Description and User Operation

Control

scroll through the list using the up/down arrow keys on an
external keyboard. Right-click to open the Asset Context menu.

You can change how assets are shown by selecting the view
option. View options include Image (thumbnail), Text, or Details
(includes thumbnail and detailed text).

Assets recorded using a different video standard or compression
type than the current system setting cannot be loaded and played
on the K2 Summit Production Client. For example, if you record
a PAL clip, you cannot play it on a channel that is configured
for NTSC. These assets appear “grayed” in the Clips pane asset
list.

Terms used in the Clips pane

The following table describes the terms used in the Clips pane.

Description

Asset

A container used to organize assets, similar to a directory or folder on a
computer. A bin is contained within a disk volume. The K2 system supports
nested bins, that is, a bin contains another bin.

Bin

The current bin functions as the target bin when recording clips, or as the source
bin when loading clips. The current bin contents are listed in the Clips pane.
The V:/default bin is created automatically. The name default cannot be edited
and the bin cannot be deleted.

Current Bin

The K2 Summit/Solo system media storage disk volume is formatted using the
K2 system media file system. The disk volume uses the drive letter ‘V:’. The
disk volume can be internal or it can be part of the K2 external storage system.

Disk Volume

A sequence of events that can be loaded and played using the Playlist mode.
Playlists are created in the Playlist application by adding clips or programs to
a list.

Playlist

Media is the video, audio, and timecode source material recorded on the disk
drives. Each media type is stored in its own file, which is referenced by one
or more clips for playback.

Media

A clip references the media files stored on the media drives to allow playback
of the video and associated audio and timecode recorded from a single source.
Deleting a clip deletes the media referenced by the clip only if it is not
referenced by another clip. You can use the Find Links feature to find related
assets.
