Glossary
Ancillary Data
Digital data carried in the non-active video regions of a serial digital interface (SDI)
stream as defined by SMPTE 291M.
AppCenter
An application framework that runs on a K2 Media Client. AppCenter provides a
single interface to control channels and channel suites to record, play, or manage
media assets such as clips and playlists.
Assignable Buttons
Buttons that can be assigned to different functions than their current ones. You can
change the order that buttons appear in some button groups to better suit your
workflow. Clicking and holding on a button causes a pop-up menu to appear that lists
the alternative button choices for the button.
Bin
A container used to organize assets like clips and lists in the same way as directories
or folders are used on a typical computer system. A bin is associated with a single disk
volume.
Channel
A set of resources that together have the ability to record or play media.
Channel Application
An application in a setting in an AppCenter channel that designates the channel to
perform a specific task such as recording or playing. When AppCenter starts, each
channel comes up in an application.
Channel Pane
Displays each channel in its current mode. Only one channel can be selected at a time.
The currently selected channel is displayed with transport controls, View tabs, and a
white background.
Channel Suite
A collection of up to 16 channels. Channels can be accessed through channel suites.
Channel suites allow you to customize the channels to run particular applications or
save the clips to specific locations.
CIFS
CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocol permits client access to assets through
a common file-sharing method that provides the ability to remotely browse shared
folders and to read, write, edit, copy, delete and update files. CIFS access is
appropriate for applications that don’t require real-time response to file access or for
applications that don’t require the movement of large volumes of media.
Clip Thumbnail
Used for visual identification of a clip. By default, the thumbnail is generated from
the 16th frame of video. You can select a new thumbnail using Player. If no thumbnail
is available, an icon is displayed showing there is no thumbnail.
