Special considerations for automation vendors

The following information is provided for your convenience as you set up your
chosen automation product to control K2 systems. Consult your automation vendor
for complete information.

Harris settings

The Harris automation product uses VDCP protocol.

The following settings are required for the Harris automation product:

Setting

Value

Comments

Disk Prerolls

10 frames

Frames to send Play early
(Preroll Play)

10 frames

These two settings should be the same as the Disk
Prerolls setting. However, if there is extra fixed
latency in your RS-422 communication path, you
might need to adjust the settings differently.

Frames to send Record early
(Preroll Record)

10 frames

Disk Port Comm Timeout

60 frames

This is the minimum required by K2. Do not use the
Harris default value, which is 10.
