1.3 PROGRESSIVE
PLAYBACK

1.4 IN CONVERT

Ki Pro Ultra v1.2r1
The CONFIG menu is for system set-up and configuration. Each parameter is numbered,
in the same manner as the MEDIA menus.
Many of the CONFIG menu parameters are used together to configure the type of Ki Pro
Ultra recording and associated conversion formats used on the input or output for a
particular workflow.
This parameter defines the frame recording method. RECORD TYPE can be configured to
record the incoming video signal in a "NORMAL" manner (a standard format) or "PsF"
progressive format.
NORMAL (default)
PsF
NOTE: A 23.98Hz source is automatically treated as PsF, regardless of this setting. For 29.97 Hz or 25
Hz, "NORMAL" means encode as interlaced and "PSF" means encode as progressive. This only
applies to 1080 formats. The following details clarify each case:
• 1080PsF 23.98 incoming video > Normal selected > 1080p 23.98 recorded to disk.
• 1080i 25 incoming video > PsF selected > 1080p 25 recorded to disk.
• 1080i 29.97 incoming video > PsF selected > 1080p 29.97 recorded to disk.
• 1080PsF signal is recorded to disk as progressive; progressive material on disk may be
played back as PsF or progressive on the video outputs; this selection can be made in
parameter 1.3 Progressive Playback.
This parameter defines the format applied when progressive media is played from
storage. These are the options:
Progressive (default)
PsF
NOTE: HDMI output of progressive material requires the use of 1080p Playback set to Progressive;
HDMI only tends to support true progressive or interlace video, not PsF.
This parameter sets input conversion to one of the available selections. These are the
options:.
None (default)
4K Crop to UltraHD
4K/UltraHD to 2K/1080
Note that the 4K Crop to UltraHD selection and the 4K /UltraHD to 2K/1080 selections
have no impact if 2K or 1080 video is input. By default, the Ki Pro Ultra will output 2K on
the SDI monitor and HDMI monitor outputs if the incoming signal is 4K (4096x2160) or 2K
(2048x1080) and no "IN CONVERT" is applied. Also by default, if the incoming signal is
UltraHD (3840x2160) or HD 1920x1080P, the Ki Pro Ultra outputs 1080 HD on the SDI and
HDMI Monitor outputs.
Also, if the 4K Crop to UltraHD "IN CONVERT" selection is used, the Ki Pro Ultra will output
1080 HD on the SDI and HDMI Monitor outputs.
