Using AMP protocol to control K2 systems

AMP channel designations

The following table lists the channel designations for the AMP protocol with the K2
Media Client. When using AMP protocol with Ethernet, channels must always be
identified as 'VTR1', 'VTR2', etc. When using AMP protocol with RS-422, the first
channel maps to P1, the second channel maps to the P2, and so on.

NOTE: In reference to RS-422 connections, the terms P1, P2, etc., refer to Port 1,
Port 2, and so on. Do not confuse them with player channels P1,P2, etc.

Internationalization

AMP supports UTF-8. Unicode movie names pass through as opaque bits.
