About K2 TimeDelay
K2 TimeDelay is an optional control application that runs in the AppCenter
application on your local K2 Summit Production Client. TimeDelay records incoming
source material and delays the playback of the media. You can determine the length
of the delay. The system notifies you if you have exceeded the limit of the available
disk space. TimeDelay allows you to start recording on the assumption that you will
make sufficient room manually. TimeDelay requires K2 Summit software version 7.1
or higher.
The record and play channels need to be on the same K2 system. Multiple sessions of
TimeDelay can run simultaneously if there are enough record and playback channels
on the K2. For example, in a K2 Summit Production Client with two record and two
play channels, you could have two sessions of TimeDelay running, each with one
recorder and one playback channel.

K2 TimeDelay overview
K2 TimeDelay allows you to view a summary of all the channels controlled by this
TimeDelay session. When you select a channel, it is highlighted with a blue
background; all other channels have a grey background. Only the selected channel
responds to keyboard input such as using keyboard shortcuts to Play, Record, or Stop.
This section describes the graphical interface. The picture below shows the
TimeDelay pane with 3 playback channels: C2 and C3 are pending; C4 has started
playing. C1 is the selected channel.
