Configuring encoders for K2 BaseCamp Express

If your system includes a K2 Storage System and Aurora Proxy Encoders, you need
to point the encoder to the K2 FTP server.

The encoders used with K2 BaseCamp Express uses an external FTP server for
low-res generation. When using the BaseCamp Express server for low-res generation,
it can only have one encode stream configured. If a Proxy Encoder server is used, it
can have up to 4 SD encode streams configured. You must create and configure an
Encoder MDI for each stream on the encoder.

For K2 BaseCamp Express servers running in a basic K2 system-only configuration,
configure the encoder to use the K2 FTP server as shown in the following illustration.

In an Aurora System environment, the encoder need to access the K2-Aurora FTP
server. The K2-Aurora FTP server has the Aurora Asset software installed on the K2
FTP server. The encoder configuration for the Aurora setup is show in the following
illustration.
