About the K2 Dyno PA User Manual
This manual is intended for users of the K2 Dyno Production Assistant™ (Dyno PA)

information on administrator tasks such as installing and configuring Dyno PA, see
the K2 Dyno Production Assistant Configuration Manual.

About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
K2 Dyno Production Assistant (Dyno PA) is a software platform composed of the
Dyno P A application and the Dyno Production Assistant platform service. The platform
service allows users on various Dyno PA clients to access assets as well as share saved
searches, keywords, and transfer rules.
NOTE: The Dyno PA application can be used with K2 Media Clients, K2 Summit
Production Clients, and K2 Solo Media Servers. When a procedure can be applied
to any of these, the term K2 system is used. A K2 Summit Production Client with
internal storage is referred to as a standalone K2 Summit system. A K2 Summit
Production Client with external storage (an FSM server and a RAID) is referred to
as a K2 Summit SAN system. Where a procedure can be applied to a K2 Summit
Production Client (in a standalone or SAN system) or a K2 Solo Media Server, the
term K2 Summit system is used. The Dyno P A application runs on a machine referred
to as the Dyno PA client.
Dyno PA can manage various K2 systems to perform several different tasks.
The Dyno PA application is managed by the Dyno Production Assistant platform
service. One platform service can coordinate between multiple Dyno PA clients and
K2 systems.
12 Dyno Production Assistant User Manual 13 June 2011
Using K2 Dyno PA
This section describes three of the common workflows for the K2 Dyno PA application.
Content Management/Controller workflow
This workflow describes a role that principally deals with assets. The user can be
manually exporting or transferring assets about the network, creating playlists, loading
assets onto managed channels, creating rules for automatic transfers/exports, creating
searches, managing repositories, setting up scheduled transfers, and adding metadata
to assets.
Logger workflow
This workflow is more about metadata enrichment of record trains from the K2 Dyno
Replay Controller. Users load source clips into the Browse pane and then using the
marker logging mode add markers (tags with timecode context) to assets. Users can
also add Dyno PA markers to Dyno highlights or other assets in the system.
Judiciary/Review workflow
About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
This workflow describes the use of the Browse pane to review footage from a live
event from multiple angles, possibly as part of a formal judiciary process such as a
video referee. The Browse, Recording Assets and marker panes are used to quickly
find points within the record trains and then to switch between trains keeping the
current timecode context.
About bins
Bins are folders on a K2 system. You can create or delete a bin on a K2 system, but
bins cannot be renamed from K2 Dyno PA.
About repositories
A repository is a shortcut to a location that acts as a gateway for getting media in or
out of a K2 system. Before you can set up a rule or schedule a transfer, you need to
add a repository to the K2 Dyno PA system.
In Dyno PA there are two types of repositories:
• K2 system repository
K2 system repositories simply represent a bin on a K2 system in Dyno P A. Creating
a K2 system repository allows you quick access to that bin.
For example, if a bin is nested under sev eral parent folders on a K2 system, creating
a K2 system-based repository for this bin displays it under the top-level repository
13 June 2011 Dyno Production Assistant User Manual 13
About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
section in the Navigator pane, which makes it easy to locate. As a repository, you
can also give the bin a name more applicable to your particular workflow.
• File System repository
File system repositories import and export assets to and from K2 systems.
Examples of file-system based repositories include: a USB drive mounted on a
connected PC, a Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive, or an Apple
Macintosh-shared drive.
NOTE: A shared network resource requires that everyone in the workgroup has
full control permissions.
Tip: If your workflow includes repositories with multiple sub-folders directly
under a top-level repository, adding the sub-folder as a session favorite makes
it easier for you to access the sub-folders without creating a separate repository
for each one. (You cannot create a favorite of a sub-folder that has been nested
under another sub-folder.)
About K2 Dyno PA User Interface
The K2 Dyno PA user interface is composed of several panes that can be hidden or
dragged to different areas of the screen. Highlighted items, such as bins, playlists, or
managed channels, are displayed with a blue background.
Each Dyno PA pane has a menu of icon buttons specific to that pane. You can
right-click on each pane to access additional tasks. The image below shows one way
to arrange the Dyno PA panes.
14 Dyno Production Assistant User Manual 13 June 2011
About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
The Dyno PA panes are described below.
NOTE: If your Dyno PA system is not licensed to use a particular feature, that pane
is not displayed in the Dyno PA application.
Navigator pane: Lists all the K2 systems that have been added as a serv er to the Dyno
P A client, the current Dyno session, bins (folders on a K2 system), repositories (folders
on a user-defined location), and any search queries that hav e been sa ved. The Refresh

and searches in this pane.
Server Information pane: If a K2 system in the Navigator pane is highlighted, the

About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
Menu Ribbon: The menu is based on the W indo ws Ribbon interface. When you click
on the Lock button , the menu ribbon displays. If you double click on the button,
the menu remains fixed at the top of the user interface. Double clicking the button
again hides the menu ribbon again.
Customizing the K2 Dyno PA user interface
The K2 Dyno PA interface is based on the standard Microsoft Dockable Windows
user interface. The Asset List pane is fixed; it cannot be moved or closed. However,
you can arrange the other panes around it, which effectiv ely moves the Asset List pane
in relation to the other panes.
Any changes made to your layout are automatically saved when you log out of the
Dyno P A application. The layout information is sa ved by the Dyno Production Assistant
platform service, so your customized layout can be accessed, if you log into Dyno PA
with the same username and password, from any Dyno PA client that shares that
particular platform service.
1. To close or hide/unhide a pane in Dyno PA, you can do the following:
• To hide a pane, click the Thumbtack button . A hidden pane remains off to

• To unhide the pane, hover the mouse over the pane title and then click the
Thumbtack button.
