• 1080PsF 23.98 incoming video > Normal selected > 1080p 23.98 recorded to disk.

• 1080i 25 incoming video > PsF selected > 1080p 25 recorded to disk.

• 1080i 29.97 incoming video > PsF selected > 1080p 29.97 recorded to disk.

• 1080PsF signal is recorded to disk as progressive; progressive material on disk may be

played back as PsF or progressive on the video outputs; this selection can be made in
parameter 1.3 1080p Playback.

VFR (Variable Frame Rate) recording makes use of meta data embedded in the RP188
data stream on the SD-SDI/HD-SDI input, allowing for the frame rate to change actively.
Examples of cameras offering variable frame rate include Panasonic AJ-HDC27 and
several cameras from the Panasonic HPX line.

Beginning with Ki Pro version 3.0 firmware, select cameras that output 1080p within a
1080i signal are also supported by the VFR selection. For the Canon XH-G1s, 1080p 23.98
may be extracted from the 1080i 29.97 signal when VFR is selected. For the Canon EOS
C300, 1080p 23.98 may be extracted from the 1080i 29.97 signal and 1080p 24 may be
extracted from the 1080i 30 signal. For the Canon EOS C300 formats of 1080p 25 and
1080p 29.97, set the Record Type to PsF to produce progressive frame recordings.

1.3 1080p PLAYBACK

This parameter defines the format applied when 1080p media is played from storage.
These are the options:

NOTE:

HDMI output of progressive material requires the use of 1080p Playback set to Progressive;
HDMI only tends to support true progressive or interlace video, not PsF.

1.4 IN CONVERT

This parameter defines the type of up, down, cross, or aspect-ratio conversion, if any,
applied to the selected input and stored when recording.These are the options:

NOTE:

There is one converter available for input—if selected, it will be applied to the currently
selected input. Also, input conversion of 1080psf23.98 sources is not supported.

1.5 OUT CONVERT

This parameter defines the type of up, down, cross, or aspect-ratio conversion, if any,
applied to the output when playing media from storage or while recording. These are the
options:

NOTE:

There is one converter available for output—if selected, it will be applied as appropriate,
based on other settings (1.6, 1.7 and 1.8) possibly affecting multiple outputs.
Output conversion of 1080psf23.98 is only supported for SD (not 720p).
