K2 EDIUS Connect

EDIUS Integration with K2 Systems

The native file system of Grass Valley™ K2 systems uses a container file format (CMF) to encapsulate elementary streams of video, audio, timecode, and ancillary data to provide direct access for operations like editing. Formerly, extra components, processes, and conversions were necessary for EDIUS to get direct access to the K2 file system. Files could be transferred via FTP, and that is still possible.

Now, with the K2 EDIUS Connect option, there is no longer any need for file conversion, thus permitting EDIUS users to access K2's internal files directly to facilitate editing in place.

K2 EDIUS Connect is a software option, requiring K2 system software v8.0+ and EDIUS version v6.05+.
