K2 Dyno S Universe replay systems

K2 Dyno S Universe - This release introduces two replay systems optimized for 6X or 4K operation, although they’re both fully 6X/4K switchable. This takes advantage of existing K2 Summit 3G Client servers, SSD drives, and new shared sessions for exceptional performance. The 6X optimized system is 4RU, and is based on two K2 Summit server systems. The 4K optimized system is 6RU, and is based on three K2 Summit server systems. Both of these systems operate as integrated systems which are controlled as a single server with K2 Dyno S controllers.

Format Optimization	6X	4X
Frame size	4RU	6RU
I/O	6-in/2-out	4-in/2-out
Channels	24	36
K2 Summits	2	3
Dyno S	1	1

The new 4RU K2 Dyno S Universe footprint is still smaller than the (6RU) single EVS server but it delivers more than double the channel capacity. Now, all 6X and 4K workflows are possible, using the same number of operators. This minimizes OPEX, and system scalability is delivered by connecting multiple system “pods” together over blazing fast 10GigE ShareFlex connectivity.

The K2 Dyno S Universe replay systems are an integral part of 4K live production and high-speed replay solutions from Grass Valley. In combination with the LDX 86 Universe cameras, they deliver unique and powerful acquisition and replay capabilities.

By combining the sharpness of the 6X acquisition and K2 Dyno Universe’s AnySpeed variable speed replay, producers can reveal what the human eye cannot see at very low speed playback.

With Anyspeed, broadcasters can also quickly and smoothly move to the action replay, and then slow down to highlight the details, while avoiding excessively long replay times.

To get even closer to the action, DynoZoom allows replay controllers to pan and zoom into a portion of the picture where the story is unfolding.

Better action shots are also driven by K2 Dyno S Universe’s ability to offer each operator 4 to 6 video angles to choose from, instead of just one or two angles with traditional replay systems.

Current K2 Dyno systems that include K2 Summit 3G servers with SSD on board, can also take advantage of upgrading to 10GigE connection boards and therefore bringing multiple servers together, to act as one.

With two packages, 4RUand 6RU, this system offers standard workflows without the necessity to add more operators.

6RU K2 Dyno S Universe 4K system with SSD storage and Shared Sessions

Super-fast 10GigE connectivity between system pods, allows for the same ShareFlex workflows. Clips, playlists, bins, and libraries can be shared and you can allow two operators to collaborate on the same project at the same time. You can use the K2 Dyno S' Favorites Bar to allow quick access to other K2 Dyno S replay system recordings, clips, playlists, and bins.
