4. Install codec option cards as shown.

Install two M3 phillips head
screws on each card

Orient the codec module
with the card connectors
facing up

Note: AVC-Intra codec cards
are shown. Procedures apply
similarly to MPEG2 encode
cards.

Position cards
and engage card
connectors

NOTE: Cards on a single codec module must be the same: either both MPEG-2 or both
AVC-Intra. Installing different cards on a single codec module is not supported.

5. Install the codec module into the K2 Summit/Solo system.

6. Start up the K2 Summit/Solo system.

On restart, the K2 Summit/Solo system rescans hardware and automatically discovers the codec
option cards.

7. If a message appears, follow the instructions in the message to either restart or shutdown/startup.

This second startup process is necessary so that the K2 Summit/Solo system can reconfigure
appropriately.

8. After installing the card, install the current version of K2 software and restart.

An over-install is all that is required. You do not need to first un-install the software. This ensures
that the board is flashed with the proper version to be compatible with K2 software.

Log in to Windows and AppCenter, and open Configuration Manager. The new configuration options
are available for configuration.

NOTE: Once a channel is operational with MPEG-2 or AVC-Intra, if you then remove the cards
from the codec module you must also delete

C:/profile/config/config.xml

. Failure to do so

causes errors in Configuration Manager.
