Chapter 1 Version 2.1.1 Release Information
UIM Windows user accounts
The following user accounts are setup on the UIM.
Operating the UIM in unattended mode
UIM software does not require a Windows user account to run. Once you have
configured network settings using the administrator account, you can log off the
Windows operating system and run the UIM in an unattended mode.
High definition video transfers
High definition video transfers have been qualified on the UIM-SAN-GEIP for this
release. HD clips and their associated Ancillary Date can be transferred with all
versions of the UIM product (UIM-SAN-GEIP, UIM-SAN-FCIP, and
UIM-Gigabit-IP). However, HD or ancillary data transfers are not supported in the
MXF format.
Transfers with K2 systems
The rules for K2 host name aliases in the hosts file are similar to those for Profile XP
systems. The primary difference is that for a K2 Storage System (SAN), transfers go
to/from the K2 Media Server, rather than the K2 Media Clients. This results in the
following rules:
• For stand-alone (internal storage) K2 Media Clients, add the “_he0” suffix to the
hostname and associate that hostname with the K2 Media Client’s FTP/streaming
network IP address.
• For K2 Media Servers, add the “_he0” suffix to the hostname and associate that
hostname with the K2 Media Server’s FTP/streaming network IP address.
• For each SAN (external storage) K2 Media Client, add the “_he0” suffix to the
hostname but then associate that hostname with the K2 Media Server’s FTP/
streaming network IP address, not the K2 Media Client’s IP address.
Aliasing K2 Media Client hostnames in this way would not be required if the
transfer source/destination was always correctly specified as the K2 Media Server.
However, a common mistake is to attempt a transfer in which the source/
destination is incorrectly specified as the K2 Media Client. The host file aliasing
corrects this mistake and redirects to the K2 Media Server, which is the correct
transfer source/destination.
• Do not put a SAN K2 Media Client directly on the FTP/streaming network. A SAN
K2 Media Client does not send or receive transfers directly.
