and add channels. Note: you can create a new channel suite while
currently running a different channel suite. When you finish

suite is saved in the

Suite , highlighting the name of the channel suite you want to
overwrite, and then proceeded as if it were an entirely new channel
suite.

the file and hit the Delete key.

change.

Using channel suites with multiple K2 systems or storage locations
Channel suites have the capability to operate channels from multiple sources through one Control
Point PC. You can move from a channel on one source to a channel on another without disrupting
playout.
You can use a channel suite with channels that access media stored on different K2 Summit/Solo
system or K2 SANs. The clip bin displayed is the bin where the channel currently active stores its
clips.
