Grass Valley GV STRATUS Installation v.3.1 - Manual (Page 315)

• Leave Embedded Security enabled for normal operation of your Grass Valley system. Do not
disable Embedded Security except as instructed by Grass Valley product documentation or as
directed by Grass Valley Support. Enabling and disabling Embedded Security requires a restart.
• Do not install any programs or modify any operating system settings unless approved by Grass
Valley. By design, Embedded Security prevents any programs from being installed or from
running that are not present when you receive the system new from Grass Valley. These Grass
Valley systems are not a general purpose Windows workstations. The applications and
configuration have been specifically optimized on each system for its intended use as part of the
Grass Valley system.
• While Embedded Security is the key anti-virus component on these systems, you should still
follow the Grass Valley anti-virus scan policy and scan all the devices in your Grass Valley
system to ensure viruses are not propagated between machines.
Embedded Security is part of the K2 Summit/Solo system generic disk image and the K2 Media
Server generic disk image compatible with K2 software version 9.0 or higher. Both K2 Media
Servers and GV STRATUS servers use the same generic disk image, so GV STRATUS servers
inherit the Embedded Security solution. On K2 Summit/Solo systems, the Embedded Security
solution introduced with K2 software version 9.0 replaces the write filter from previous versions.
