Importing streaming media

K2 Summit/Solo system allows playout of movies that are still transferring in. Make sure the bandwidth of the import task is greater than the media bit rate.

Note: The appearance of the asset list and file open dialog boxes is determined by the View Option setting. Use the Clips Pane context menu to choose Image or Text view.
  1. In the Clips Pane, select the bin to which you want to stream media. The current bin will be the destination bin for the import operation.
  2. Select Clips | Import.

    The Import dialog box opens.

  3. Click Stream.
  4. In the Source section, browse to locate and select the source clip. (For some cross-product transfers, depending on software versions, you might need to specify the volume, bin, and media asset name. Refer to release notes for specifications.)

    The Look in label shows the current location. The list under the Look in label displays the contents of the current location. You can select items in the list such as machine, disk volume or a bin, to explore its contents.

    Clicking the up-arrow button moves up one directory level in the storage hierarchy.

    The Look in drop-down list allows you to choose from one of the most recent source locations visited (history).

  5. In the Destination section, Bin Name displays the name of the current bin which specifies the destination bin.
  6. Specify a clip name, if desired, by clicking the Clip Name edit control.
  7. Click Import to start the transfer.
Note: Import is a background task and can be monitored using the Transfer Monitor.
