5. You can now use the mapped network drive as a source or destination for file

To import a file
Use the following procedures to import a video file.
When you import media from a file, the media is converted and stored using the K2
system native file format.
The file to be imported must be in a verified source location for file import. Examples
of verified sources are as follows:
• When using AppCenter on an internal storage K2 Summit Production Client or K2
Solo Media Server and the source is a local drive, the local drive is a verified
source. It is not necessary to share a folder or map a drive.
• When using AppCenter on an external storage K2 Summit Production Client and
the source is a local drive on the external storage K2 Summit Production Client,
create a verified source as follows:
- On the external storage K2 Summit Production Client, share a folder.
- On the external storage K2 Summit Production Client, map the shared folder
as a network drive.
• When using AppCenter on a Control Point PC and the source is a local drive on the
Control Point PC, create a verified source as follows:
- On the Control Point PC, share a folder.
- On the Control Point PC, map the shared folder as a network drive.

folder.
- On the Control Point PC, map the shared folder as a network drive.
