Grass Valley K2 System Guide v.9.0 - Manual (Page 106)

• The K2 XML Import capture service must be licensed on the stand-alone K2 system or K2 Media
Server. This is a Grass Valley software license.
• The application that pushes the media files and XML file to the watched folder must provide
valid files according to K2 XML Import capture service requirements. Developers of applications
can contact Grass Valley Developer Support for more information
Use topics in this section as appropriate to satisfy prerequisites.
Considerations for using the XML import capture service
When you are configuring and using the K2 XML 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 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.
• 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 media files, then the XML file, must be 100% complete before the K2 XML
Import capture service begins to create the clip in K2 media storage.
Configuring the XML Import Capture Service
NOTE: Once configured, the service deletes files in the watched folder or bin (source) that are
older than the specified cleanup frequency.
