Configuring the K2 Coder

Configuring the K2 Coder

The K2 Coder is qualified as configured in the provided Import Watch Folder
template, Export Watch Folder template, and K2 presets. Do not modify settings,
folders, or bins except as specified in these instructions.

Configure SNFS

By default, the media file system (SNFS) is set with Fast Failover Detection enabled.
You must disable this setting so that if one or more transcode operations consume all
CPU processes for an extended length of time, a media file system failover is not
triggered.

1. Click

Start | All Programs | StorNext File System | Client Configuration

.

The StorNext File System Client Properties dialog box opens.

2. On the

Mount Options

tab, un-check

Fast Failover Detection

.

3. Click

OK

to save settings and close.

Testing default import

Before modifying default transcode configuration, you should do a short test of the
default import functionality to verify that your installation so far is correct.

1. Open Carbon Admin and click the Watch Folders tab.

2. For ImportWatchFolderTemplate make sure that the check box in the Active

column is checked.

3. Copy a SD file into V:\K2Coder\SourceFiles.
