• When using AppCenter on a Control Point PC and the source is a local drive on a K2 Summit/Solo
system you are accessing with AppCenter, create a verified source as follows:
• On the K2 Summit/Solo system, share a folder.
• On the Control Point PC, map the shared folder as a network drive.
NOTE: The appearance of the asset list and file open dialog boxes is determined by the Options
setting.
To import a video file, do the following:
1. Verify the current bin. The current bin is the destination directory for the import operation.

3. In the AppCenter main menu, select Clips | Import .
The Import dialog box opens.
4. Click File .
5. In the Source section, browse to locate and select the source file.
The Look in label shows the current location. The list under the Look in label displays the contents
of the current location. The Import dialog automatically filters the list of files to show only the
type of files that can be imported (such as .gxf, .mxf, and so on). You can select items in the list
(such as a machine, drive, or folder) to explore its contents.
Clicking the up-arrow button moves up one directory level in the storage hierarchy.
The Look in drop-down list allows you to choose from one of the most recent source locations
visited (history).
6. Verify the destination directory indicated next to Bin Name . This is where the imported file is
placed.
7. Modify the clip name, if needed, by selecting the Clip Name edit control.

If you are importing a video file, the import begins. You do not need to continue with the next
