Formatting Media

Ki Pro Ultra v1.2r1
Warning!
Since the Mains plug is used as the disconnection for the device, it must remain
readily accessible and operable.
Warning!
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the device.
Record to Pak media, a form of removable SSD media. The media is formatted as HFS+
and is native to the Mac OS file system. Media can be mounted on the Mac OSX desktop
for immediate editing and file access when used with the Pak Dock. To work with media
on Windows OS systems, you can use third-party software such as Mediafour's MacDrive
(recommended).
Caution!
Failure to properly mount or dismount media, or an unexpected loss of power while
recording, can result in an unrecoverable data loss.
Pak media is provided pre-formatted. However, if you want to format media that has
already been used or name media and format it during your shoot. To format Pak media,
the media must be inserted into a Media Slot. Once the media is mounted:
1. Press the MEDIA button
2. Rotate the User Interface Control Knob until you see the menu parameter 16.0
File System Formatting:
3. Push in the User Interface Control Knob.
4. Rotate the User Interface Control Knob to choose the type of file system formatting
(HFS+ or ExFAT).
5. Push in the User Interface Control Knob.
6. Rotate the User Interface Control Knob until you see the menu parameter 16.1
Format Media:
7. Push in the User Interface Control Knob.
8. Rotate the User Interface Control Knob until "OK" appears. Push in on the User
Interface Control Knob.
9. Press and hold in the User Interface Control Knob and formatting will begin.
You may select any other key to abort the format operation should you inadvertently enter
this menu parameter. The confirmation process used for formatting media helps you avoid
accidentally formatting media.
Warning! Once you have formatted media, you will not be able to recover recordings that
were previously made on the media. Always be sure that any media you format has been
properly backed up prior to formatting.
Ki Pro Ultra will display formatting progress and will display a completion confirmation
when done. Press any key to clear the completion prompt.
