K2 Summit Transmission models features
This chapter contains information that is unique to K2 Summit Transmission Client and Server
models. Refer to other chapters for information that applies to all K2 Summit systems.
K2 Summit Transmission Client and Server models are optimized for playout, rather than record.
Input/output configurations support the needs of playout applications. Higher efficiency MPEG-2
encoding reduces bandwidth and increases storage capacity. The result is that the K2 Summit
Transmission Client and Server models are restricted to a subset of K2 Summit system bit rates,
formats, and other features.
