K2 Media Server

The K2 media server is the engine of the K2 platform. It manages the file system and its metadata, handles file transfer protocol (FTP) functions such as MXF and QuickTime wrapping and CIFS support, and dynamically allocates the bandwidth between its real-time I/O needs and the non-real-time needs of its FTP processes. And its built-in QOS guarantees that bandwidth is always available to your video channels, regardless of other demands on the system.

The K2-FCP Connect plug-in lets users quickly and easily locate QT files on the K2 SAN, add them to the current project to allow editing of the QT files from the SAN without file transfer. This capability is called Edit in Place. The plug-in will also include FCP support for Aurora sequences, growing file support and export/render/flattening of FCP finished sequences on the K2 SAN for sharing or playout.
