Glossary
Clips Pane
Displays media stored on the K2 system and provides controls for media
management.
Configuration Manager
A tool in K2 Media Client that configures system settings.
Control Point PC
The software application used to run AppCenter on a K2 Media Client from a
network-connected PC.
Crash Record Mode
A mode that occurs when you start recording without specifying a clip name. The clip

Cross Conversion
Conversion between two video formats of the same definition (SD or HD). Primarily
used when converting from 1080i to 720p and vice versa.
Down Conversion
Conversion of an HD (high definition) video format to an SD (standard definition)
video format.
Drop Frame
Drop frame is a timecode adjustment that applies to NTSC video only. Due to the
framerate of NTSC, a system that normally outputs 30 frames per second must adjust
timecode by subtracting two frames every minute except every tenth minute to
achieve the effective framerate.
Drop Frame Timecode
Drop-frame time code yields precise running times, but frames are not all numbered
sequentially. A frame number must be dropped periodically to keep the clock right.
In non-drop time code, all frames are numbered sequentially, but the ending time code
of a program does not accurately give the program's length.
Ethernet
A local area network used with some remote protocol applications; it operates over
twisted wire and over coaxial cable.
Fibre Channel
A general set of integrated standards developed by ANSI for flexible information
transfer over multiple physical interface types.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol is a common IT protocol for the bulk movement or transfer of
large volumes of data. K2 Media Servers can handle multiple FTP transfers
simultaneously at faster than real-time speeds.
