Introduction

Summary

The K2™ Dyno™ Controller is a controller that is designed to provide fast and accurate operations controlling a K2 Summit™ Production Client or K2 Solo™ Media Server. Operations include searching, replaying video or scenes, storing highlights, and creating playlists. The K2 Dyno Controller can control channels configured for ChannelFlex™ Suite features on the K2 system.

K2 Dyno Controller features are as follows:

•Its simple system configuration enables comfortable operations even in a limited space.

•The touch panel allows for intuitive operations. For operations that require more accuracy, you can operate the controller using only the physical buttons.

•Connecting a keyboard, mouse, and second display allows you to set up a more comfortable operating environment.

•All of the edited data (excluding Mark and Scene) is saved in the K2 Summit Production Client. Therefore, you can continue your operation without losing your data in the unlikely event of a malfunction in the K2 Dyno Controller.

•The settings of the K2 Dyno Controller, that you set in the CONFIG screen, can be exported and imported to another K2 Dyno Controller, which enables you to set up the same settings easily.

•The controller provides easy mix effect editing. A dissolve effect can be applied to a scene switch just by touching the panel. In addition, this can be performed using only 1 channel.

How to read this manual

This User Manual contains the operation procedures to use the K2 Dyno Controller, concerning the editing functions that are often used in a live event broadcast.

Operations can be performed intuitively with the touch panel and buttons. Operation procedures with the touch panel are mainly described; however, button operations are mentioned together when the same operations can be performed with the buttons. You can also perform important operations with the physical buttons.

For example, when operations are described as follows, the operation results by performing step 2 and Button operation will be the same.

2.Touch the PLAYLIST tab to display the PLAYLIST screen, and then touch the event box.

Button operation

Press the Add PL button. Operation results are the same

In addition, if there is enough room in your editing space, a mouse, keyboard, numerical keypad, or second display can be connected to the controller for comfortable operations that suit your preferences. If you are using a controller with a mouse or keyboard connected, a touch panel operation can be replaced either by a click operation with a mouse, or by a value entry operation with a keyboard or numerical keypad, unless otherwise noted.
