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. Where a procedure can be applied to a
K2 Summit Production Client or a K2 Solo Media Server, the term K2 Summit
system is used. The Dyno P A application runs on a machine ref erred to as the Dyno
PA client.
Dyno PA can manage various K2 systems to perform several different tasks.
10 K2 Dyno Production Assistant Configuration Manual 11 June 2010
About K2 Dyno Production Assistant
The Dyno P A application is managed by the Grass Valley platform service. One Grass
V alle y platform service can coordinate between multiple Dyno P A clients and multiple
K2 systems.

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 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.

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.

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.

failed transfers, if any. Clicking the Active Transfer tab displays the Active Transfer
pane if it is covered by other panes.
