Canon C300: These cameras provide ancillary data that produces start/stop commands

and timecode values but not clip naming. The Canon EOS C300 outputs 1080i by
default, but can produce true progressive video within this interlaced output. The
extraction of 1080p 23.98 from within 1080i 29.97 and 1080p 24 from within 1080i
30 is automatic if the camera is properly configured and the Camera Data selection is
set to Canon C300; users do not need to manually set the Record Type parameter
separately. However, for 1080p 25 that is output as 1080i 25 and 1080p 29.97 that is
output as 1080i 29.97 from the camera, users need to manually select "PsF" in the
Record Type (1.1) menu parameter even if they have selected the Canon C300 in the
Camera Data parameter. This selection is required because there is no ancillary data
indicating these frame rates within the SDI output of the camera.

32.0 Loss of Video

This parameter selects whether recording continues when valid video is not present.
These are the options:

NOTE:

If CONT Rec is selected, and a loss of video is encountered, a graphic with the text “LOSS OF
VIDEO” superimposed over color bars will appear. Be sure to check your source and video
connections if you are experiencing a loss of video.

35.2 REMOTE CONTROL

Enables or disables Ki Pro remote control by an external device. These are the options:

With the RS422 selection, an external RS422 controller or an NLE may be used to control
the Ki Pro. With the FW selection, an HDV camcorder’s start/stop commands and
timecode can be transmitted to the Ki Pro.

The CONFIG menu parameter 8.0 TC IN is set automatically to correspond to the RS422
Only or FW Only selections. When the 8.0 TC IN is set to RS422, it allows Ki Pro to accept
an RS422 in-point timecode value as the beginning timecode value for the recording.
Example: the value 01:00:00:00 is received as the in-point; this becomes the first frame of
the Ki Pro recording. If the 8.0 TC IN is set to FW 400, the timecode coming from the HDV
camera will be used for the recording; this can be particularly useful if an HDV camera
does not have SDI timecode or LTC timecode output.

NOTE:

Not all RS422/Firewire devices send timecode values. If the controlling device does not send a
timecode value, another timecode source may be selected in the CONFIG menu parameter 8.0
TC IN.

IMPORTANT:

Ki Pro can be used as a player or a recorder under RS422 operation, but when used as a
recorder, Ki Pro can only perform assemble edits, not insert edits. This means that Ki Pro
creates a new file for each assemble edit performed; Ki Pro cannot insert into an existing file.

Ki Pro can operate on a solitary clip under remote control or all of the clips on the Storage
Module. Whether one clip or all clips are active under RS422 is determined by the MEDIA
menu parameter 15.1 Play Media. IMPORTANT: Ki Pro may react erratically if invalid clips
or media are present and 15.1 Play Media "All" is selected.
