Selecting widescreen mode
With an SD K2 Media Client, you must select the widescreen attribute when
recording video with widescreen aspect ratio— 16:9. The attribute is saved as part of
the MPEG video media file. The attribute is used by the play channel to handle aspect
ratio conversion. Channels on an HD/SD K2 Media Client always record 720p and
1080i video in the 16:9 ratio.
Changing the current bin
On the K2 system, a fixed amount of disk space is reserved for storing media files—
the V:/ partition. Within the V:/ disk partition, your clips and playlists are stored in
bins which function like directories in a file system. You can organize your media by
creating and removing bins in AppCenter. If you have channels from multiple K2
Media Clients in one channel suite, the clips displayed are those on the K2 Media
Client that has the currently selected channel.
