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

Video network performance

K2 systems support streaming transfers to and from K2 Summit/Solo system, K2 Media Clients,

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).
