Configuring play channel video settings

  1. If you are using a channel suite with channels from multiple sources, select a channel from the K2 Summit/Solo system that you want to configure.
  2. In AppCenter, click System | Configuration. Configuration Manager opens.
  3. Click Channel, and select a channel.
  4. Scroll to locate and configure settings as follows:
    For this setting... Configure as needed...
    Type If licensed for AppCenter Elite you can configure the channel to be a ChannelFlex Suite Channel. When you do so, settings change accordingly.
    Name If desired, enter a name for the channel.
    Video Output NTSC or PAL available depending on video reference standard setting.
    Aspect ratio Select a HD or SD format.
    Aspect ratio conversion Select the conversion option. Refer to topics about aspect ratio conversions.
    Still-play mode Determines how to generate the still-play signal for the play channel when it is setup to freeze on last frame of video in stop mode. You can select the following:
    • Field (interpolated): This is the default setting and uses the content of one field for both fields during still-play for a one field freeze. This mode eliminates the motion jitter that can be present in Interlaced mode.
    • Frame (interlaced): This mode displays two fields in still play mode for a two field freeze. With this mode you might see some motion jitter in still-play.
    Test Mode (Colorbars + Tone) Temporarily displays 75% colorbar signal on the channel output. It also generates an audio tone on all audio outputs. This setting is for test purposes only, so it is not saved.
    Video Output Timing Delays the video output.
    Ancillary data timecode output If 720p or 1080i selected, inserts the recorded timecode track as ancillary timecode on playout. Overrides any ancillary timecode packets stored on data track. Refer to specifications about data track support.
    VITC output generator If SD is selected, you can select VITC lines.
    AFD Settings Defines AFD in clips output from the K2 Summit/Solo system. You can select the following:
    • Record AFD as clip property:
      • Yes – When an AFD setting is present it is set as the default in clip properties. This is the default K2 system behavior.
      • No – When an AFD setting is present it is not set in clip properties.
    • Generate AFD on Output:
      • Always – As automatically determined by the K2 system.
      • When Known – As set in clip properties.
      • Never – Pass-through any AFD already present.
    • SD 16:9 Full screen up-conversion AFD: Select AFD code1010 or 1001, as required by your site's downstream processing. This does not affect the visual display at the K2 system output.
