Product Description
The K2 is an MPEG-2 transport stream capture device that uses the K2 SAN for

captures). Material recorded by K2 then manifests as a K2 clip on the SAN.
The K2 comes with the following items:
• A 2-RU rackable device
• An ASI input card, limited to 84 Mb/s
• A dual port Gigabit Ethernet adapter for remote control and iSCSI access to shared
storage
• An RS-422 card for remote control
• A Software Suite, which allows operating captures locally or remotely
