Ki Pro Quad v5.2r3
To adjust an analog audio level, press the knob inward and the knob will then pop out for
easy adjustment. This feature allows the knobs to be recessed, preventing accidental
changes in a production environment.
To adjust headphone listening level, press the knob inward and the knob will then pop
out for easy adjustment—just like the audio input level knobs.
Shows menus, status, alerts and other information. Some words in the menus may be
truncated to fit the display limits. The LCD displays not only UI information, but also a
scaled version of the incoming signal or playback of recordings. When the monitoring
outputs are set to crop a signal to 1920x1080, a graticule is applied to the scaled image
on the LCD to alert the user.
7-segment LEDs show audio input levels for the 2 analog audio channels (respectively).
Knobs underneath the VU meters allow you to adjust the input levels independently to
prevent clipping and ensure proper signal amplitude.
Green—audio source signal level is in the "safe" area (no clipping). Vertically, the green
LEDs also show the signal strength, so you can see if the signal level is low. Generally, it's
preferred to have the signal near the top of the green or even occasionally peaking into
the yellow LEDs.
Yellow—audio source signal levels are at the peak edge of the safe area before clipping
will occur.
Red—audio source amplitude is too hot and the signal is clipping at its signal peaks. You
should reduce the input gain at its source (camera, mixer or source equipment supplying
the signal).
These LED 1 and 2 states indicate the status of the media slots, S1 and S2:
• LED lit/on: selected media
• LED unlit/off: inactive media, okay to eject or no media inserted
• LED flashing: recording in progress
• On power up, slot S1 is the initial selection.
1/8" (3.5mm) miniature stereo TRS connection for standard stereo headphones.
Connect any SDI-equipped digital camera or A/V source, regardless of brand or format, to
Ki Pro Quad's SDI connectors. The connector side of Ki Pro Quad contains all the
connectors except for power. On the bottom of the unit is a single power connector for
supplying the 12-Volt DC operating voltage (see Installation later in this chapter).
The functions of Ki Pro Quad's inputs and outputs depend on the operational mode. Ki
Pro Quad's active input (the one to be recorded) is selected by front panel or web
browser control. Ki Pro Quad's outputs are active all the time.
