Parameters

12.1 Media State

Ki Pro Ultra v1.2r1
"WARNING Name in Use" appears if the clip name specified in the naming parameters
already exists on the media; this happens when take 999 is reached and no more take
numbers are available. Ki Pro Ultra will refuse to overwrite the clip; you will have to delete
the clip or select a new name.
"WARNING No Clip Name" appears if you attempt to record in gang mode using a non-
existent custom clip name.
"WARNING Genlock Missing" appears if you choose "Input" or "Ref In" for 6.1 Genlock and
you attempt to play a clip and no genlock is detected on the selected input.
"WARNING 2 Channel Format" appears if the number of channels selected in 2.3 Audio
Channels is eight, but the selected audio input only supports two channels.
"WARNING Invalid Selection" may appear if unsupported menu selections are made for
video input, record type, encode type, etc.
As the name implies, these menu parameters display choices related to media storage
and the type of encoding to be used. There are also menus for naming reels, clips and
takes.
This parameter applies to using the Ki Pro Ultra to transfer data.These are the options:
Record-Play (default)
Data-LAN
For normal video operation, select Record-Play. For data transfer using an Ethernet LAN,
choose Data-LAN. The Data Media State allows valid media to be copied to or from the
Ki Pro Ultra. Valid media files for copy to Ki Pro Ultra are the following:
• QuickTime files that are full raster—4096-by-2160 (4K), 3840-by-2160 (UltraHD), 2048-
by-1080 (2K), 1920-by-1080 (HD), and 1280-by-720 (HD).
• QuickTime files that are encoded as:
Apple ProRes 444
Apple ProRes 422 HQ
Apple ProRes 422
Apple ProRes 422 LT
Apple ProRes 422 PX
Files must be Ki Pro Ultra supported frame rates and must use 24-bit 48kHz audio (2 or 8
channel), if audio is included. Files copied to Ki Pro Ultra that do not meet these criteria
may not appear in the web UI or front panel UI when you review clips.
If the state is designated as Data, the Transport functions are locked; in other words,
media cannot be recorded or played back as video. You can still access MEDIA menu
parameters, however, so you can reset the parameter. If the you attempt to playback or
record while in the Data mode, a "CHANGE MEDIA STATE" prompt alerts you that you
Use media to record and play video.
LAN data may be uploaded/downloaded to/from Ki Pro Ultra.
