Data VBI MXF supports either ancillary data packets or VBI lines in the data track but not both, so if ancillary data packets and VBI lines have been recorded into the K2 clip’s data track, then the VBI lines will be dropped from the MXF data track on an MXF export.
Ancillary
Interchange mechanisms are supported as follows:
Mechanism Support
File based Import Yes
Export Yes
FTP stream Import Yes
Export Yes

With a special export option, you can export a completed continuous (loop) record clip as MXF or QuickTime, with the result being a flattened stream file. Recording must be complete before you export the clip, however you can make sub-clips while record is underway and export the sub-clips. For this feature, MPEG-2 long GoP is not supported.
