System diagram - K2 storage

This diagram illustrates an example version 3.1 architecture for a system that uses
IngestStation for ingest and that accesses high-resolution media on K2 or NewsShare
NAS storage.

This diagram illustrates the recommended architecture for version 3.1. Refer to
Appendix B, Legacy systems on page 147 for previous versions.

The system illustrated here demonstrates the full range of hardware platform types.
Smaller systems might not include all types of hardware platforms. Consult the
system design for your specific system to determine the hardware platforms you must
install.

Design considerations - NewsBrowse with NewsEdit

Take the following into considerations when establishing the workflow for your use
of NewsBrowse on K2 storage or NewsShare NAS:

Minimize proxy creation for short-lived material

— The editing process generates

multiple pieces of transitional media, but there is no need to create proxy
representations of this transitional media. To do so creates an unnecessary load on the
system and affects performance.

The Ingest Media Server can be a K2 system or an M-Series system.

The Media Storage can be a K2 system or a NewsShare NAS appliance.

On large systems the Production Network can be separated into two
networks: one for media and one for control.

The SmartBin Encoder also bridges between the Media Editing and
NewsBrowse Proxy systems.
