Installing a MPEG/Multi-Cam codec option upgrade
This section provides instructions for the following field
kits:
- If you intend to upgrade K2 software along with this Field Kit upgrade, upgrade K2 software first, then continue with this procedure.
- Shutdown the K2 Summit system.
-
Access the rear panel and remove as illustrated.
Improper handling can damage components on the board. Do not allow the board to come in contact with the chassis sheet metal during removal or installation. The components on the edge opposite the rear panel are the most susceptible to damage.
- Install codec option card as shown.
- Install the codec module into the K2 Summit system.
-
Start up the
K2 Summit system.
On restart, the K2 Summit system rescans hardware and automatically discovers the codec option card.
- 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 system can reconfigure appropriately.
-
After installing the card, start up and log on to
the K2 Summit system with administrator
privileges, then load software onto the codec board as follows:
- Stop all Grass Valley services except for Grass Valley Host File Service.
- From the Windows command prompt, navigate to the following directory: C:\profile
- Type the following and press Enter. srtploader -U
This ensures that the board is flashed with the proper version to be compatible with K2 software.
