K2 Summit Production Client & K2 Solo Media Server Field Kit Upgrade Instructions 13 October 2009

Installing a MPEG/AVC-Intra codec option upgrade

4. Install codec option cards as shown.

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 Production Client or K2 Solo Media

Server.

6. Start up the or K2 Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server.

On restart, the K2 Summit Production Client or K2 Solo Media Server 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
Production Client 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.

9. 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.
