An overview of the STATUS menu
STATUS does not require you to hit stop - like the CONFIG and MEDIA menus do. It is an "at-a-
glance" overview of your system. After pushing STATUS, you will see the input values you've
configured for the video and audio as well as the incoming video format that is being auto-
detected by the Ki Pro. If you are not sending valid video to the Ki Pro, you will see the STATUS
menu displaying "IN No Input" and "REC No Input"; if you do see this prompt, be sure that the
appropriate cabling from the camera to Ki Pro has been performed as well as the correct
menu selections for Video Input and Audio Input. If you are correctly set up, you will notice
that you see the incoming video signal (as an example 1080i29.97).
If you have not selected any conversions then the incoming video format will match the
record format. If you've selected a conversion of the incoming video, it will be noted on the
REC line of the display.
The values to the right of the display denote the video input on the first line and the audio
input selected on the second line. You can use the SELECT up arrow to determine if the
system is producing any alarms or if the system is operating as expected (in which case you
will see the "SYSTEM NORMAL" prompt).
You can exit STATUS just as you can with the CONFIG and MEDIA buttons, by simply hitting the
STATUS button again, or hitting the stop button.
Making a recording and playing back recordings
Now that you've configured everything, you are ready to make a recording. This is as simple
as hitting the record button when you are ready. When you no longer wish to record, hit the
stop button. After making your first recording, notice that the display will now show a clip
name on the upper left hand side instead of "N/A" as it would if the media was empty. The clip
naming parameters you used will be reflected in the clip name that appears. If you want to do
another take, simply hit the record button again, stop when you want to finish. Remember, Ki
Pro will continue incrementing the take number until you change a parameter of the clip
naming.
