MXF Export Type

When importing and exporting MXF the K2 system behaves as follows, in relation to the MXF Export Type setting in K2Config or in K2 AppCenter:
  • The MXF Export Type setting applies to all MXF exports on the K2 system. There is one setting for one K2 system. The K2 system can be a stand-alone K2 Summit/Solo system or a K2 SAN. If a K2 SAN, the one setting applies to the K2 Media Server with role of FTP server that handles exports for all SAN-attached K2 Summit systems.
  • For export, the K2 system must be set to one of the following MXF Export Types:
    • 377M: SMPTE ST 377:2004 compliant. Ensures compatibility with older products.
    • 377-1: SMPTE ST 377-1:2009 compliant.
    • ARD and 377-1: ARD is only for AVC-Intra Class 100 (720p and 1080i PAL only) and XDCAMHD-422 (1080i PAL only).
  • By default the K2 system is set to SMPTE ST 377:2004. This setting is only applicable to the MXF op1a import and export.
  • The SMPTE ST 377:2004 setting is recommended for compatibility with older systems which do not support SMPTE ST 377-1:2009.
  • The following format does not support SMPTE ST 377-1:2009 export. Therefore the format is always exported as SMPTE ST 377:2004, regardless of the MXF Export Type setting:
    • D10 media
  • ARD profile is the MXF profile based only on AVC-Intra Class 100 and XDCAMHD-422 formats for compliance with ARD consortium.
  • The following format does not support ARD export. Therefore the format is always exported as SMPTE ST 377-1:2009, when ARD and 377-1 option is selected:
    • DV media
    • Avid DNxHD media
    • Media in NTSC format
  • For import, both SMPTE ST 377:2004 and SMPTE ST 377-1:2009 are supported, regardless of the MXF Export Type setting. The MXF Export Type setting affects export only.
