Configuring K2 Summit video IP addresses

Connect the K2 Summit system as described in the K2 Summit 3G Quick Start Guide.

After the unit has powered on and finishes booting, log in to the system and open AppCenter.

Select Configuration from the System menu to access the Configuration Manager settings.

Select the System tab to verify that the video reference is present and locked. See the "Configuring video reference standard settings" topic for more information. The K2 Summit's SMPTE 2022-6 implementation requires the use of synchronous media streams.

Select the Channel tab. Summit codec boards that have 10GigE SFP+ cages will have a "IP I/O" section in the corresponding Channel configuration information. Summit codec boards that lack 10GigE SFP+ cages will omit the 10GigE Setup section and other 10GigE configuration items, but otherwise, the Summit IP codec board's configuration and functionality is intended to provide a SMPTE 2022-6 super set for the Summit 3G codec board's 3G-SDI capabilities.

IP Address Configuration for each IP-capable K2 Summit Channel can be performed by clicking on IP I/O Configuration.... as shown in the screen shots above. This action will cause a pop-up menu to appear. The details of using the Channel IP I/O Configuration pop-up menu (shown in screen shot above) to receive or transmit SMPTE 2022-6 media streams are described in the "Configuring Channel IP I/O" topic.

The next portion of the second screen shot shown above shows an IP Redundancy setting that is visible with an IP-capable channel pair (C1/C2 or C3/C4) when both channels in the pair have been configured for the Player/Recorder mode of operation and the 10GigE input has been selected. The configuration and use of the IP Redundancy related settings will be described in the "Using IP redundancy" topic.
The SFP/Link Status indicator can display multiple colors to indicate status.

Table 1. SFP/Link Status Indicator
Color	Definition
Black	No SFP module has been plugged into the codec board for the channel.
Grey	SFP module has been plugged into the codec board, but no 10GigE network link has been detected.
Green	A SFP module is present and an there is an active 10GigE network link.

In the Video Input portion of the Channel configuration, the Input Type setting can be used to select between SDI and 10GigE as shown in first two screen shots above. The 10GigE Video Input Type is supported with the Player/Recorder, 3D/Video + Key Recorder, and Multi-Cam Recorder modes of operation. Super Slo-Mo Recorder and 4K Recorder modes of operation are supported only via the SDI Video Input Type.
The Video Input Present indicator is green when a valid video signal matching is detected at the video input selected via the Input Type setting.
Protocols supported by the Summit's 10GigE network interface include ARP, SMPTE 2022-6, IGMPv2, and responding to ICMP. The ICMP implementation is limited to responding to ICMP/ping messages. The K2 Summit IP system can not ping a remote host. The IP address used for ICMP responses is the Receiver IP Address. As a consequence, if the Receiver IP Address is configured to be a multicast address then there will be no response to pings by that receiver instance
