Formatting Media

Installation

To select which storage device is used for media recording and playback, press the
SLOT button on the bottom right side of Ki Pro (operator side). The currently selected
storage device will have a lit green LED. Pressing the SLOT button switches to the next
available device from the possible three (storage module, ExpressCard 1 and
ExpressCard 2).
This function is only active when in "STOP" mode and requires a "PRESS STOP TO
CONFIRM" if not stopped. After you select a slot, the system returns to the last selected
clip and timecode for that slot. If the media has been changed since the slot was last
selected (physically removed/media replaced), then the "first" clip will be "cued" to its
start point. If no media is present in the selected slot, the system will display "WARNING
NO MEDIA." To clear the warning, either select another slot by pressing the SLOT button
again or insert media into the selected slot. If inserted media has any issues, additional
prompts may be displayed as appropriate such as: "WARNING FRMT MEDIA" or
"WARNING MEDIA LOW."
Note: On power up, the storage module is the initial storage system selected and accessed by
Ki Pro.
To reformat storage media, it must first be selected using the SLOT button (see
previous topic). Once selected, follow these steps:
1. Press the STOP button
2. Press the MEDIA button
3. Press SELECT (up or down) repeatedly until you see the menu 16.1 Format Media.
4. Press ADJUST up arrow. Ki Pro will display "ERASE MEDIA nn? (where "nn" is the
storage device D1 for storage module or S1 for the top ExpressCard, or S2 for the
bottom ExpressCard). Press the ADJUST up arrow button. Ki Pro will display
"CONFIRM ERASE"—press and hold the ADJUST up arrow button for 2 seconds or
longer and then formatting will begin. Ki Pro will display progress and when
done, you'll see the 16.1 Format Media menu once again.
The following topic details set up and installation of Ki Pro. Their are two different ways
to set up and use the Ki Pro portable recorder:
• Stand-alone use
• Camera and mounting with optional Exoskeleton (with or without a tripod)
Software setup is the same for both uses. Choices you will make include how Ki Pro will
be controlled (front panel, 802.11 wireless, or Ethernet & web-browser) and the
physical system requirements for your application (camera mount or not, video and
audio monitoring choices, and media workflows). First we'll discuss mounting methods
and then follow up with software configuration and setup.
