Grass Valley K2 System Guide v.9.0 - Manual (Page 113)

By default, the service does not start automatically. If you have never configured or used the service,
it is set to startup type Manual. When you configure the service for the first time, the service is set
to startup type Automatic. However, if you upgrade or otherwise re-install your K2 System Software,
the service is re-set to startup type Manual. Therefore, you must re-configure the service after K2
System Software upgrade/reinstall in order to set the startup type back to Automatic.
You configure the watched bin to export the K2 media as your desired clip format. After you place
the K2 clip in the watched bin, the capture service goes into action and validates the media to make
sure it has the proper structure for the desired file format. If it is valid, the capture service then does
the necessary processing to export the clip to the destination folder.
The Export capture service and its watched bin must be on a K2 system that hosts the K2 FTP
interface, as follows:
• Stand-alone K2 system — When you place a K2 clip in the watched bin, the capture service
exports the clip from the internal storage or direct-connect media storage of the K2 system. The
watched bin must be on the K2 system’s V: drive.
• K2 Media Server with role of FTP server — When you place a K2 clip in the watched bin, the
capture service exports the clip from the shared media storage of the K2 SAN. The watched bin
must be on the K2 Media Server’s V: drive.
Prerequisites for using the Export capture service
Before you can configure and use the Export capture service, the following requirements must be
satisfied:
• The K2 system must support the clip format you plan to export. This could require specific
hardware and/or licenses.
• K2 system software must be at a version that supports the Export capture service. Refer to K2
Release Notes for information on Export capture service version compatibility.
• The capture service must be licensed on the stand-alone K2 system or K2 Media Server. This is
a Grass Valley software license.
Use topics in this section as appropriate to satisfy prerequisites.
Considerations and requirements for using the Export capture service
When you are configuring and using the Export capture service, do the following:
• 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 the destination folder (for export) is on a remote machine, you must configure the "movie"
user account as a local user account on that machine. The "movie" user account is not supported
as a domain administrator account. Configure the account as follows:
• Username: movie
• Password: M0vieK2M0vie
The password uses the number zero character, not the letter O character.
