Transport Mode (Default) - AJA Ki Pro Ultra Installation & Operation Manual

TRANSPORT Mode (default)

Ki Pro Ultra v1.2r1
TRANSPORT mode is the default mode for Ki Pro Ultra operation. Transport functions are
always functional except during some basic configuration operations as noted below.
When you power up Ki Pro Ultra, the first level overlay display will provide information for
any clip that previously was recorded and it can be played.
The display shows settings you've made in the MEDIA menus. You'll always know you are
in TRANSPORT mode when the MENU buttons (STATUS, CONFIG, or MEDIA) are not
highlighted —if one is highlighted, then you are in that menu.
When in the Idle mode (not playing or recording), you can access the CONFIG and MEDIA
set-up menus to adjust various parameters that determine Ki Pro Ultra's operation.
Note that you must be in STOP, not PAUSE (Stop button flashing) to access these
menus—if you try to access these menus without first having stopped playback, a "PRESS
STOP" prompt will appear on the LCD display.
There are certain times when transport controls are locked out. For example, when
ejecting media, or entering an IP address, the transport controls are locked out until the
operation is completed. Most other menu functions do not lock out the transport
controls.
At any time you only need to hit any transport button to exit (or "exit" a STATUS, CONFIG,
or MEDIA menu by pushing its button). Pressing a transport button sends the display into
the TRANSPORT default menu.
To protect from inadvertent actions, several operations (for example, Format Media) may
result in a "CONFIRM ACTION" display. This ensures that accidental button presses don't
cause problems. When you answer OK to a prompt, the display then changes to an "in
progress display", and automatically returns to the menu when the operation is
complete.

When recording, Ki Pro Ultra is in an E-to-E state.
Certain parameters are stored in non-volatile memory so that the parameter is
remembered between power cycles, for example: system name and date/time.
