Configuring the HotBin service

transferred as the fifteenth clip in the transfer queue. Unlike the normal transfer
process, the HotBin service does not queue the second clip until the first clip is
imported.

To configure the HotBin service (Grass Valley File-Import Watcher), follow these
steps:

1. From the

Start

menu, access the

Programs

menu and select

Grass Valley | K2

Capture Services

.

2. The K2 Capture Services utility dialog box is displayed. Click on the HotBin tab.

3. Enter the paths to the source directory and destination bin. If the source directory

does not currently exist, it will automatically be created.

4. Specify how often you want the folder checked for new files and

the file deletion

age for files in the Success and Fail sub-directories

, and click

Apply

.

5. If the source directory is not on the local K2 system, a User Account dialog box

displays. Enter the user information that you use to access the source directory. If
part of a domain, enter the domain name. Click

OK

.

6. A success message displays. Click

OK

. The HotBin service (Grass Valley

File-Import Watcher) will keep running after you exit.

The HotBin service immediately checks the source directory for files. If files are
present, the HotBin service moves them to the Archive sub-directory. It does not
import the files into the destination bin on the K2 system.

7. Place files in the source directory to trigger the Hot Bin import processes.
