to apply the setting.

Video reference standard setup

The video reference standard setting is global to the K2 Summit Production Client or

K2 Solo Media Server and applies to all channels. For the reference standard currently

selected, the only clips available for playout are those that use that reference standard.

Clips that use a different reference standard are disabled (grayed out).

NOTE: When you change the video reference standard setting, a restart is required

to put the change into effect.

To access video reference standard settings, open Configuration Manager and click

System

.

Refer to

“Data track setup” on page 162

for other settings that appear on the System

tab.

Record channel video setup

Video record compression settings are not global; they can be set on a channel by

channel basis.

NOTE: If you are using a channel suite with channels from multiple sources, make

sure that you have selected a channel from the K2 system that you want to configure

before accessing Configuration Manager.

CAUTION: When using a K2 Summit Production Client with shared

storage, bear in mind that any configuration changes that result in an

increased bandwidth (such as increasing the bit rate, media formats,

and ratio of record channels to play channels) affect load balancing.

Therefore, if you change your intended use of a K2 Summit client and

increase its bandwidth requirements, you risk losing media access. For
a more detailed description of load balancing, see the

K2 SAN
