iSCSI
Internet SCSI (small computer storage interface) is a storage access protocol that can
use a transport layer such as Gigabit Ethernet rather than be restricted to the short
distances determined by computer hardware buses. K2 Media Servers use iSCSI for
clients that need to deliver media assets with real-time performance. The tuning and
optimizing done by Grass Valley permits the use of iSCSI to deliver unparalleled,
high-throughput, and deterministic performance.
K2 Media Client
A Broadcast Enterprise Server that incorporates IT server platform and storage
technologies. The K2 Media Client can be used with internal, direct-connect, or
shared storage.
Meter bar
Contains the audio record level controls and signal meters for a channel in AppCenter.
Monitor Pane
Displays the current information for the channel. Displays a thumbnail of the clip
currently loaded in the channel and indicates the current application for the channel.
Contains a drop down menu for changing the channel’s application. For the currently
selected channel, the monitor pane is larger and has a white background.
Multi-Cam
A feature in which two of a channel's SDI inputs can be configured to record two
clips. This feature requires special licensing.
Non-Drop Frame Timecode
In non-drop frame timecode, all frames are numbered sequentially, but the ending
timecode of a program does not accurately give the program's length. Drop frame
timecode yields precise running times, but frames are not all numbered sequentially.
A frame number must be dropped periodically to keep the clock right.
Scene
In Dyno, a scene consists of a mark in and mark out point on a record train.
SD
Standard Definition video.
Shared storage
K2 Media Client and K2 Media Client models with shared storage access RAID
protected media storage drives that are part of a K2 Storage System (SAN). The K2
Storage System incorporates one or more RAID chassis, such as K2 Lx0 RAID. See also
direct-connect storage, internal storage.
Status Bar
Displays status and error messages.
Subclip
A clip created by referencing a portion of media from another clip.
