3. Enter the paths to the source directory and destination bin, which are defined as
follows:
• Source Directory — This is the watched folder. It is a standard file system
directory. It must be on the K2 system’s V: drive. When media files, then a valid
XML file, are placed in this directory, the XML Import capture service
automatically creates a K2 clip in the K2 media storage.
• Destination Bin — The clip bin in the K2 media storage that receives the media
processed by the K2 XML Import capture service. The destination bin is in the
K2 media database and it appears in AppCenter as a media bin. The bin must be
on the K2 system’s V: drive. If you specify a destination bin name that does not
yet exist, the K2 system creates it when the K2 clip is created.
4. For Check Frequency, it is recommended that you accept the default value. This
value specifies how often you want the capture service to check the source
directory for new files.
5. For the Cleanup Frequency, it is recommended that you accept the default value.
This value specifies the maximum age of files in the source directory. The
capture service deletes files that are older than this age .

7. A success message displays. Click OK . The XML Import capture service starts up
and continues to run after you exit.
The service immediately checks the source directory for any files that are beyond
the specified cleanup age and deletes them from the directory.
