Grass Valley K2 AppCenter v.9.0 - Manual (Page 203)

About Multi-Cam
This feature is part of the ChannelFlex Suite, which requires the AppCenter Elite license.
You can connect one video source to SDI IN1 and another video source to SDI IN2. You must
configure the channel as a Multi-Cam record channel. The K2 Summit/Solo system records two
clips, one from each video input, and automatically gives them default names
If ancillary data and/or timecode is present on SDI IN1, each Multi-Cam clip contains that ancillary
data and/or timecode. LTC timecode is also shared for both clips.
The K2 Summit/Solo system can record the same audio for both clips, or it can record separate audio
for each clip. You can configure these audio options as desired.
In E-to-E (LoopThru) mode, SDI OUT1 and SDI OUT2 show the signal coming in at SDI IN1 and
SDI IN2 respectively. When in this mode, the VGA Video Monitor displays the two inputs, but at
a smaller size, in the area for the single channel.
Each Multi-Cam clip plays as a standard clip on a standard bi-directional record/play channel
