Introduction
What is the K2 Dyno S Replay System?
The K2 Dyno S Replay System is a control system for live event scenarios, with the following
features:
• Quickly plays back recorded elements in both real time and slow motion
• Stores recorded segments for playback at a later time
• Assembles recorded segments in a playlist for playback with effect transitions
• Names segments and clips
• Attaches metadata to segments and clips
• Sends clips to other devices for external storage or further editing
System description
The K2 Dyno S Replay System has two main components: A K2 system and a K2 Dyno S Replay
Controller.
K2 system
The K2 system can be a K2 Summit Production Client or a K2 Solo Media Server. The K2 Summit
system has four video channel connections. Each channel can be congured as either a recorder or
a player. The K2 Solo system has two video channel connections, making it one half of a K2 Summit
system. With ChannelFlex (a feature of K2 AppCenter Elite), a record channel can be split to record
two streams of video.
The K2 Dyno S Replay System supports both 3G and non-3G K2 Summit/Solo systems. The K2
Summit 3G system is pictured here.
20140207 K2 Dyno S User Manual 9
Introduction
A K2 Summit/Solo system can be congured to complete a variety of specialized tasks, as follows:
• 3X Super Slow motion, which records at three times the frame rate for clearer slow motion
playback
• 3D activities marrying two record steams to playback as one 3D stream
The Dyno S Replay Controller controls the K2 system video streams no matter how the K2 system
is congured.
K2 Dyno S Replay Controller
Many of the functions of the K2 Dyno S Replay Controller are operated from the large touch screen.
Three key elements of the touch screen are Tabs, Slots, and Bins.
Tabs: The column of SoftKeys on the left side of the screen providing access to primary functions.

Slots: The numbered storage locations for elements viewable under tabs such as highlights and
playlists.

Introduction
Figure 2: Slots displayed on Highlight screen
Bins: A collection of like items. A bin is similar to a PC Folder. You can have multiple bins with
highlights, playlists, or search results. Additional bins are accessed on the touch screen by tapping
the bar at the top of the screen that contains a bin name.

Key terms
Introduction
DescriptionTerms
Session
Clip
The bin that holds all the items from a recording period. A session
includes record streams, clips, playlists and anything created during
the period of recording. A session is transient; it is not permanent.
You can delete a session, but doing so deletes all elements of that
period of recording.
Session management is a key item for success in using the K2 Dyno
Replay Controller. You can save a session and open another but in
so doing you must consider recordable space. The contents of the
session might take up a large amount of recordable space, since the
session does include the complete record train.
A segment of video selected and saved for future use. It can be used
for individual playback or for addition to a playlist. It can be
congured to save just one record stream or all streams being
recorded at the points that dened it.

About session channels
The centre of the screen is to dene the channels of the server. The options available for conguration
are limited to the settings on the server.
This setting is found on the server under the K2 AppCenter system ag, then see Channel and Type
for the conguration information.

About loop modes in K2, Dyno, and GV STRATUS
Support for loop modes varies on Grass Valley products.
Grass Valley products provide features for putting an asset into a loop mode. Products and their
loop modes are as follows:
• K2 AppCenter:
• Loop play: Allows the clip to play in a continuous loop until stopped.
• Continuous record: Allows you to specify a xed-length recording that records continuously.
When the xed length you specify is reached, AppCenter begins to erase the oldest media in
3 minute segments to make room for new media.
• GV STRATUS:
• Loop play (Loop Playback): Loops the current asset between mark in to mark out.
• K2 Dyno:
• Loop record (LoopRec): Same as K2 AppCenter Continuous record.
While the GV STRATUS application can access the same K2 Storage as K2 AppCenter and K2
Dyno, the GV STRATUS application does not support a recording loop mode. Therefore, in the
GV STRATUS application, do not attempt to access an asset while it is in a loop record mode. The
asset can be put into this type of loop mode by K2 Dyno or K2 AppCenter.
Deleting a Session during startup
You can delete all non-essential Sessions from the Sessions list as follows:
1. Select the session from the list and tap the DELETE softkey.
2. To delete all Sessions currently on the server, press Shift function of the DELETE SoftKey.
Deleting a session while in an active session
To recover space, delete the non-active sessions.
1. To delete the non-active sessions while in an active session, open the CONFIG screen.
2. Tap SESSIONS.
The Sessions list page appears, listing all Sessions currently on the server.
3. Select the session you are deleting and tap DELETE.
You cannot delete an active session, indicated by the word in use in yellow.
