Product Description
The K2 ASI Media Client is an MPEG-2 transport stream capture device that uses the
K2 SAN for media storage. It receives a live Multiple Program Transport Stream from
an ASI input and provides advanced record capabilities of this stream (manual or
triggered captures). Material recorded by K2 ASI Media Client then manifests as a K2
clip on the SAN.
The K2 ASI Media Client comes with the following items:
• A 2-RU rackable device
• An ASI input card, limited to 84 Mb/s
• A dual port Gigabit Ethernet adapter for remote control and iSCSI access to shared
storage
• An RS-422 card for remote control
• A Software Suite, which allows operating captures locally or remotely
