filters the list of files to show only the type of files that can be imported (such as

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).

About exporting files
You can export K2 system clips using standard media file formats. For a listing of the
file formats supported, refer to “Operational specifications” on page 204 .
Files can be exported over an Ethernet connection to network drives or to common
forms of removable media. Refer to “About importing and exporting files” on
page 133 for considerations about destination locations.
NOTE: If you export to a file or stream media that has the same name as an asset
already existing in the destination location, an Abort/Rename/Retry dialog box
appears.
About sending files to external drives
Transferring to and from a USB drive is supported on a local internal storage K2
Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server. (You can also transfer files in
K2 Solo Media Server using a PCIE Express card.) USB drive transfers on external
storage K2 Summit Production Clients, K2 Media Servers, or Control Point PCs are
not supported. Grass Valley recommends that the USB drives be disabled except
when in use. To transfer to or from a USB drive on an internal storage K2 Summit
Production Client, the Windows administrator should thus first enable the USB port
using Windows Device Manager. When the transfer is complete, the Windows
administrator should then disable the USB port to prevent unauthorized use. Assets
must be exported to a USB drive one at a time. Attempts to export more than one asset
at the same time will result in the transfer aborting.
The following are operational considerations when sending files to external drives:
