Make sure that you create a
“first birthday” image of each K2 Dyno S Replay Controller shortly after
installation and configuration is complete. Refer to the K2 Dyno
Replay Controller Service Manual for procedures.
Live mode latency and the
time it takes to switch between video inputs is not the same for all
compression types. HD has the shortest latency and long GOP MPEG types like
XDCAM have more latency. The HD compression type provides the best performance
overall.
The Dyno/Summit Replay
system allows you to switch between highlights with different compression types
as well as mix types in a playlist. It takes a small amount of time for the
player to switch between compression types, and this time should be considered
when doing the following:
While switching
compression types in a playlist, transitions are ignored.
When playing Super
Slo-Mo material faster than its default speed (33% or 50%), there may be a short
pause when switching to a compression type other than DVCPRO HD.
When playing back 3D
(video + key) material, use a single compression type. Transitions are ignored
when playing back 3D material.
Decoding long GOP MPEG
can take extra time depending on the position of the GOP at the start of the
highlight. When you use AutoPlay to start a long GOP MPEG highlight, you may
see a short pause before playback begins. Instead of using AutoPlay, select a
highlight to pre-load it, and then press the
Take button
Flying M/E transitions
are limited to 0.5 seconds or less. Playlist transitions can be up to 2 seconds
long.
Single Mark mode has been
deferred.
If you stop and then
resume recording, do not create a highlight that spans the boundary between the
old and new recording.
The Dyno record loop
algorithm allows you to record an event over several days. It does not allow
you to loop forever. Some file system resources are consumed keeping track of
the erased portions of the file and eventually run out. Please plan
appropriately.
When upgrading from a Dyno
version before 2.0, highlight guard bands are preserved, but clip marks are
not.
If you are not able to get a session to go into Record,
check at the Home screen in Dyno to see if there is available record space
(sessions may need to be deleted to create adequate space). Incoming sources may
not be in Sync. Stop the session, close AppCenter, route “locked” sources such
as Black or Bars and restart AppCenter. Launch the session that was intended to
be used.
If sending a clip to an external storage device fails, permission to write to
that location may not have been established. Through Windows, gain permission,
or create a new folder while determining a Send Path in the Config/Network area
of the Dyno. This will give the Dyno permission to write to that location.
