PitchBlue workflow considerations

The K2 Summit system supports the H.264 format used in the PitchBlue workflow. However, you must consider the intended PitchBlue workflow when using this H.264 media, as it is not supported for general purpose use outside of the PitchBlue workflow.

The K2 Summit system ingests the PitchBlue material without any error correction. The material often has anomalies, such as incomplete last frame, that the K2 Summit system accepts as-is. When PitchBlue plays out this material under VDCP automation control, it plays the known-good material only. The automation playout system tracks the portions of the imported PitchBlue content for playout by interacting with the traffic and other related playout automation components. Anomalies can be identified so that they are not played out. In this way, the automation playout system avoids the errors that would otherwise occur if the material were used for general purpose playout without automation control.

Therefore, you must adhere to the complete PitchBlue workflow from ingest through playout for all PitchBlue material. Do not attempt to play out PitchBlue material except as part of the prescribed PitchBlue workflow.

Note: Playing out PitchBlue material in any other way can cause errors.
