Glossary
Clips Pane

management.
Configuration Manager
A tool in K2 Media Client that configures system settings.
Control Point PC
The software application used to run AppCenter on a K2 Media Client from a
network-connected PC.
Crash Record Mode
A mode that occurs when you start recording without specifying a clip name. The clip

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 models access their own external media storage drives that are
contained in a Lx0 RAID chassis. 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.
Drop Frame Timecode
Drop-frame time code yields precise running times, but frames are not all numbered
sequentially. A frame number must be dropped periodically to keep the clock right.
In non-drop time code, all frames are numbered sequentially, but the ending time code
of a program does not accurately give the program's length.
Ethernet
A local area network used with some remote protocol applications; it operates over
twisted wire and over coaxial cable.
Fibre Channel
A general set of integrated standards developed by ANSI for flexible information
transfer over multiple physical interface types.
