Considerations for using the P2 capture service
When you are configuring and using the K2 P2 Import capture service, bear in mind the following
considerations:
• You must be logged in with administrator privileges on the K2 system as well as having the
appropriate security permissions to access the watched folder or bin.
• If you have multiple source folders (for import) or destination folders (for export) on external
systems, use the same user account for all capture service access to all systems.
• If using the capture service on a K2 SAN, the K2 Capture Services utility and the import watched
folder must be on a K2 Media Server that is also an FTP server. If your K2 SAN has multiple
FTP servers, the utility and folder must be on the primary FTP server.
• You can share the K2 V: drive, so that the Panasonic storage device can access via CIFS.
• P2 content can be dragged/dropped onto the V: drive watch folder from a Panasonic storage
device.
• After the capture service imports media into K2 media storage successfully, the capture service
immediately deletes the original media files from the watched folder. If the import fails, the
original media files are retained in the watched folder for the number of days specified as the
Cleanup Frequency.
• The transfer of the directories/files must be 100% complete before the capture service begins to
create the clip in K2 media storage.
• P2 content is imported as follows:
• A simple clip with striped timecode is created.
• Video (AVC-Intra and DV) track is imported and added to the clip
• Audio tracks are imported and added to the clip
• There is no P2 Import of metadata into the clip
Configuring the P2 Capture Service
NOTE: Once configured, the service deletes files in the watched folder or bin (source) that are
older than the specified cleanup frequency.
