Preface

TimeDelay is an optional application designed to interface with AppCenter. Since
TimeDelay is not a standalone application but rather interfaces with AppCenter on K2
Media Client, Turbo iDDR, or M-Series iVDR servers, the TimeDelay documentation
is provided to supplement the existing server documentation. This manual does not
cover basic AppCenter tasks except where they overlap with TimeDelay functions.

Once TimeDelay is inst alled, AppCenter includes a TimeD elay item in the
application droplist on all channels capable of recording.

For more inf ormation on installing TimeDelay, see the TimeDelay Release Notes.
