About importing and exporting streaming media

You can transfer media between a K2 Summit/Solo system and other Grass Valley media devices using the Import and the Send to features. The K2 system supports streaming media transfers over the FTP/streaming network. Source or destination devices for a streaming transfer include K2 Summit/Solo system. The format for such streaming is GXF. You must configure your network for streaming transfers prior to using these features.

Note: If importing to or exporting from other products, you must first add the remote host in Configuration Manager.

A transfer job is created for each “import” or “send to” operation. Once created, transfer jobs are added to the transfer job queue where they are dispatched in a first in, first out basis. Transfer jobs are handled in the order they appear in the queue. A standalone K2 Summit/Solo system can handle up to four concurrent transfer jobs. Any additional, up to 100 requests at a time, wait in the queue. You can use the Transfer Monitor to check the status of your transfer requests.

Note: The bit rate while streaming clips between machines is not symmetrical. For example, when streaming to a remote machine the data rate can be twice as fast as the rate streaming from a remote machine. This is due to the way transfer statistics are measured.
