeats every three frames.
- For 6x frame rate, timecode repeats every six frames.
The result is that a Super Slo-Mo clip can function as if it has 1x clip length and timecode, even though it is actually 2x, 3x, or 6x times longer.
A Super Slo-Mo channel is in E-to-E (LoopThru) mode.
You can play the Super Slo-Mo clip on a standard bi-directional record/play channel. SDI OUT2 provides the Super Out feature on phase 1.
Import/Export and GXF transfer of a Super Slo-Mo clip are supported with other K2 Summit system systems at version 7.1.x software or higher.
An indicator icon that a clip is a Super Slo-Mo clip appears in the Clips pane and in clip properties. The indicator icon displays accordingly as follows:
- S2 — 2x Super Slo-Mo clip
- S3 — 3x Super Slo-Mo clip
- S6 — 6x Super Slo-Mo clip
