K2 Dyno S Multi-Summit Sessions

A Dyno multi-Summit session includes play and record channels from multiple Summits. K2 Dyno Universe is a collection of Summits networked together over a 10G Ethernet connection. The Summit connection is done through a PCI express slot in which a 10G card has been installed.

K2 Dyno Universe introduces two replay systems which are optimized for 6X or 4K operation and are both fully 6X / 4K switchable. This allows for the use of existing K2 Summit 3G Client servers, SSD drives, and new shared sessions.

The 6X optimized system is 4RU, and is based on two K2 Summit server systems. The 4K optimized system is 6RU, and is based on three K2 Summit server systems. Both of these systems operate as integrated systems which are controlled as a single server with K2 Dyno S controllers.

K2 Dyno Universe replay systems offer 6X, 4K, HD & Zoom and requires half the rack space and operator count. The 4RU system offers 24 channels, and the 6RU system offers 36 channels. System scalability is delivered by connecting multiple system pods together over fast 10GigE ShareFlex connectivity.

An example of a multi-Summit session would include 2 Summits for recording, 1 (4K) Summit for playout over a 10G Ethernet. (The connection is through a 10G Ethernet switch through a PCI expression slot in the back of the Summit with a standard 10G card.) This 3 Summit solution represents a solution for a 4 in 2 out 4K system.
