Configuring record channel video settings

Video record compression settings are not global; they can be set on a channel by channel basis.
CAUTION:
When using a K2 Summit SAN-attached system with shared storage, bear in mind that any configuration changes that result in an increased bandwidth (such as increasing the bit rate, media formats, and ratio of record channels to play channels) affect load balancing. Therefore, if you change your intended use of a K2 Summit SAN-attached system and increase its bandwidth requirements, you risk losing media access. For a more detailed description of load balancing, see the "Installing and Servicing the K2 SAN" section of the K2 Topic Library.
