same login information. You can export the layout information to an XML file. This
file can be saved as a backup or imported into another Dyno PA client. Another user
can also import this layout, overwriting their own layout.
Layouts can be customized in several ways. If you select Users & Preferences from
the menu, you can:
• Add guard bands: Also referred to as handles, guard bands add seconds to the
beginning and end of an asset. To apply guard bands to an asset, either the transfer
type must be GXF or the transfer must be from and to a K2 Summit system.
• Use Dyno Marks for Transfer/Export: If you check this box, Dyno PA uses Mark
In and Mark Out points that were automatically added to the asset by a Dyno Replay
Controller.
• Create reference file for QuickTime exports:If this box is checked, Dyno PA
creates a Quicktime reference file that an editor can use while the transfer is in
progress.
• When using drag and drop create copy of the asset instead of a shortcut: By
default, dragging and dropping an asset within a K2 system, for example from bin
to bin, creates a shortcut pointing to the orignal asset rather than an entirely new
copy of the asset. If you check this box, Dyno PA creates an entirely new copy of
the asset when you copy and paste.
• Change the list font: Changes the font, size, and style of the text for each pane in
Dyno PA, with the exception of the Browse and Info panes.
• Load or save a layout: You can arrange the Dyno PA panes for your particular
workflow and save the layout, or import a previously saved layout. For information
on how to load or save a layout, see Customizing the K2 Dyno PA User Interface.
Layouts can be customized for a particular workflow. You can close or rearrange the
individual panes (except the Asset List pane).
For example, you could create a login specifically for transferring assets, with only
the following panes showing: Active Transfers, Completed Transfers, Transfer
Scheduler, and Rules. Everytime you log in with that username and password, the
layout would be set up for monitoring transfers.
If you wanted to have one or more users adding keywords to assets (logging), you
could create a layout designed for browsing and logging, with the following panes:
Info, Quick Logging, and Browse.
Sharing assets and information between multiple K2 Dyno PA
clients
You can have multiple K2 Dyno PA clients accessing the same assets, rules, and
searches through one Grass Valley platform service.
If multiple Dyno PA clients share the same Grass Valley platform service, the different
clients share:
