In a channel suite, you can name a channel or change the order in which the channels appear in the
AppCenter window.
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.
Channel suites
A channel suite is a collection of channels. If you are using AppCenter through a network-connected
PC with Control Point software, the channels are accessed through a channel suite. Channel suites
allow you to customize the channels to run particular applications or save the clips to specific
locations. You can add channels from different sources to one channel suite. Each channel suite can
have up to 16 channels.
NOTE: If you are running a K2 Summit/Solo system locally, you cannot use channel suites.
You can only use the channels on that K2 system.
Channels in AppCenter
In AppCenter, the channels are labeled C1, C2, C3, C4 (for K2 Summit systems) or C1 and C2 (for
K2 Solo systems). Each channel is bidirectional, that is, you can designate the channel to any
application available on the system. Once you designate a channel to run a specific application, the
channel remains designated to the application until you change it. You can change the channel’s
application in the Channel monitor. ChannelFlex Suite functionality is configured in Configuration
Manager.
Channel applications overview
AppCenter channels have applications for performing essential tasks. When AppCenter starts, each
channel comes up in its last used application. You can change the channel application.
Selecting a channel application
1. In the monitor pane, select the channel application drop-down list
for the channel.
2. Choose an application.
The selected application replaces the current application and appears in the channel’s space in the
channel pane. The channel becomes the selected channel.
Available channel applications
AppCenter provides standard Playlist and Player/Recorder applications to run on a channel without
any special licensing. If licensed, TimeDelay and Event Monitor applications are also available.
ChannelFlex Suite functionality requires the AppCenter Elite license and is configured in
Configuration Manager.
