Channel suites and channel configuration considerations
While you can separate the channels on a single K2 Summit/Solo system for operation by using one
or more channel suites, the channels on a K2 Summit/Solo system are always combined in one
interface when you use Configuration Manager. This means that it is possible to open Configuration
Manager from within a channel suite and configure a channel that is not present in that channel
suite. Therefore, make sure you know the control and operating status of a channel before you modify
its configuration.
Likewise, if your channel suite has channels from multiple sources, it is possible to open Configuration
Manager on each of those sources from within the one channel suite. Therefore, make sure you
select the channel you intend to configure before you open Configuration Manager.
When you modify channel configuration in Configuration Manager, the changes are saved in a
configuration file on the K2 Summit/Solo system, not on the network-connected Control Point PC.
Administrators can set user permissions for each channel. Depending on your security settings, you
could be denied permission to operate a channel. For more information, see the K2 System Guide.
Take special care when modifying a channel configuration as follows:
• Changes that apply to all channels on a K2 Summit/Solo system. This can affect media operations
in other channel suites that contain channels from that K2 Summit/Solo system.
• Changes that require rebooting the K2 Summit/Solo system, such as switching the video reference
from NTSC to PAL. This can stop the media operations in other channel suites that contain
channels from that K2 Summit/Solo system.
NOTE: Configuration changes require K2 admin access privileges.
