AJA Ki Pro - Manual (Page 8)

8
FREERUN Free run mode: Ki Pro syncs to its own timebase and is not locked to an
external source
8.0 TC In This parameter selects the source of timecode from those available. In many cases, you will
want to replicate the timecode value coming from the camera. If you do not want to do this,
you can configure the TC Value or use the Ki Pro's internal clock to produce a timecode value
for your recordings.
8.1 TC Value This parameter selects an hour for timecode to start. Each subsequent recording after the first
time you set this value will increment until you reset the value. If you start with a recording at
01:00:00:00 and end at 01:00:14:11, then your next recording begins at 01:00:14:12.
8.2 TC Type This parameter selects drop frame or non-drop frame timecode.
Since the goal of this Quick Start Guide is to give you a basic understanding of configuring Ki
Pro, we will skip over the configuration of the ethernet and wireless parameters. For more
detailed information on how to configure these parameters, consult the Ki Pro Manual.
56.1 Date Set This parameter manually sets the calendar date of the internal Ki Pro clock. The value is
defined as YYYY/MM/DD (year/month/day). Using the adjust buttons, enter a calendar date
for Ki Pro.
Using the adjust buttons and the top SELECT button, select the characters for each category
(YYYY/MM/DD). The adjust buttons scroll through the choices and the top SELECT button
advances to the next character. While selecting characters, the character being changed will
flash to show its position. When finished, the final press of the SELECT up button will flash the
whole value, hit SELECT once more to confirm and the next menu parameter will appear.
56.2 Time Set This parameter manually sets the calendar date of the internal Ki Pro clock. Please note that
this time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) so if you are in another timezone, you will
need to remember to set this accordingly and not necessarily to the time you see on your
watch. Also note that the clock is 24 hour mode, not 12 hour display mode.
Using the adjust buttons, enter a time for Ki Pro’s clock. Using the adjust buttons and the top
Select button, select the characters for each digit (hours/minutes). The adjust buttons scroll
through the choices and the top Select button advances to the next character. While selecting
characters, the character being changed will flash to show its position.
When finished, the final press of the SELECT up button will flash the whole value, hit SELECT
once more to confirm and the next menu parameter will appear.
70.1 Screen Saver When set to “AJA Logo”, a rolling AJA logo screen saver will appear on the alphanumeric
display after 3 minutes of inactivity; inactivity is defined as no button presses on the front
panel. When the Screen saver is on, the STATUS button or STOP button will exit the screen
saver.
70.2 Display Intensity This parameter determines the brightness of the alphanumeric VFD display and front panel
backlit buttons.
70.3 Fan Speed This parameter determines the speed of Ki Pro’s internal cooling fan. In some environments
where audio recording is occurring close to the Ki Pro unit, it may be desirable to set the fan
speed to “QUIET RECORD” for optimum quiet operation.
After you've made the settings that you desire in the CONFIG parameters, you can exit the
menu by either hitting the CONFIG button again or hitting the STOP button.
Now that you've made all of the selections related to the audio, video, timecode and the basic
operation of the device, you can use the MEDIA menu to determine what compression you
will record in and how your clips will be named.
