Real Time System
Each channel hosts a complete Real Time system that provides the core video disk recorder functionality. Primary components are as follows:
- Dedicated processor for media access and processing.
- Codec circuits responsible for encoding/decoding video and processing audio and timecode, including the media-related input and output connectors.
The Real Time system uses a dedicated operating system. This operating system manages all the hardware involved in controlling the flow of video, audio, timecode, genlock, and GPI in and out of the K2 system.
