17.3 CLIP NUMBER This parameter determines the clip number, from 1 to 999, that follows the CLIP NAME,

17.5 ALPHA APPEND This parameter is used with parameter 17.4 CLIP APPEND to append a text value after the

There are rules that Ki Pro observes in relation to Clips and Takes:
1. Ki Pro will not overwrite an existing clip when using standard clip naming.
2. The Take number will auto-increment past existing numbers for the “prefix” as
defined by the Reel Name, Clip Name, Clip Number, Clip Append, Alpha Append, and
Take settings.
3. If the number is at “999” , Ki Pro will not auto-increment; instead it will register a
“Name In Use” alarm. This prompts you to select a new Clip Name, Clip Number, Clip
Append, Alpha Append, and/or Take settings so that a new unique “prefix” is created.
This action ensures files are unique and understandable, and that clips are never
overwritten.
Custom Clip
Naming
Beginning with Ki Pro 2.0 firmware, users can elect to give their clips names other than
the standard criteria provided by AJA. IMPORTANT: Certain characters may not be
allowed or supported if entered for a clip name. Examples include: punctuation marks
(other than internal spaces or periods), special characters (like @), and non-ASCII UTF-8
characters are rejected outright. Note: non-UTF-8 characters appear in some languages,
like Chinese and Japanese, and are not supported.
Custom clip names can be created via the front panel UI menu parameters (19.1, 19.2,
and 19.4) through the use of the Select and Adjust arrows. Users may find that the more
efficient method to perform custom clip naming is via the web UI entry fields.
