December 4, 2007 K2 Media Client Version 3.2.56 Release Notes 3 What’s new in this release What’s new in this release This version of K2 Media Client system software includes several improvements, in addition to correcting some problems that were present in earlier releases. • K2 Media Client motherboard — The previous K2 Media Client motherboard (now known as the Type I motherboard) has reached end of life status, so a new “Type II” motherboard has been qualified and is installed in new systems. The Type II motherboard supports USB 2.0. To identify the motherboard in a K2 Media Client, view the rear panel. The Type I motherboard has a parallel port. The Type II motherboard does not have a parallel port. • RS-422 connection — In this release, RS-422 connectivity is provided by a single PCI card. This is required for compatibility with the Type II motherboard. The PCI card replaces the previous configuration of two dual-port USB cards. The PCI card includes an 8-port external interface, which must be connected as shown in the following illustration. On the external interface, only ports 1–4 are active.

Like a K2 Media Client with internal storage, this model is referred to as “stand-alone” storage, as opposed to K2 Media Clients that connect to external shared storage. • HotBins feature — A watched folder can be configured to automatically import clips into the K2 System. Refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide for complete specifications. • Media File System — Upgrade to version 3.0.1.39 SNFS (StorNext File System) software is required. This is the media file system software. • QuickTime support — AppCenter import supports QuickTime D10/IMX, XDCAM-HD, and HDV. • New storage infrastructure — There are new devices and levels of K2 Storage Systems available. Refer to K2 Storage System Release Notes for more information.
