followed for upgrading software so that as you take systems offline you manage
redundancy, servers, and clients, as appropriate for your system.
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.
Upgrading stand-alone K2 systems without SiteConfig
This section contains the tasks for upgrading stand-alone K2 systems to this release
of K2 software.
With these instructions you go to each local K2 system and upgrade software using
locally connected keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Work through the tasks sequentially
to complete the upgrade.
NOTE: These upgrade instructions assume that the current K2 software is at version
7.0.11 or higher. If the current K2 software is a 7.x version lower than 7.0.11, contact
Grass Valley Support before upgrading. If a K2 Media Client or any K2 device with
current K2 software at a 3.x version, do not upgrade, as version 7.x is not supported
on these devices.
NOTE: When upgrading from a version lower than 7.1, K2 system software installs
with a 30 day trial license. You need a permanent license to operate beyond the trial
period.
