Ki Pro Rack v4.2
This parameter determines the clip number, from 1 to 999, that follows the CLIP NAME,
and is associated with all clips generated while using this setting. These are the available
options:
1 to 999
(default = 1)
This parameter is used with parameter 17.5 ALPHA APPEND to append a text value after
the CLIP NUMBER or have no text appended. These are the available options:
ALPHA (default)
NONE
This parameter is used with parameter 17.4 CLIP APPEND to append a text value after the
CLIP NUMBER. These are the available options:
A to Z
(default = A)
This parameter determines the TAKE number, from 1 to 999, that follows the CLIP NAME
and CLIP NUMBER, followed by any ALPHA APPEND (if selected), generated for all clips
while using this setting. These are the available options:
1 to 999
(default = 1)
There are rules that Ki Pro Rack observes in relation to Clips and Takes:
1. Ki Pro Rack will not overwrite an existing clip when using standard clip naming.
2. The Take number will auto-increment past existing numbers for the "prefix" as
defined by the Reel Name, Clip Name, Clip Number, Clip Append, Alpha Append, and
Take settings.
3. If the number is at "999", Ki Pro Rack will not auto-increment; instead it will register a
"Name In Use" alarm. This prompts you to select a new Clip Name, Clip Number, Clip
Append, Alpha Append, and/or Take settings so that a new unique "prefix" is created.
This action ensures files are unique and understandable, and that clips are never
overwritten.
Beginning with Ki Pro 2.0 firmware, users can elect to give their clips names other than
the standard criteria provided by AJA. Custom clip names can be created via the front
panel UI menu parameters (19.1, 19.2, and 19.4) through the use of the select and adjust
up/down arrows. Users may find that the more efficient method to perform custom clip
naming is via the web UI entry fields.
NOTE: When entering characters for a custom clip name, you must scroll through all characters
using the Adjust buttons until you reach the end of the name space before the name is
accepted.
Press ADJUST button up or down to change the CLIP NUMBER
value from 1 to 999.
The text value entered in ALPHA APPEND is appended to the
CLIP NAME and CLIP NUMBER.
No text is appended to the CLIP NAME and CLIP NUMBER.
Press ADJUST button up or down to change the ALPHA
APPEND value from A to Z. Alphabetic values increment with
A and Z wrapping around.
Ki Pro automatically generates a TAKE number. Press ADJUST
button up or down to change the
TAKE value from 1 to 999, if a value other than the
automatically generated value is desired.
