Before using K2 TimeDelay
Before you can access K2 TimeDelay, you need to log on to a K2 Summit
Production Client or K2 Media Solo Server and launch AppCenter. (You can
set up AppCenter to log you in automatically. For more information, see the
K2 AppCenter User Manual.) When AppCenter is started, an application is
launched for each channel. To change the application running on a channel,
select a new application from the channel’s application drop-down
list.TimeDelay only appears in a channel’s drop-down list if that channel is
capable of recording.
A TimeDelay session uses one record channel and one or more play channels.
To interact with the TimeDelay application, you must activate the record
channel that it is using. To activate the channel, you can select the channel
from inside the channel status pane or click on the TimeDelay application in
the applications pane.
To start TimeDelay on a channel, follow these steps:
1. Select the channel you want to record on.
2. Select TimeDelay from the channel’s application drop-down list. (If the
channel is not capable of recording, TimeDelay does not display as an
option.)
3. The K2 TimeDelay application starts. In the Settings dialog box, select the
play channel or channels for this TimeDelay session.
4. Specify the playback start time either in terms of delay or give an exact start
time.
5. (Optional) Set up the AutoStart or Buffer. For more information, see “K2
TimeDelay settings” on page 11 .
6. Click OK . The settings do not take affect until you click OK .
