Grass Valley GV STRATUS v.3.1 - Manual (Page 300)

Bin nesting limitations
The K2 media database supports nine levels of nested bins. This includes the top level (first) bin.
Exceeding this specification results in a database error. When creating a bin do not create a bin at
level ten or deeper.
For example:
• The following is supported:
default\en\fr\es\de\it\be\dk\cn
• The following is not supported:
default\en\fr\es\de\it\be\dk\cn\jp
Formats supported for import and export
When you import or export files using the GV STRATUS application, your K2 Summit/SAN system
does the actual import/export. Therefore, if a format is supported for import/export in the GV
STRATUS application, it must be supported on the K2 Summit/SAN system.
The following formats are supported for import/export using the GV STRATUS application:
• GXF
• MXF
• QuickTime
In addition, the following formats are supported for import/export on K2 Summit/SAN systems. By
using the K2 AppCenter application or other file interchange mechanisms supported on K2
Summit/SAN systems, these formats can be used to make assets available to the GV STRATUS
system:
• AVI
• MPEG
• P2
• WAV
Refer to topics in this section for detailed information about file interchange with these formats.
About file interchange mechanisms on K2 systems
K2 Summit, Solo, and SAN systems can send and receive files as follows:
• File based import/export — This is based on a file that is visible from the operating system. For
example, AppCenter import/export features are file based.
• HotBin import/export — This is file based import/export, with automated features that are
triggered when a clip is placed in a bin. Some HotBin functionality requires licensing.
• FTP stream — This is file interchange via File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
