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 configured as either a recorder or aplayer. TheK2Solosystemhastwovideochannelconnections,makingitonehalfofaK2Summit 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.

K2 Dyno S User Manual 9

Introduction

A K2 Summit/Solo system can be configured 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 configured.

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 fixed-length recording that records continuously. When the fixed 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.

About the T-bar

The T-bar is a lever bar to control playback speed. When you touch the T-bar, it immediately takes control of the speed of the active player channel. Make sure you do not inadvertently touch the T-bar, as doing so changes the playback speed to the programmed speed of the T-bar. The T-bar can be preset with two playback speed configurations: default and alternate. The positions of bar operations can be fine-tuned.
