Files must be Ki Pro Mini supported frame rates and must use 24-bit 48kHz audio (2 or 8
channel), if audio is included. Files copied to Ki Pro Mini that do not meet these criteria
may not appear in the web UI or front panel UI when you review clips.
If the state is designated as Data, the Transport functions are locked; in other words,
media cannot be recorded or played back as video. You can still access MEDIA menu
parameters, however, so you can reset the parameter. If the you attempt to playback or
record while in the Data mode, a “CHANGE MEDIA STATE” prompt alerts you that you
cannot use the transport functions. Additionally, the front panel UI states that the unit is
in a “DATA MEDIA STATE” in an obvious way as opposed to presenting the typical clip,
reel, timecode, etc. usually seen on the front panel.
After you select the Data state, you can connect the Ki Pro Mini to a host computer via
the Ethernet connection. The Ki Pro Mini will allow access to the selected CF Card
designated by the lit LED. In other words, if the #2 CF module is selected on the Ki Pro
Mini, that would be the volume mounted by the host computer operating system.
The DATA MEDIA STATE does not survive reboots or power cycles of the device. After such
an event, it returns to the default Record-Play mode.
These are the options:
IMPORTANT: When the Ki Pro Mini Media State, Data - LAN selection is used, only the
web UI for control and configuration of the Ki Pro Mini may be used for data transfer. The
web UI will present "Upload+" and "Download+" buttons in the All Clips portion of the UI.
If the Data -LAN state is not active, these buttons do not appear in the web UI.
