K2 Dyno Production Assistant

Live Production Content Management System

The Grass Valley™ K2 Dyno™ Production Assistant software provides a toolkit and user workspaces for creative personnel to manage content during live events. The system is scalable for virtually any number of ingest/replay channels, content destinations, and production staff. The underlying infrastructure for recording, store, and replay is provided by K2 Summit™ and K2 Solo™. The software is intuitive and easy to use, focusing on production roles rather than having an operator tied to a particular device.
