The Grass ValleyTM K2 media server/ media client system is ideal for broadcast and production environments, offering support for a wide range of applications to address specific workflow needs in the most cost-efficient and cost-effective ways possible. Using automation for synchronization usually requires an extra-cost option to either perform the dual ingest outlined above or to synchronize file systems where files are ingested on one system and sent via file-transfer protocol (FTP) to the backup. [. . . ] For effective mirroring, the file system on two servers needs to be synchronized. Conventional automation systems do so by using a dual-ingest or automaticsynchronization method. But these approaches add either cost or complexity. Under a dual-ingest approach, a signal is fed into a main and backup server and recorded in parallel. Unfortunately, this approach requires more router control points, is more complex to set up, and relies on an application, such as automation, to roll two channels synchronously. Simplifying Operations, Promoting Efficiency InSync software can simplify your operations and in some cases provide better utilization of your hardware. For instance, it's easy to add a mirrored server via the InSync application to an environment in which an automation system controls a server for ingest and playout. To the automation system, InSync is transparent and, since the file systems are always synchronized, if the File Filters Another advanced mode of the InSync software is its ability to synchronize only specific files using custom filters (see key features). You can tailor these filters to synchronize files based on such things as folder location, clip duration, creation dates, or recording formats. KEY FEATURES · Multiple configuration modes for operational flexibility: -- One way -- Bi-directional -- Bi-directional/initial delete -- Bi-directional/initial duplication -- Bi-directional without initial action · Customizable file filters: -- Path -- Duration -- Creation date/time -- Last modified date/time -- Encoding format (DV or MPEG) -- Resolution (SD or HD) www. grassvalley. com product data sheet Easy Setup Powerful Filters InSync software is simple to set up.
