Installing Control Point software

If you are using the Grass Valley Control Point PC, it comes from the factory with software installed,
so you should not need to install software.

If you intend to use a PC that you own as a Control Point PC, make sure that you choose a PC that
meets system requirements for supporting Control Point software. Then install software and configure
as follows:

1. Set up Windows user accounts according to your site’s security policies. Refer to related topics

in "K2 Release Notes" for the list of accounts and passwords.

2. Install the following software, as it is required to support K2 Control Point software:

MSXML 4.0

.NET Framework 1.1

You can find this software on your K2 Summit/Solo system's USB Recovery Flash Drive.

3. Install K2 Control Point PC software, as referenced earlier in this chapter.
