Setting or button Description
Summit Access Protocols The Summit Access protocol is a common configuration that must be the same for all GV Render Engine servers. Different K2 Summit servers might be accessed via different protocols. Select the Summit Access Protocol for your Render Engine server from the following:
  • FTP: Setting for FTP protocol to be used by Render Engine to access K2 Summits.
  • SMB or iSCSI: Setting for SMB, LAN Connect, or iSCSI protocol to be used by Render Engine to access K2 Summits.
Note: When a Render Engine accesses high-res media on a standalone K2 Summit or a K2 Central server, FTP is ALWAYS the preferred method. It is recommended to use iSCSI or LAN Connect with K2 SAN configurations, and SMB with GV AMS Pro - Advanced Media Storage configurations.
Maximum Concurrent Transcode Jobs Setting to specify the maximum number of concurrent transcode jobs allowed on the Render Engine server.
Maximum Concurrent Proxy Creation Jobs Setting to specify the maximum number of concurrent proxy encoder jobs allowed on the Render Engine server.
Maximum Concurrent Conform Jobs Setting to specify the maximum number of concurrent conform jobs allowed on the Render Engine server.
Maximum Concurrent EDIUS Project Jobs Setting to specify the maximum number of concurrent EDIUS project jobs allowed on the Render Engine server.
Maximum Total Concurrent Jobs Setting to specify the maximum number of total concurrent jobs allowed on the Render Engine server.
Note: The maximum number for the setting is up to 4 concurrent jobs in total.
Note: The total number of maximum concurrent jobs is limited by the number of available simultaneous connections with K2 Summits. If set to zero, the Render Engine does not process jobs of that type. Use these settings to balance resource load on the system hosting the engine.
