CHANNELS
The K2 Summit Production Client
is optimized for a broad range of
production and broadcast applications.
K2 Summit is the only server that
supports end-to-end SD/HD workflows
in DVCPRO, MPEG-2, and AVC-Intra
formats.
KEY FEATURES
The K2 Summit™Production Client is a
major enhancement to the K2 family.
It is optimized for production and live
event workflows as well as broadcast
applications. Teamed with the K2 Dyno™
replay controller, it offers an ideal
solution for live events such as sports,
concerts, and any application that
requires quick access to recorded media.
As with all K2 media clients, you can
configure a K2 Summit as part of a SAN
solution comprised of multiple media
clients, K2 media server, and K2 RAID
storage—or deploy a standalone client
with internal or external storage and
built-in server for use in a distributed
environment. Both the SAN and
standalone systems are optimized to
work in a file-based environment.
K2 Platform – Overview
The K2 platform is comprised of one or
more K2 media clients connected to one
or more K2 media servers and K2 RAID-
protected storage. The K2 media client
performs all video and audio I/O using
built-in encoders and decoders. You
can attach more than 100 media client
channels to the K2 media servers and
RAID system.
For its part, the K2 media server
manages the file system and controls
file transfer protocol (FTP) operations. K2
storage offers options for internal drives
or external RAID systems that can scale
to more than 50 terabytes.
K2 Summit Production Client
The K2 Summit Production Client
is a 2 RU platform with redundant
hot-swappable power supplies, and
redundant Ethernet ports. It includes
an Embedded OS that runs off of a
CompactFlash system drive providing
fast and reliable operation. To provide a
cost-effective design with no single point
of failure, each K2 Summit SAN client
offers two iSCSI or Fibre Channel ports
to provide a backup data path in case of
a failure.
To this architecture we’ve added our
Emmy®Award-winning core video
technology. Each channel is built around
a high-performance RISC processor, an
embedded real-time operating system,
and performs video/audio processing in
the robust and secure manner needed
for a 24/7, frame-accurate environment.
K2 Production Features
The K2 Summit Production Client has
been specifically designed for the
needs of live event productions such as
sporting events where instant replays
need to be available immediately at the
push of a button.
All channels are bi-directional and can
easily and quickly switch between record
and play.

ChannelFlex-Compatible
ChannelFlex*1 doubles K2 Summit’s
capability from four bi-directional channels
to application-specific configurations
equivalent to eight channels:
Record up to 8 camera feeds•
Record up to two 2X/3X super slo-mo•
cameras
Record up to four 3D cameras or•
video+key pairs
Play up to four 3D files or video+key•

Flexible Monitoring Options
With the built-in VGA multiviewer*2,
all four channels can be monitored in
normal mode or up to eight channels
when ChannelFlex*1 is in operation. An
SDI monitor output is available with
timecode burn-in for each channel.
A user-definable text overlay option*2 is
available for both monitor displays that
enables various information such as
channel/clip name, transport controls, play
speed, audio meters etc. to be displayed
in any location with various text sizes and
colors.
Built-in Mix Effects
For generating quick highlight packages,
often all that is required is simple
dissolves or fades between two clips.
Each channel has this capability built-in
(most servers require two channels to
do a mix effect). An integrated mixer
dissolves between two clips or to a
matte color. The color and transition
times are user-definable.
Multiple Format Capabilities
The K2 Summit Production Client is the
only server that provides agile codecs
enabling playback of SD or HD content
seamlessly on the same timeline with
any supported format (DV/DVCPRO,
MPEG-2, or AVC-Intra). It automatically
up-, down-, or crossconverts a clip to
the desired output resolution providing
full support for all SD and HD formats.
The K2 Summit Production Client also
supports the industry AFD standard for
aspect ratio conversion. As a result,
you only need to store a single-format
version of a clip in order to play it out in
the appropriate SD or HD format.
Advanced Video Playback Features
The K2 Summit Production Client
features smooth, high-quality, bi-
directional, slow-motion playback, and
enhanced jog/shuttle control for all
formats including MPEG-2 Long GOP.
Playback trails recording by a fraction
of a second so replay is virtually
instantaneous*2. Slo-mo playback and
freeze frames are jitter-free at even the
slowest speeds due to the use of line
interpolation technology.

Audio and Closed Caption/Teletext Multilingual Support
Each video channel has up to 8 AES/EBU or 16 embedded channels
of PCM or compressed audio. For easy track management, each
audio track can be identified with a language descriptor*2.
Additional audio features include scrub audio up to 2X, audio
meters for each channel, an internal audio delay capability, and
the ability to adjust levels during recording or playback. It also
performs an audio ramp down/ramp up between clips to eliminate
audio clicks and/or pops.
Additional audio tracks can be imported into a clip*2 to easily
add additional languages. In addition multiple closed captions or
teletext files can be imported from third-party captioning editors
for additional language support.
