    NOTE: If Ki Pro Mini fails to find a DHCP server via its network connection, it will fall back to using the factory default static IP of 192.168.0.2—or whatever IP address you’ve previously defined. AJA recommends you define a Static IP address with parameter 50.2 so you’ll be prepared in the event your DHCP server fails.

    Recording a Clip There is more than one way to record a clip since you can control Ki Pro Mini in numerous ways. The MEDIA and CONFIG menus presented later in this chapter detail the parameters available to control recording. Before we get into that level of detail, here’s an example of just how simple recording can be: 7.
