GRASS VALLEY K2 - Deploy Control Point PC Software

3. If a newer version of SiteConfig is available for upgrade and you have not yet
upgraded SiteConfig, do the following:
a) From Windows Add/Remove programs, uninstall the current version of
SiteConfig from the control point PC.
b) Install the new version of SiteConfig on the control point PC.
4. If not already present in the SiteConfig system description, configure deployment
groups as follows:
• A deployment group that contains your SAN K2 clients
• A deployment group that contains your K2 Media Servers
• A deployment group that contains your control point PC
Deploy control point PC software
Use SiteConfig to upgrade control point software on the K2 control point PC. In most
cases, the K2 control point PC is also the SiteConfig control point PC, so you are in
effect using SiteConfig to upgrade software on its own local system.
For this release of K2 software, the install task identifies the control point software in
the Managed Package column as follows:
• GrassValleyControlPoint 7.2.7.xxxx
The software deployment process for the control point PC is similar to that used to
upgrade software on other K2 devices. Use similar procedures and adjust accordingly
to do the following:
1. Add the K2 control point software package to the deployment group that contains
the control point PC.
2. Check software on the control point PC.
3. Configure and run deployment tasks to upgrade software.
Unlock K2 Summit Production Clients
This task disables the write filter on one or more K2 Summit Production Clients.
Prerequisites for this task are as follows:
• The device or all the devices in the group are communicating correctly in
SiteConfig. This is indicated by the green star icon overlay.
• The device or all the devices in the group are currently locked. This is indicated
by the gray lock icon overlay.
1. If you have not already done so, stop all media access on the K2 systems. This
includes record, play, and transfer operations.
2. In either the Network Configuration | Devices tree view or the Software Deployment
| Deployment Groups tree view, identify the device or the group of devices that you
intend to unlock.
