AJA Ki Pro Mini - Manual (Page 53)

KiPro Mini v4.2 www.aja.com 53
NOTE: 1. Not all devices support 8-channel audio. Ki Pro Mini does not provide a "mixdown"
option for 8 channel recordings on output, so be sure to use devices that support 8-
channel audio via SDI if the 8 channels recorded are desired.
2. If 8 Channels are selected for 2.3 Audio Channels, but 2.2 Audio Input is set to any
selection other than SDI (XLR or HDMI), then a Warning prompt will appear on the
display "Warning 2 Channel Format." Clear this warning by selecting SDI audio as the
input source in 2.2 Audio Input or by selecting 2-channel audio in 2.3 Audio Channels.
NOTE: If any selection other than SDI is made (RCA, XLR or HDMI) when 8 channels is selected, the Ki
Pro will provide a warning prompt, “WARNING 2 Channel Format”.
4.1 ANALOG AUDIO This parameter configures the analog audio signal levels for input and output. These are
the options:
Professional audio equipment has much higher levels than consumer equipment: a 0 VU
reading corresponds to +4 dBu. Connecting a professional +4 dBu device to a consumer
audio input -10dBV (-7.8 dBu) may cause overloading, whereas the output of a consumer
device probably does not have sufficient power to drive a professional audio input. With
consumer and semi-professional audio equipment, a VU reading of 0 dB is typically
referenced to -10 dBV. 0 dBu = 0.775 VRMS. These settings are valid with the panel Mic/
Line switch set to “Line.” (The Mic settings are lower input level settings for use with
condenser and dynamic microphones—use Mic +48 for powered condenser mics and
Mic for dynamic microphones.)
6.1 GENLOCK This parameter selects source of reference video used to genlock to during playback. Ki
Pro Mini always genlocks to the selected input during capture. These are the options:
8.0 TC IN This parameter selects the source of timecode from those available. These are the
options:
+24dBu (default)
+18dBu
+15dBu
+12dBu Selects pro-level USA signal levels of +24dBu
Selects pro-level Europe signal levels of +18dBu
Selects pro-level German signal levels of +15dBu
Selects consumer signal levels of +12dBu
Note: Maximum amplitude (0 dBFS)
INPUT
FREERUN (default) Use the currently selected input as the Genlock source
Free run mode: Ki Pro Mini syncs to its own timebase and
is not locked to an external source
TC VALUE (default)
SDI RP188
HDMI
LTC
TIME OF DAY
Use the value specified in parameter 8.1 TC VALUE
Use the timecode read from the embedded RP188
metadata in the SDI input
Use the timecode from the HDMI input of select Sony and
Canon camcorders
Use timecode from the LTC input connector
Set TC to “Time of Day” clock (CONFIG parameter 55.6)
