Codec module

The K2 Summit system has slots for two codec modules. Each codec module hosts two media input/output channels. The codec modules are oriented horizontally across the rear of the K2 Summit system chassis. They provide the majority of the K2 Summit system’s media-related input and output connectors on the rear panel. The codec modules plug into the midplane board.

A codec module can host a codec option card. The codec option card provides extended functionality to the channels hosted by the codec module.
