Note: Once configured, the service deletes files in the watched
folder or bin (source) that are older than the specified cleanup frequency.
-
From the Start menu, access the All Programs menu and select
Grass Valley | K2 Capture
Services.
The K2 Capture Services
utility dialog box is displayed.
-
Click the AS02
Import tab.
-
Select Use
AS02Import.

capture service, a “…start the process of getting a license now?” message
appears. Follow on-screen instructions to obtain a license. After licensing,
restart the K2 Capture Services utility and continue with this
procedure.
-
To retain the current version of a clip at the
destination that is named the same as a clip you are importing, select
If a clip exists, import and
generate a new name.
The Hotbin service increments the
file name of the imported clip so it does not overwrite the clip at the
destination.
-
Enter the paths to the source directory and destination bin,
which are defined as follows:
- Source Directory —
This is the watched folder. It is a standard file system directory. It must be
on the K2 system’s V: drive. When valid media is placed in this directory, the
capture service automatically creates a K2 clip in the K2 media storage.
- Destination Bin —
The clip bin in the K2 media storage that receives the media processed by the
capture service. The destination bin is in the K2 media database and it appears
in AppCenter as a media bin. The bin must be on the K2 system’s V: drive. If
you specify a destination bin name that does not yet exist, the K2 system
creates it when the K2 clip is created.
-
For Check Frequency, it is recommended that you accept the
default value. This value specifies how often you want the capture service to
check the source directory for new files.
-
For the Cleanup Frequency, it is recommended that you accept
the default value. This value specifies the maximum age of files in the source
directory. The capture service deletes files that are older than this age.
-
When your capture service settings are complete, click
Apply.
If prompted, restart the K2 system.
The service checks the source directory for any files
that are beyond the specified cleanup age and deletes them from the directory.
