Ki Pro Quick Start Guide— A quick synopsis of the parameters in the CONFIG menu
This parameter selects an audio input source from the audio input connections available,
including embedded SDI audio which requires an SDI video source and HDMI audio, which
requires and HDMI video source. Analog audio can be used with any video source.
This parameter selects the input level for signals applied at the component video input
connectors. For HD sources, the selection will be SMPTE/N10, but if you are getting signal from
something like a BetacamSP VTR, then you would select "Betacam".
This parameter selects the output level for signals applied at the component video output
connectors. If you are monitoring in HD, you will want to leave the setting at SMPTE/N10, but if
you are monitoring in SD, you will likely want to set this to "Betacam". In rare cases, you may be
connecting the Ki Pro output to a RGB only device (like a projector) and therefore may want to
set this to "RGB".
This parameter configures the analog audio signal levels for input and output. Professional
audio equipment has much higher levels than consumer equipment: a 0 VU reading
corresponds to +4 dBu. Connecting a professional +4 dBu device to a consumer audio input -
10dBV (-7.8 dBu) may cause overloading, whereas the output of a consumer device probably
does not have sufficient power to drive a professional audio input. Select the audio setting that
is appropriate for the type of equipment you are connecting to Ki Pro.
This parameter selects the type of upconversion from SD performed, if set up to do so with
parameters 1.6 through 1.8.
ZOOM WIDE (default) Using a combination of zoom and stretch, the image is sized to fit a
16x9 screen
ANAMORPHIC Anamorphic full screen display
ZOOM 14X9 Image is zoomed slightly to fill a 14x9 image with black sidebars
ZOOM LTTRBOX Image is zoomed to fit the full screen (this can introduce a small aspect
ratio change)
PILLARBOX Image is not changed; black sidebars surround image
This parameter selects the type of downconversion from HD performed, if set up to do so with
parameters 1.6 through 1.8.
LETTERBOX (default) Image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area,
with the aspect ratio preserved
CROP Image is cropped to fit new screen size
ANAMORPHIC HD image is converted to full-screen SD with a 16x9 aspect ratio
(anamorphic)
This parameter selects the source of reference video used to genlock to, either automatically or
explicitly. Keep in mind that during recordings, Ki Pro always locks to the selected Video Input
and that the genlock setting is with regards to playback.
INPUT (default) Use the currently selected input as the Genlock source
CMP Y Use component Y as the Genlock source
