About bins
Bins are folders on a K2 system. You can create or delete a bin on a K2 system, but
bins cannot be renamed from K2 Dyno PA.
About repositories
A K2 Dyno PA repository can be used to transfer, import or export assets. A repository
acts as a shortcut to a location on the network that can be used to transfer assets from
or to Dyno PA. If you delete a repository from Dyno PA, the shortcut is deleted; the
assets in the repository itself are not affected.
In Dyno PA there are two types of repositories:
• K2 system repository
K2 system repositories simply represent a bin on a K2 system in Dyno PA. Creating
a K2 system repository allows you quick access to that bin. For example, if a bin
is nested under several parent folders on a K2 system, creating a K2 system-based
repository for this bin displays it under the top-level repository section in the
Navigator pane, which makes it easy to locate. As a repository, you can also give
the bin to a name more applicable to your particular workflow.
• File System repository
File system repositories import and export assets to and from K2 systems. Examples
of file-system based repositories include: a USB drive mounted on a connected
PC, a Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive, or an Apple Macintosh-shared drive.
About K2 Dyno PA User Interface
The K2 Dyno PA user interface is composed of several panes that can be hidden or
dragged to different areas of the screen. Highlighted items, such as bins, playlists, or
managed channels, are displayed with a blue background.
