Configuring the P2 Import capture service
2. If the write filter is enabled, restart as prompted, then repeat previous steps.
The K2 Capture Services utility dialog box is displayed.
3. Click on the P2 Import tab.
4. Select Use P2Import .
If you have not yet licensed the P2 Import capture service, a “…start the process of
getting a license now?” message appears. Follow on-screen instructions to obtain
a license. After licensing, restart the K2 Capture Services utility and continue with
this procedure. Make sure the write filter is disabled.
5. 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 valid P2 directories/
files are placed in this directory, the P2 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 P2 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. When your P2 Import capture service settings are complete, click Apply .
A message appears that informs you about the write filter and prompts you to
restart.
9. Click OK .
