Windows Explorer type interface with drag-and-drop functionality.
FTP access and configuration
For basic LAN access, the following Grass Valley products can connect as an FTP
client to the K2 FTP server with no special configuration required:
• K2 Media Clients
• M-Series iVDR
• UIM-connected Profile XP Media Platform
For WAN access, contact your Grass Valley representative for assistance.
If the FTP client is not one of these Grass Valley products, contact the product’s
supplier or your network system administrator for assistance with configuring TCP
window scaling. Any computer that connects as an FTP client to the K2 FTP server
must have TCP window scaling enabled. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/
q224829/ for more information on this feature. Never set Tcp1323Opts without
setting TcpWindowSize. Also, Windows NT 4.0 does not support TCP window
scaling, but will still communicate with Grass Valley products in a LAN environment.
FTP access by Internet Explorer
You can use Internet Explorer to transfer files via FTP between a PC and the FTP
interface on a K2 Media Client (internal storage) or a K2 Media Server, so long as
both source and destination machines are on the same network.
To access FTP using Internet Explorer, use the following syntax in the Address field:
ftp://<username:password@hostname>. The hostname can be the name
of a K2 Media Client with internal storage or it can be the name of a K2 Media Server.
(You cannot make a FTP connection to a K2 Media Client with external storage.)
Once you have logged in, the two virtual directories are displayed.
GXF — General Exchange Format (SMPTE 360M). This is the standard Grass Valley
file interchange format, which supports:
