About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
K2 Dyno Production Assistant (Dyno PA) is a software platform composed of the
Dyno PA application and the Grass Valley 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.
12 Dyno Production Assistant User Manual 15 October 2010
About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
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 keywords
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
keyframe logging mode add keyframes (keywords with timecode context) to assets.
Users can also add Dyno P A ke ywords to Dyno highlights or other assets in the system.
Judiciary/Review workflow
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 K eyframe panes are used to quickly
find points within the record trains and then to switch between trains keeping the
current timecode context.

About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
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 K2 Dyno P A repository can be used to transfer , import or export assets. A repository
acts as a shortcut to a location on the network that can be used to transfer assets from
or to Dyno PA. If you delete a repository from Dyno PA, the shortcut is deleted; the
assets in the repository itself are not affected.
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 several parent folders on a K2 system, creating a K2 system-based
repository for this bin displays it under the top-level repository section in the
Navigator pane, which makes it easy to locate. As a repository, you can also give
the bin to 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) driv e, or an Apple Macintosh-shared drive.
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.
14 Dyno Production Assistant User Manual 15 October 2010
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 Filter buttons let you update the list or select which K2 systems you want
to display. You can add, edit or delete servers, bins, repositories, and searches in this
pane.
Server Information pane: If a K2 system in the Navigator pane is highlighted, the
Server Information pane displays, showing the status and version information of that
K2 system. When the K2 system is not highlighted, the Server Information pane is
not accessible.

Locate button causes the Asset List pane to display the bin on the K2 system
where this playlist is located.
Asset List pane: Lists, either in thumbnail or list view, all the assets on the bin,

angle. The Sort button lets you group assets by criteria such as name, creation
date, rating, and so on.
Rules pane: Displays all the rules currently configured. In this pane, you can add,

to transfer it to. Clicking the Rules tab displays the Rules pane if it is covered by other
panes.
Managed Channels pane: Displays all the currently configured record and play
channels on K2 systems that can be controlled through the Dyno PA application. If
you have administrator-level privileges on Dyno PA, you can add, edit, or delete
channels in addition to playing, recording, stopping, fast-forwarding, rewinding, or
ejecting assets or putting an asset in loop playback mode. Clicking the Managed
Channels tab displays the Managed Channels pane if it is covered by other panes.
Recording Assets pane: Displays all the records currently in progress on the K2
systems. You can view the records in list or thumbnail view, browse a record or load
it to one of the K2 systems. The tabs above the record trains let you choose whether
to view record trains on one K2 system or all av ailable systems. Clicking the Recording
Assets tab displays the Recording Assets pane if it is covered by other panes.
T ransfer Scheduler pane: Displays the scheduled transfers. You can add, edit, cancel
or delete scheduled transfers in this pane. Clicking the Transfer Scheduler tab displays
the Transfer Scheduler pane if it is covered by other panes.
Browse pane:Allows you to load assets from a K2 Summit system and view them in
Dyno PA. You can create cue points, mark in or mark out points, create subclips,
unload the asset or locate it in the Asset List, and toggle between Live mode and
Keyframe Logging mode. In this pane, clicking the Locate button causes the
Asset List pane to display the bin on the K2 Summit system where the asset loaded
in the Browse pane is located.
Info pane: Allows you to view the video and keyword information of a highlighted
asset. Clicking the Info tab displays the Info pane if it is covered by other panes. In
this pane, clicking the Locate button causes the Asset List pane to display the
bin on the K2 system where the asset loaded in the Info pane is located.
Active Transfer pane: Allows you to view transfers currently in progress as well as
failed transfers, if any. Clicking the Active Transfer tab displays the Active Transfer
pane if it is covered by other panes.
