Config Menu Parameters - AJA Ki Pro Ultra Installation And Operation Manual

The Config menu is for system set-up and configuration. Each parameter is
numbered, in the same manner as the Media menus.

Config Menu Parameters

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.
1. 1 Record Type
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
• 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.
1.3 Progressive Playback
This parameter defines the format applied when progressive media is played
from storage.
Progressive (default)
PsF
NOTE: HDMI output of progressive material requires the use of 1080p Playback set to
1.4 In Convert
This parameter sets input conversion to one of the available selections..
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.
