Recording A Clip - AJA Ki Pro Ultra Installation And Operation Manual

Note that you must be in STOP, not PAUSE (Stop button flashing) to access these
menus—if you try to access these menus without first having stopped playback, a
"PRESS STOP" prompt will appear on the LCD display.
There are certain times when transport controls are locked out. For example,
when ejecting media, or entering an IP address, the transport controls are locked
out until the operation is completed. Most other menu functions do not lock out
the transport controls.
At any time you only need to hit any transport button to exit (or "exit" a Status,
Config, or Media menu by pushing its button). Pressing a transport button sends
the display into the Transport default menu.
To protect from inadvertent actions, several operations (for example, Format
Media) may result in a "CONFIRM ACTION" display. This ensures that accidental
button presses don't cause problems. When you answer OK to a prompt, the
display then changes to an "in progress display", and automatically returns to the
menu when the operation is complete.

When recording, Ki Pro Ultra is in an E-to-E state.
Certain parameters are stored in non-volatile memory so that the parameter is
remembered between power cycles, for example: system name and date/time.

Recording a Clip

There is more than one way to record a clip since you can control Ki Pro Ultra in
various ways. Here is an example of just how simple a recording can be:
1. Press the STATUS button (see
selected input and input format and the chosen recording format and audio
input.
2. If these settings are acceptable, then push the red RECORD button below
the display.
3. The green LED slot indicator (and the green LED on the Pak Media) will
begin blinking indicating a recording is in progress. You will also see the
timecode changing on the UI display.
4. When you've finished recording, press the STOP button.
You can, of course, customize your configuration via the Config and Media menu
parameters.
To change the Encoder Type (Apple ProRes, DNxHD) prior to recording, Press
MEDIA, and then using the Control Knob, scroll until you see 14.1 Encode Type.
Then press the knob to enter the menu. Scroll to the desired setting and press the
knob again to select it, and press MEDIA or STOP to exit the menu.
IMPORTANT: To insure successful recording with the Ki Pro Ultra it is good practice to
Ki Pro Ultra File Based Recorder/Player v3.3r1
use new, high-quality media that has been freshly formatted in the device. For
best results, use qualified, AJA Pak Media only. When recording ProRes HQ 4K or
UltraHD at high frame rates (59.94 – 60 fps), Pak 256 (R1), Pak 512 (R1), Pak 1000 or
Pak 2000 media is required.
