System description

The K2 Dyno S3 Replay System has two main components: A K2 Summit 3G+ Production Server and a K2 Dyno S3 Replay Controller.

K2 system

The K2 system must be the K2 Summit 3G+ Production Server version 10.0 or higher. The K2 Summit system has four video channel connections. Each channel can be configured as either a recorder or a player. With ChannelFlex (a feature of K2 AppCenter Elite), a record channel can be split to record two streams of video.

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

K2 Dyno S3 Replay Controller

Many of the functions of the K2 Dyno S3 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.

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.
