Video Sg Frmt - AJA Ki PRO rack Operation Manual

41.1 VIDEO SG FRMT

Ki Pro Rack v4.2
Since Ki Pro Rack has a default state of E-to-E when stopped, if both the input and output
of a non-linear editor are simultaneously connected to Ki Pro Rack, you may then need to
begin playback on Ki Pro Rack to produce a clean picture. After this initial playback
happens under remote control, subsequent playback and stop/pause will appear as
expected as Ki Pro Rack will not re-enter the E-to-E state.
Due to the fact that Ki Pro Rack is file based, when shuttling across clips at high speed, a
"hop" may be visually perceptible as files close and open; this does not compromise the
operation of Ki Pro Rack under RS422, but may seem different from how a tape-based
VTR would respond under similar conditions.
NOTE: AJA recommends the following for use with Apple's Final Cut Pro 7>Edit to Tape and Avid's
Media Composer>Digital Cut:
Only connect the output signal of the NLE to the Ki Pro Rack to avoid the possibility of an EE
feedback loop; if the input and output of both the NLE and the Ki Pro Rack are connected and
EE is entered, a feedback loop may occur.
To avoid potential cueing errors during pre-roll for an edit, it is recommended that prior to
attempting the layback, the Edit to Tape or Digital Cut windows show "00:00:00:00" for the
timecode value; this means that the Ki Pro Rack is in a "full stop" which is indicated by a solidly
backlit STOP button on the front of the unit as opposed to "pause" indicated by a flashing
backlit STOP button.
This parameter determines the video format output from Ki Pro Rack's internal test signal
generator. This parameter is used with parameter 41.2 to determine the type of video
test signal output by Ki Pro Rack. These are the available parameters:
525i 29.97 (default)
625i 25
720p 50
720p 59.94
1080p 23.98

1080i 29.97
720p 60
1080PsF 23.98
1080PsF 24
1080i 30
