Chapter 3: Ki Pro Installation
Installation Overview
The installation and set up of a Ki Pro is straight-forward. If you’ll be controlling the unit
from the front panel buttons and display, it’s ready right out of the box. Just cable the
system’s audio and video sources, VTR(s), monitors, and audio equipment, mount the Ki
Pro unit as desired, and begin recording.
The following topic details set up and installation of Ki Pro. There are two different ways
to set up and use the Ki Pro portable recorder:
• Stand-alone use
• Camera and mounting with optional Exo-skeleton (with or without a tripod)
Software setup is the same for both uses. Choices you will make include how Ki Pro will
be controlled (front panel, 802.11 wireless (iPhone etc.), or Ethernet & web-browser) and
the physical system requirements for your application (camera mount or not, video and
audio monitoring choices, and media workflows). First we’ll discuss mounting methods
and then follow up with software configuration and setup.
