files that remain after a failed transcode/import. If a file of the same name already exists, a newly
named file is created, rather than overwriting the existing file. In all cases, the clip in the K2 bin
remains.
For import, the K2 Coder supports SD to SD or HD to HD. The K2 Coder does not support SD to
HD or HD to SD. If you transcode/import both SD and HD files, you must use two Import Watch
Folders, one for SD and one for HD.
For the Export Watch Folder, there is one K2 bin and two K2 Coder folders. By default, the K2 bin
is
K2-Coder-Export . You must create a bin of this name for the Export Watch Folder to use or else
configure the Export Watch Folder to use a different bin. The K2 Coder checks this bin for new
clips every 60 seconds. When a new clip arrives in this bin, the K2 Coder automatically exports the
clip to the
FilesFromK2 folder as a temporary GXF file and then transcodes the GXF file into the
configured destination format, placing it in the DestFiles folder. If the transcode/export is successful,
files are deleted from the FilesFromK2 folder. If the transcode/export fails, the files remain. There
is no periodic purge or cleanup of the files that remain after a failed transcode/export. If a file of
the same name already exists, a newly named file is created, rather than overwriting the existing
file. In all cases, the K2 clip remains in the bin and files remain in the
DestFiles folder. External
systems access the transcoded files in the DestFiles folder.
Installing the K2 Coder
The K2 Coder comes from the factory with all necessary software installed.
• Refer to topics elsewhere in this manual for general instructions for installing and configuring
devices on a K2 SAN. Use Gigabit port 1 for the control network and Gigabit port 2 for the media
(iSCSI) network.
• When you first power up the K2 Coder, an error is displayed. This error is because the K2 Coder
comes preconfigured for the V:\ drive. Since the V:\ drive is not present until the K2 Coder is
added to the K2 SAN, the error is generated. You can dismiss the error and proceed with
installation.
• Configure the registry as follows:
a) In the registry, browse to the following key:
[HKLM\Software\Grass Valley Group\MAN\ServerRoles\]
b) For Valuename “1”, make the following setting:
“Data”=FTPServer
• Configure network settings for the control network, including any considerations for name
resolution via host files on the K2 SAN. The K2 Coder host file must contain the following:
localhost 127.0.0.1
• Use the K2Config application to add the K2 Coder to the K2 SAN. For iSCSI bandwidth, assign
a value of 24 MB/sec.
