ClipStore Cabling

Overview

The Karrera system uses an Ethernet connection for communications with
ClipStore (K2 Summit/Solo,

Figure 34 on page 61

). Connect an Ethernet

cable from the Karrera Frame, either directly or through a dedicated
Ethernet switch, to the bottom left (of the four) 100BT/1000BT Ethernet
ports on the Summit/Solo backplane.

Note

For a detailed cabling description, see the K2 Summit/Solo manuals included
in the packaging.

ClipStore Video Cabling

The ClipStore channels on the server backplane are labeled C1-C4
(Channel 1 through Channel 4 on the Summit) from left to right (

Figure 41

).

The Solo backplane is not labeled, Channel 1 is on the left and Channel 2 is
on the right when facing the backplane.

ClipStore requires SDI connections for both video and key— two connec-
tions In/Out per channel (C1 in

Figure 41

) for recording and playback. For

playback only, two SDI connections to Out 1 and Out 2 are all that is
required per channel (C2 in

Figure 41

).

Figure 41. ClipStore Backplane Connections

The ClipStore server (4-channel Summit/2-Channel Solo) can be connected
directly to the frame (

Figure 42

). It is also possible to connect to the Clip-

Store directly from a router and not use any switcher outputs.
