AJA Ki Pro - Manual (Page 41)

Ki Pro v3.2 www.aja.com 41
In the CONFIG or MEDIA menus, the Select buttons select various adjustable parameters,
and the Adjust buttons adjust the selected parameter. When entering a menu, the
system remembers and returns to the last selected parameter. The following shows the
displays for the CONFIG and MEDIA menus
TRANSPORT Mode (default)
TRANSPORT mode is the default mode for Ki Pro operation. When you power up Ki Pro,
the first display you’ll see is TRANSPORT mode menu. Any clip that previously was
recorded is referenced in the display and can be played.
If the screen saver is on, pushing one of the transport buttons in the middle of the front
panel (PLAY, STOP, FF, REV, REC) dismisses the screen saver and returns to the current
display. A second press, or a first press if the screen saver is already off, immediately takes
action and causes the display to change to the TRANSPORT mode if it is not already
displayed. Settings you’ve made in the MEDIA menus are observed (more on that later).
You’ll always know you are in TRANSPORT mode as long as one of the MENU buttons
aren’t lit (STATUS, MENU, or MEDIA)—if one is lit, then you are in a “menu”.
When in the “STOP” mode, the CONFIG and MEDIA set-up menus can be accessed to
adjust various parameters that control Ki Pro's operation. Note that you must be in STOP,
not PAUSE to access these menus—if you try to access these menus without first having
stopped playback, a “PRESS STOP” prompt will appear on the VFD display. You can tell if
the STOP button is in “pause” if the button is flashing.
At certain times transport controls are locked out. For example, when ejecting media, or
entering an IP address, the transport controls are locked out until the operation is
completed. Most other menu functions do not lock out the transport controls.
At any time you only need to hit any transport button to exit (or “exit” a STATUS, CONFIG,
or MEDIA menu by pushing its button). Pressing a transport button sends the display into
the TRANSPORT default menu.
Several operations may result in an “ARE YOU SURE” interaction; for example, FORMAT
MEDIA. This protects you from inadvertent actions and ensures that accidental button
presses don’t have negative repercussions. When you answer yes to an ARE YOU SURE
prompt, the display then changes to an “in progress display”, and automatically returns
to the menu when the operation is complete.
When recording, Ki Pro is in an E-to-E state. However, any conversions selected (on input
or output) will be applied. This means you can specify the type of recording via the In
Convert as “None”, leaving the incoming signal as is, or convert the signal to another
format for your recording.
