About importing and exporting streaming media
You can transfer media between a K2 Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media
Server and other Grass Valley media devices using the
Import
and the
Send to
features.
The K2 system supports streaming media transfers over the 1Gb Ethernet port. Source
or destination devices for a streaming transfer include K2 Summit Production Client,
K2 Solo Media Server, or Profile XP. The format for such streaming is SMPTE 360M
(*.gxf). You must configure your network for streaming transfers prior to using these
features.
NOTE: If importing to or exporting from other products, such as a Profile XP, you
must first add the remote host in Configuration Manager. For more information, see
“Adding a remote host” on page 148 . To import or export from a Profile XP, the
Windows host file needs to be edited for Profiles. Refer to release notes for
specifications regarding cross-product transfers supported by the particular software
versions. For more information on host files, see the K2 System Guide.
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. K2
Summit Production Client 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.
