Name Description
Grass Valley Import Service This is the service that provides the functionality for the P2 Import
capture service. It is the service that automatically creates the K2 clip
from the media files in the watched folder (source directory) and puts
the K2 clip in the K2 media storage (destination bin).
K2 Capture Services utility Configures K2 capture services.
Source directory This is the watched folder. It is a standard file system directory. When
media files are placed in this directory, the P2 Import capture service
automatically creates a K2 clip in the K2 media storage. By default,
the location of the source directory is V:\P2Import.
Check frequency Determines how often (in seconds) the watched folder is checked for
new files.
Cleanup frequency Determines how long (in days) a file remains in the watched folder. A
file with a file-creation date older than the specified number of days is
deleted.
Destination bin The clip bin in the K2 media storage that receives the K2 clip created
by the K2 P2 Import capture service. The destination bin is in the K2
media database and appears in AppCenter as a media bin. By default,
its location is V:\P2Import.
