Glossary
CIFS
CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocol permits client access to assets through
a common file-sharing method that provides the ability to remotely browse shared
folders and to read, write, edit, copy, delete and update files. CIFS access is
appropriate for applications that don’t require real-time response to file access or for
applications that don’t require the movement of large volumes of media.
Clip Thumbnail
Used for visual identification of a clip. By default, the thumbnail is generated from
the 16th frame of video. You can select a new thumbnail using Player. If no thumbnail
is available, an icon is displayed showing there is no thumbnail.
Clips Pane
Displays media stored on the K2 system and provides controls for media
management.
Configuration Manager
A tool in K2 Summit Production Client that configures system settings.
Control Point PC
The software application used to run AppCenter on a K2 Summit Production Client
from a network-connected PC.
Crash Record Mode
A mode that occurs when you start recording without specifying a clip name. The clip
is given a default name.
Cross Conversion
Conversion between two video formats of the same definition (SD or HD). Primarily
used when converting from 1080i to 720p and vice versa.
Direct-connect storage
K2 Media Client and K2 Summit Production Client models access their own external
media storage drives that are contained in a Lx0 RAID chasssis. Referred to as
stand-alone systems. See internal storage, shared storage.
Down Conversion
Conversion of an HD (high definition) video format to an SD (standard definition)
video format.
Drop Frame
Drop frame is a timecode adjustment that applies to NTSC video only. Due to the
framerate of NTSC, a system that normally outputs 30 frames per second must adjust
timecode by subtracting two frames every minute except every tenth minute to
achieve the effective framerate.
