The Ki Pro Storage Module can be used to hold data other than Apple ProRes 422
QuickTime recordings. If other files are saved to the Ki Pro Storage Module, they should
be placed outside of the "AJA" folder. Any material inside of the "AJA" folder will be erased
if a MEDIA>Delete Clips>DELETE ALL is performed.
17.0 REEL NAME This parameter determines the reel name associated with all clips generated while using
this setting. These are the available options:
The reel name is a number between 001 and 999. It is historically linked to the naming
conventions used for film and tape-based media. The REEL NAME is an incrementing
three digit value that works with EDLs. For this reason, the parameter does not have a
“NONE” selection—all clips will be associated with a REEL NAME. The REEL NAME
parameter is also the name of the media as it will appear when the storage module is
mounted on a computer desktop (and media was formatted by the user). Note: the REEL
NAME cannot be changed once a recording session starts on the storage unit without
reformatting the drive.17.2 CLIP NAME
17.2 CLIP NAME This parameter determines the clip name associated with all clips generated while using
