HD/SD models support encode and decode of SD VBI data and HD Ancillary data,
with appropriate up/down conversion for playout.
Features of internal storage models
Both HD/SD and SD-only models are available with internal storage, consisting of 12
disk drives configured as six RAID 1 pairs, or LUNs. One LUN is the system drive,
while five LUNs are for media storage. This makes the internal storage K2 Media
Client a self-contained, stand-alone unit, with no external devices for storage, audio,
or video connections required. You can transfer media in and out of the internal
storage K2 Media Client via Gigabit Ethernet.
Refer to Chapter 4, Managing Internal Storage for more information.
Features of external storage models
Both HD and SD-only models are available as external storage clients. Multiple
external storage K2 Media Clients connect to the K2 Storage System via Gigabit
Ethernet to share a common pool of storage. The external storage K2 Media Client
contains two internal disk drives that make up the RAID 1 system drive.
