2.2 AUDIO INPUT This parameter selects an audio input source from the audio input connections available,
including embedded SDI audio which requires an SDI video source and HDMI audio,
which requires an HDMI video source. These are the options:
NOTE: The message, “WARNING A/V Mismatch” may appear if SDI video is selected and HDMI audio
is selected or vice versa. Embedded audio, via SDI or HDMI, must be matched to the video
source. Analog audio can be used with any video input.
NOTE: XLR input could be microphone level or line level, depending on the connector panel switch
setting.
2.3 AUDIO CHANNELS This parameter selects the use of either two or eight audio channels via SDI embedded
audio. These are the options:
Generally, when working with camera sources, there are only one or two audio tracks
being produced, and therefore 2 channel would be the appropriate selection. In post
production use, there are often more channels of audio required, so 8 channel audio may
be the appropriate choice in such situations. Ki Pro only allows for the selection of either
2 channels or 8 channels of audio to be written to the QuickTime file that is recorded.
Therefore, if the source has more than 2 channels of audio, but less than 8 channels of
audio that need to be preserved, the CONFIG Menu parameter 2.3 Audio Channels would
need to be set to "8 Channels."
NOTE: Not all devices support 8 channel audio. Ki Pro does not provide a "mixdown" option for 8
channel recordings on output, so be sure to use devices that support 8 channel audio via SDI
if the 8 channels recorded are desired.
NOTE: If any selection other than SDI is made (RCA, XLR or HDMI) when 8 channels is selected, the Ki
Pro will provide a warning prompt, “WARNING 2 Channel Format”.
3.1 COMPONENT IN LVL This parameter selects the input level for signals applied at the component video input
connectors. These are the options:
NOTE: Setting the Ki Pro component input and/or output to "Beta" for HD material will result in an
"Invalid Selection" alarm that will need correction before recordings or other operations may
take place.
