About BVW protocol support
You can use BVW protocol to control AppCenter record and play channels. External
control devices can be connected via rear panel RS-422 serial connectors. (Ethernet
is not available for BVW.) The K2 system supports a standard set of BVW commands
used for VTR machine control. BVW Insert Edit, used by some edit control panels, is
not supported.
About VDCP protocol support

must set up the video network and the Controller ID as described in the K2 System
Guide.
