Configuring the AS-02 Capture Service

Note: Once configured, the service deletes files in the watched folder or bin (source) that are older than the specified cleanup frequency.
  1. 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.
  2. Click the AS02 Import tab.

  3. Select Use AS02Import. If you have not yet licensed the AS-02 Import 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
