Install software on K2 Dyno Controller
Before you install K2 Dyno Client software you must first uninstall the current version.
1. Copy the directory that contains the K2 Dyno Client software onto a portable USB drive, such
as a Flash drive.
2. Connect the USB drive to the K2 Dyno Controller and copy the Client directory to the K2 Dyno
Controller desktop.
3. In the Client directory, locate and open the following file:
setup.exe
4. Follow the onscreen instructions, and work through each page.
•
If this is the first install after a re-image, enter the K2 Dyno Replay Controller serial number
when prompted.
•
If the K2 Dyno System Configuration Tool opens, do not enter any information. Remove any
text from the serial number field, as it must be blank. Then click
OK
and when prompted
"...number is empty. Continue?", click
OK
.
•
If prompted "...update to new firmware?" click
Yes
, observe progress on the K2 Dyno
Controller Firmware Updater, and when a Success message displays, click
OK
.
5. Click
Next
and
Close
to complete the installation.
6. Remove the portable USB drive, if it is still connected.
7. Restart using standard Windows procedures.
8. When prompted "...back to K2 Dyno mode...?", click
Yes
.
The K2 Dyno Controller restarts.
Install MPEG-2/AVC-Intra field kit
If you are installing an MPEG-2 or AVC-Intra field kit upgrade on one or more or your K2
Summit Production Clients or K2 Solo Media Servers, do so now. Follow the procedure in the
Field Kit Upgrade Instructions document that you received with the field kit.
Make recovery images
After you have upgraded software as instructed in these procedures and verified that your system
is working properly, you should always make a recovery image of each of your upgraded
computers. Use a sequence of tasks similar to those you followed for upgrading software so that
as you take systems offline you manage redundancy, servers, and clients, as appropriate for your
system.
Refer to the Grass Valley product's Service Manual for recovery image procedures.
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.
