Gra Valley Enhances K Dyno Replay System with Powerful New Capabilities

To keep fans engaged, Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, today announced feature enhancements to its widely used K2 Dyno Replay System that promise to deliver more captivating content than ever before - helping broadcasters to tell the best possible stories to their viewers. K2 Dyno includes a host of upgrades, such as the new AnySpeed dynamic playback algorithm, which automatically guarantees smooth playback at any speed from zero to 200 percent and in speed transitions for ultra slow-motion 6X playout. It also integrates with Grass Valley's latest high-speed cameras and the K2 Summit 3G Production Client, and it is compatible with higher resolutions and frame rates - all while maintaining easy integration into the live production workflow.

In addition, K2 Dyno now includes 4K pan/zoom support, 6X ultra slow-motion playout (from the LDX XtremeSpeed and LDX Compact XtremeSpeed cameras), 6x2 I/0s, and an optional package for sports graphics and telestration with the tOG-Sports application developed by RT Software. All of these features are controlled from a single K2 Dyno Replay Controller touchscreen, making it the complete solution for the capture, replay, managing, editing, and playout of compelling content. These new features will be available for K2 Dyno in May 2014.

K2 Dyno is the most versatile replay system on the market. No other system provides AnySpeed for smooth playback of XtremeSpeed (6X) content. And no other system enables 4K pan/zoom support, advanced graphics telestration, and full editing capability all from one intuitive user interface, commented Mike Cronk, Senior Vice President of Strategic Marketing, Grass Valley. It's because of these cutting-edge features that more and more production companies are adopting K2 Dyno and why weve been able to train over 200 new operators in the last 10 months. Weve tripled the size of our development team, and we look forward to continued collaboration with our valued customers as we seek to break even more new ground in sports story-telling.

For a complete end-to-end solution, K2 Dyno provides integration and support for ChannelFlex multicam recording into the GV STRATUS Scheduler for a collaborative, file-based production workflow, from image capture through distribution of content. Grass Valley's EDIUS nonlinear editing software can also be installed on the K2 Dyno S controller to create compelling content packages during breaks in the action. The operator can place K2 Dyno highlights directly on the EDIUS timeline, enhance the content, and then put the completed material in a K2 Dyno folder to cue and playback all on a single replay system.

Additionally at NAB, Grass Valley will be demonstrating file sharing between an EVS XT3 and K2 Dyno. This is another important development for sports broadcast , added Cronk. File sharing between EVS and K2 Dyno means that customers can retain their CapEx investment in EVS technology while enjoying the advanced technology and usability K2 Dyno offers at the same time. And because we continue to make an investment in training operators on a global basis, the pool of operators fluent on both systems has increased dramatically as can be seen on the resource' page of the Sports Video Group [SVG] website [sportsvideo.org].

Grass Valley is exhibiting at NAB in Las Vegas from April 7-10, 2014 on booth SL206 and N2513.
