Clip Number (17.3): This parameter determines the clip number, from 1 to 999, that follows the CLIP NAME,
and is associated with all clips generated while using this setting. To enter a value, click
on the number to highlight it, type in a value, and press Enter to confirm the new value.

"forward" arrow on your keyboard.

the CLIP NUMBER or have no text appended.
Alpha Append (17.5): This parameter is used with parameter 17.4 CLIP APPEND to append a text value after the
CLIP NUMBER.
Take (17.8): This parameter determines the TAKE number, from 1 to 999, generated for all clips while
using this setting. The TAKE number follows the CLIP NAME, CLIP NUMBER, and ALPHA
APPEND (if selected).
Use Custom Clip Name (19.1): This parameter enables or disables whether a custom clip name can be used. Refer to
“Custom Clip Naming” in Chapter 3 for greater detail.
Custom Clip Name (19.2): This parameter allows you to enter a custom clip name. To enter, click on the default
name, “Custom” and type a new name. Once entered, you’ll have to click the Apply
button for it to take effect and be used.
Use Custom Clip Take (19.3): This parameter enables or disables whether a custom clip take name will be used. If
enabled, takes increment sequentially from the first value selected.
NOTE: The selection of Use Custom Clip Take is only available via the REST interface, not via the front
panel UI or web UI, and it does not survive reboots.
Custom Take (19.4): This parameter allows you to define a custom take number. Once entered, you’ll have to
click the Apply button for it to take effect. To enter a specific value, click on the number to
highlight it, type in a value, and press Enter to confirm the new value. You may also click
and drag on the slider to make adjustments. To increment by single values using the
slider, click the slider to highlight it, and then press the "back" arrow or "forward" arrow
on your keyboard.
Gang Clip Name (22.1): This parameter is used when performing gang recording via multiple Ki Pros (refer to
Controlling Multiple Ki Pros earlier in this Chapter). If you want to name clips the same
way across all the recordings of Ki Pro ganged units, then use the "Master Name" pull
down selection. If you want to name clips independently on Ki Pro units, then select
"Slave Name" from the pull down. Selecting "Slave Name" means that the recording will
take it's name from the individual Ki Pro's parameters and not accept the value pushed to
the Slave by the Master Ki Pro. Refer to “Custom Clip Naming” in Chapter 3 for greater
detail.
Caution!
If a custom clip name is not changed and the "Use Custom Clip Take" parameter is not
enabled, an existing clip can be overwritten on the disk. Example: the first recording
made is called "Flying" and the "Custom Clip Take" parameter is not enabled;
additionally, the user does not enter a new value for the custom clip name and leaves
"Flying" entered. As a result, the first recording will be overwritten by the second
recording. AJA does not typically recommend disabling the use of the custom clip
take, but in some situations, overwriting an existing file may be desirable.
