GV STRATUS — Support for Grass
Valley's GV STRATUS® Video Production and Content
Management System.
Proxy/live streaming — When licensed and configured to do so, the K2
Summit system creates low-resolution representations of high-resolution media.
The system generates a live stream at inputs and outputs. The system also
creates proxy files for recorded assets. Proxy/live streaming functionality is
included in AppCenter Pro and AppCenter Elite licenses. This functionality
requires the currently shipping Type II carrier module. To access proxy/live
streaming for application workflows, you must use a supported GV STRATUS system configuration, which includes a separate proxy
server. Direct access on a K2 Summit system alone is not supported.
Unified file system — The media file system supports direct access and
interchange with the GV STRATUS Video Production and Content
Management System.
Credentials — Default user accounts and passwords change for better
integration across all Grass Valley products.
USB Recovery Flash
Drive — The size increased to 16 GB.
Upgrade — Upgrading
existing K2 Summit systems to software version
8.0.x
is a disk image process and requires upgraded hardware as well. Software-only
upgrade is not supported. Therefore, you must procure an upgrade field kit from
Grass Valley, as follows:
K2-XDP-CPU-FK —
Includes a Type II carrier module with the new higher performance CPU/COM
Express board. Order this field kit if you require proxy/live streaming support
and your K2 Summit system does not already have a Type II carrier module.
K2-XDP-V8x-FK — Does
not include a Type II carrier module. Order this field kit if your K2 Summit
system already has a Type II carrier module or if you do not require proxy/live
streaming support.
Both field kits include the disk image, CompactFlash, USB
Recovery Flash Drive, and documentation required for the upgrade to version
8.0.x
software.
