Channels in AppCenter
In AppCenter, the channels are labeled C1, C2, C3, C4 (for K2 Summit Production
Clients) or C1 and C2 (for K2 Solo Media Servers). Each channel is bi-directional,
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 the
designated application until you change it. You can change the channel’s application
in the Channel monitor. ChannelFlex Suite functionality is configured in
Configuration Manager.
The K2 system is configured so that it can accept standard video input formats as well
as HD video input formats of 720p or 1080i.
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
To change channel applications, in the monitor pane, select the channel application
drop-down list
for the channel, then 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.
Remote protocol applications are configured on each channel under
Control | Options
.
Standard remote protocol applications are AMP, BVW, VDCP. The Event Scheduler
license enables the Event Monitor application.
