About K2 Dyno PA metadata and logging keywords
You can apply K2 Dyno PA keywords to assets. Dyno PA can also see keywords or
ratings (stars) assigned to assets by K2 Dyno Replay Controllers.
Dyno PA lets you enrich assets with metadata. Metadata, data about data, helps you
search for assets and can be used to trigger automated workflows.
Keywords and keyframes are added to the Quick Logging pane. They can then be
assigned to a specific asset. You can use keywords to search for assets or transfer them
automatically. For example, if you set up a rule that all assets that have a rating of two
stars or higher and are saved to a K2 system will be transferred to a specific bin, Dyno
PA will automatically transfer to that bin all new assets on that K2 system that have
a two star rating or higher.
Keyword categories can be imported to another Dyno PA client that accesses a different
Grass Valley platform service or exported to a K2 Dyno Replay Controller.
The following terms are used in K2 Dyno PA keyword logging:
• Keyword: A word used to describe an asset.
