selection other than “NONE” is selected, and an appropriate camera is present—and
sending appropriate ancillary data—then the metadata available from the camera will
be passed into the Ki Pro Mini’s timecode value, file name, and other applicable
parameters. Please read the discussion on Config Parameter 13.1 “Camera Data” in Chapter 3
for additional information.
Loss of Video (32.0): This parameter selects whether recording continues when valid video is not present.
Remote Control (35.2): Enables or disables Ki Pro remote control by an external device. 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 the HDV camera
does not have SDI timecode or LTC timecode output.
Operation is described fully in Chapter 3, Config Parameter 35.2, Remote Control.
Video SG Format (41.1): This parameter determines the video format output from Ki Pro’s internal test signal
generator.
Video SG (41.2): This parameter determines the video signal output from Ki Pro’s internal test signal
generator. This parameter is used with parameter above (41.1) to determine the type of
video test signal output by Ki Pro.
Audio SG (41.3): This parameter determines the audio signal output from Ki Pro’s internal test signal
generator (OFF, silence, or 1 kHz tone).
System Name (50.5): This parameter defines a name for Ki Pro and gives it a unique identifier. This same name
is used both when displaying systems via the web interface/wireless and for display on Ki
Pro’s screen saver (if System name is chosen in Parameter 70.1 Screen Saver).
User Authentication (50.9): This parameter enables or disables an authentication login requirement when using the
web UI.
Date Set (55.4/55.6): This parameter manually sets the calendar date and time of the internal Ki Pro clock. Edit
the date and time fields and then click Apply to set the date and time.
Screen Saver (70.1): When set to “AJA Logo”, a rolling AJA logo screen saver will appear on the alphanumeric
display after 3 minutes of inactivity—defined as no button presses on the front panel.
Display Intensity (70.2): This parameter determines the brightness of the alphanumeric display and front backlit
buttons.
Fan Speed (70.3): This parameter determines the speed of Ki Pro’s internal cooling fan. In some
environments where audio recording is occurring close to the Ki Pro unit, it may be
desirable to set the fan speed to “QUIET AUTO” or “QUIET RECORD”.
Media Screen
The Media screen offers settings for a variety of media-related functions, including
formatting storage media, type of Apple ProRes 422 encoding, and reel and clip
definitions.
