AJA Ki Pro Mini - Manual (Page 82)

KiPro Mini v4.2 www.aja.com 82
Note that as of firmware 2.0, Ki Pro can initiate recordings among units quickly, but not all
units will begin or end recordings precisely at the same time or the same frame. This is
not really an issue if matching timecode via SDI embedded RP-188 or LTC is sent to each
unit from a timecode generator via discrete outputs on the timecode generator or via a
distribution amplifier for the timecode. Note that many non-linear edit systems, like Final
Cut Pro, can sync clips based on timecode values for multi-clip editorial. Also note that Ki
Pro does not, as of 2.0 firmware, provide simultaneous playback of media; only record
start and stop functions are available.

Using Playlists
Beginning with Ki Pro Mini version 3.0 firmware, AJA provides tools for reviewing clips
and creating playlists of clips. These clip playlists can be managed on the web browser
Playlists screen, which includes a default All Clips playlist showing all clips on the Ki Pro
Mini unit.
Working with the All
Clips Playlist
The default state of the Playlists is to list All Clips available. All Clips represents all of the
recordings made on the Ki Pro Mini or valid files transferred to the Ki Pro Mini.

You can cue up a clip quickly for review by simply double-clicking the clip in the list.
Note that once you've double-clicked a clip to select it, it will be highlighted in blue in
the list and the first frame of video from that clip will appear on the output of the Ki Pro.
Mini. To play back the clip, simply open the Transport page of the web UI and begin
playback with the Play button. You can even quickly scan material by setting the
Media>Play Media>All selection so that as you highlight clips for review, they will
continue playing out of the Ki Pro outputs.
