Check List for Adding a K2 Server for Playback
When adding a K2 server to your workgroup for using Send to Playback, you need to
configure the Interplay Transfer settings and create a FTP server profile.
SD Op1A MXF are generated by Generic FTP DHM modules. The HD Long GOP MXF are
generated by the Avid editing application’s DET modules. The Op1A MXF are transferred
to a target K2 server differently. Therefore, they are configured differently as specified
below.
