• Licensing for K2 system software — When upgrading, version 7.1.9 K2 system
software installs with a 30 day trial license. You must obtain a permanent license
from Grass Valley. When upgrading to version 7.1.9, make sure that you carefully
follow the upgrade and licensing procedures later in these release notes, so that
licensing features are correctly installed.
• 2910al series switch — A new Gigabit Ethernet switch, the “ProCurve Networking
Switch 2910al Series” is qualified for use with K2 Storage Systems. Its use and
configuration are the same as the existing 2900 series switch, as documented in
the K2 Storage Area Network Installation and Service Manual.
• K2 Coder — The K2 Coder is supported on the K2 SAN. The K2 Coder compatible
with this version of K2 software does not have watch folders pre-configured, so
you must create them yourself, as documented in the K2 Storage Area Network
Installation and Service Manual.
• Preroll setting — For mixed compression format playout (DV/MPEG/AVC-Intra),
the preroll is increased to 1 second. For same compression format playout, preroll
remains at 10 frames. This applies to AMP protocol, VDCP protocol, and Harris
settings Disk Prerolls, Frames to send Play early, and Frames to send Record early.
These specifications supersede those in the K2 System Guide part number
071-8726-00.
Version 7.0.13
• K2 Media Servers — Dell PowerEdge R710 and R610 are supported as K2 Media
Server platforms.
• Live Production option — In K2Config, you can now create a Live Production
K2 SAN. This type of SAN has a shorter minimum delay between start record and
start playout when the record and play are on different SAN K2 Summit Production
Clients. To support this feature, the K2 SAN must be sized for increased bandwidth.
Contact your Grass Valley representative for specifications relative to your needs.
Version 7.0.12
• K2 Dyno Reply Controller — For live event replay, the K2 Dyno Replay System
includes a K2 Dyno Controller and a K2 Summit Product Client.
• Final Cut Pro support — K2 FCP Connect is a licensable feature that allows your
Macintosh Final Cut Pro system to become a K2 SAN iSCSI client. This enables
edit in place functionality for K2 media via QuickTime reference files. Supports
DV, IMX, HD, and XDCAM formats.
Version 7.0.11
• K2 Summit Production Client — This new product is a SD/HD K2 client for
replay in sports, news, live, and live-to-tape applications. Its features are similar
to the current K2 Media Client.
