Chapter 3: Installation

Overview

Ki Pro Rack v4.2
The installation and set up of a Ki Pro Rack is straight-forward. If you'll be controlling the
unit from the front panel buttons and display, it's ready right out of the box. Just cable
the system's audio and video sources, VTR(s), monitors, and audio equipment, mount the
Ki Pro Rack unit as desired, and begin recording. However, if you wish to control Ki Pro
Rack from a web browser, there are additional configuration steps.
The following topic details set up and installation of Ki Pro Rack. Choices you will make
include how Ki Pro Rack will be controlled (front panel 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.
