Assets recorded using a different video standard or compression
type than the current system setting cannot be loaded and played on
the K2 Media Client. For example, if you record a PAL clip, you
cannot play it on a channel that is configured for NTSC. Also, if an
SD channel is currently active, you cannot load an HD clip, as the
