System description

K2 system

The K2 system can be a K2 Summit Production Client or a K2 Solo Media Server. The K2 Summit system has four video channel connections. Each channel can be configured as either a recorder or a player. The K2 Solo system has two video channel connections, making it one half of a K2 Summit system. With ChannelFlex (a feature of K2 AppCenter Elite), a record channel can be split to record two streams of video.

The K2 Dyno S Replay System supports both 3G and non-3G K2 Summit/Solo systems. The K2 Summit 3G system is pictured here.

The Dyno S Replay Controller controls the K2 system video streams no matter how the K2 system is configured.

K2 Dyno S Replay Controller

Many of the functions of the K2 Dyno S Replay Controller are operated from the large touch screen. Three key elements of the touch screen are Tabs, Slots, and Bins.

Tabs: The column of SoftKeys on the left side of the screen providing access to primary functions.

Figure 1. All tabs

Slots: The numbered storage locations for elements viewable under tabs such as highlights and playlists.

Bins: A collection of like items. A bin is similar to a PC Folder. You can have multiple bins with highlights, playlists, or search results. Additional bins are accessed on the touch screen by tapping the bar at the top of the screen that contains a bin name.

Key terms

Terms	Description
Session	The bin that holds all the items from a recording period. A session includes record streams, clips, playlists and anything created during the period of recording. A session is transient; it is not permanent. You can delete a session, but doing so deletes all elements of that period of recording. Session management is a key item for success in using the K2 Dyno Replay Controller. You can save a session and open another but in so doing you must consider recordable space. The contents of the session might take up a large amount of recordable space, since the session does include the complete record train.
Clip	A segment of video selected and saved for future use. It can be used for individual playback or for addition to a playlist. It can be configured to save just one record stream or all streams being recorded at the points that defined it.
