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 congured 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.
20130719 K2 Dyno S User Manual 9

A K2 Summit/Solo system can be congured 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 congured.
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.

Introduction

Key terms
DescriptionTerms
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.
Session
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
congured to save just one record stream or all streams being
recorded at the points that dened it.

20130719 K2 Dyno S User Manual 15

4. Select Share SoftKey to share the local server.
• If this is not the rst time the K2 Summit system and the K2 Dyno S Replay Controller has
been paired, K2 Dyno S Replay Controller gives you the option to reconnect to a local server.
• If K2 Summit system and K2 Dyno S Replay Controller have been previously paired, proceed
with your Session.
5. Select Add Server SoftKey and type the name of the missing K2 Summit system, if the local K2
Summit system or any K2 Summit system fails to show up in the server registry.
6. For ShareFlex user, type in the K2 Summit system name used in the Host Table.
Open or New session
After conguring and choosing Servers, the next screen addresses Session options.
1. If you are entering a previous Session, select the Session to be reactivated and select the Open
session SoftKey.
The record, trains, highlights, and playlists of the Sessions are restored.
2. Select New Session SoftKey if you are conguring a new Session.
By default, a new Session is created with the same channel conguration as the last Session.
About session channels
The centre of the screen is to dene the channels of the server. The options available for conguration
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 conguration information.
The rst column of boxes is the ON or OFF selections for each channel. When a channel is OFF, the
K2 Dyno S Replay Controller no longer controls that channel.
The next column denes the Channel function and, depending on the server setting, the choices can
be Player, Recorder, or multichannel recorder.
Pressing Start launches the session but it will not place the server in a state of record.
