SELECT (up/down): The SELECT up/down buttons operate differently
depending on whether Ki Pro Mini is in the TRANSPORT mode or the
MENU mode. In the TRANSPORT mode, the SELECT buttons select clips
and operate like “previous” and “next” keys. When a clip is selected, Ki Pro
Mini “cues” it to the beginning. Note that ordering and playback of clips is
based on timestamp order (creation date), not clip name. However, in a playlist, ordering
and playback is determined by playlist order. In the MENU mode, the SELECT buttons
select parameters for adjustment. Holding down either of the SELECT buttons causes
them to repeat.
ADJUST (up/down): ): The ADJUST up/down buttons operate differently depending on
whether Ki Pro Mini is in TRANSPORT mode or MENU mode. In TRANSPORT mode, and in
the “Pause” mode (single push of STOP from PLAY mode), the ADJUST buttons “single
step” the current clip at a rate of one frame per button push (up=forward,
down=reverse). In the MENU mode, the ADJUST buttons adjust the selected parameter.
Holding down either of the ADJUST buttons causes them to repeat
DELETE CLIP Button: Dedicated button that when pressed, deletes the currently selected clip. When pressed,
the system displays a precautionary “ARE YOU SURE?” prompt. Press the up-arrow
ADJUST button to say “Yes” and delete the clip, or the down-arrow ADJUST button to
abort the deletion. When a clip is deleted, the next clip is then cued for deletion. Pressing
DELETE CLIP, STOP or any other button—while the “ARE YOU SURE” prompt is
displayed—cancels the delete operation. Pressing any button other than up-arrow
ADJUST always aborts deletion.
DELETE CLIP can be used in either the TRANSPORT menu or the MEDIA menu. When
pressed in the TRANSPORT menu with a current clip active (PLAY, REV, FF, RECORD), the
active mode will continue until the DELETE CLIP is confirmed.
SLOT Button: The SLOT button serves two purposes. First, it selects which Compact Flash (CF) card is
accessed by the system—either CF slot 1 or 2. Second, the SLOT button is used to
unmount a currently selected CF card.
Pushing the slot button cycles between unmounting media and selecting media. This
function is only active when in the “STOP” mode and requires a “PRESS STOP” if not
stopped. After you select a slot, the system returns to the last selected clip and timecode
for that slot. If the media has been changed since the slot was last selected (physically
removed/media replaced), then the “first” clip on the media will be “cued” to its start
point. If inserted media has any issues, additional prompts may be displayed as
appropriate such as: “WARNING Backup and Reformat” or “WARNING Media
Unformatted.”
NOTE: On power up, CF slot 1 is the initial storage system accessed by Ki Pro Mini.
CF Slot Release Buttons: Next to each CF slot is a push-to-eject button for removing the CF card. The push-to-
eject button should only be pushed after the CF card has been umounted.
Caution!
Not using the SLOT button to unmount the media can lead to issues with the media if the
media is removed prior to this action.
