Both feeds and files can be ingested under control to the K2 device with low-resolution proxy of all clips becoming immediately available. By leveraging the unmatched proxy/full-resolution mixed editing capability of EDIUS, all newsroom users can edit content with the level of sophistication previously available only in dedicated and expensive edit suites. As expected in a newsroom system, playout is driven by a MOS-compliant newsroom computer system (NRCS). The flexibility of this architecture also allows distributed editing environments in which little, if any, raw content is held in central storage. This capability can be particularly useful in the K2 Solo-based Newsroom Express system which has relatively limited storage capacity. Even when using the K2 Solo purely as a playout device, all capabilities remain intact for content management, archive, and, with the optional Rules and Transcode engines, digital media publishing. 2
