GV K2 Summit 3G+ Production Client

The K2 Summit 3G+ Production Client is optimized for a broad range of production and broadcast applications and is the only server that supports end-to-end SD/HD/3G/4K UHD workflows in DVCPRO, MPEG-2, AVC-Intra, H.264/AVCHD, DNxHD and ProRes formats.

The K2 Summit 3G+ Production Client is a 2 RU platform with redundant hot-swappable power supplies, as well as redundant Ethernet ports. Included with the 3G+ is a new modern OS, Windows 10, that providers users with a more reliable, modern day operating system. To this architecture Grass Valley has added its Emmy^® Award-winning core video technology. Each channel is built around a high-performance RISC processor, an embedded real-time operating system, and performs video/audio processing in the robust and secure manner needed for a 24/7, frame-accurate environment.
