About 4K

This feature is part of the ChannelFlex Suite, which requires the AppCenter Elite license. The 4K feature is only available on the K2 Summit 3G system chassis. First generation K2 Summit system and K2 Summit/Solo system chassis are not supported.

You can set a K2 Summit 3G system channel to 4K Recorder (Top) to record two of the four quadrants of a 4K image. The next channel is automatically set to 4K Recorder (Bottom) to record the other two quadrants. Both channels are ganged to act as one recorder, so two adjacent ganged channels are used to record all four quadrants of a 4K image.

Note: Only C1 or C3 have the option to be selected as 4K Recorder (Top) or 4K Player (Top). There are no selectable 4K options for C2 and C4. C1 will always gang with C2, and C3 will always gang with C4.

When you record a 4K clip, SDI IN1 of the first channel is 4K Recorder Top Left and SDI IN2 is 4K Recorder Top Right. On the next channel, SDI IN1 is 4K Recorder Bottom Left and SDI IN2 is 4K Recorder Bottom Right.

When you play a 4K clip, two adjacent ganged channels are used to play all four quadrants of a 4K clip. On the channel configured as a 4K Player (Top) channel, SDI OUT1 is 4K Player Top Left and SDI OUT2 is 4K Player Top Right. On the next channel, SDI OUT1 is 4K Player Bottom Left and SDI OUT2 is 4K Player Bottom Right.

You can record a single 4K clip with four 1080p video tracks and one timecode track. You can also have proxy live streaming of the 4K clip to/from other K2 Summit 3G systems.
