The display for the CONFIG and MEDIA menus is shown below:
TRANSPORT Mode (default)
TRANSPORT mode is the default mode for Ki Pro Mini operation. When you power up Ki
Pro Mini, the first display you’ll see is TRANSPORT mode menu. Any clip that previously
was recorded is referenced in the display and can be played.
If the screen saver is on, pushing one of the transport buttons in the middle of the front
panel (PLAY, STOP, FF, REV, REC) dismisses the screen saver and returns to the current
display. A second press, or a first press if the screen saver is already off, immediately takes
action and causes the display to change to the TRANSPORT mode if it is not already
displayed. Settings you’ve made in the MEDIA menus are observed (more on that later).
You’ll always know you are in TRANSPORT mode as long as one of the MENU buttons
aren’t lit (STATUS, MENU, or MEDIA)—if one is lit, then you are in a “menu”.
When in the “Idle” mode, the CONFIG and MEDIA set-up menus can be accessed to adjust
various parameters that control Ki Pro Mini's operation.
Note that you must be in STOP, not PAUSE to access these menus—if you try to access
these menus without first having stopped playback, a “PRESS STOP” prompt will appear
on the LCD display. You can tell if the STOP button is in “pause” if the button is flashing.
There are certain times when transport controls are locked out. For example, when
ejecting media, or entering an IP address, the transport controls are locked out until the
operation is completed. Most other menu functions do not lock out the transport
controls.
At any time you only need to hit any transport button to exit (or “exit” a STATUS, CONFIG,
or MEDIA menu by pushing its button). Pressing a transport button sends the display into
the TRANSPORT default menu.
Several operations may result in an “ARE YOU SURE” interaction; for example, FORMAT
MEDIA. This protects you from inadvertent actions and ensures that accidental button
presses don’t have negative repercussions. When you answer yes to an ARE YOU SURE
prompt, the display then changes to an “in progress display”, and automatically returns
to the menu when the operation is complete.
When recording, Ki Pro Mini is in an E-to-E state.
Certain parameters are stored in non-volatile memory so that the parameter is
remembered between power cycles, for example: system name and date/time.
