CONFIG Menu
Parameters
When we talk about menus, we discuss the Parameter Number and Name on the top
line of the display and the Parameter Setting(s) possible as shown on the bottom line
of the display; remember, the current setting is what is shown.
As in the MEDIA menus already presented, pressing one of the parameter Adjust
buttons changes the current CONFIG parameter's value to a new one from the Ki Pro's
list of choices—repeating the list if you continue to press Adjust—or adjusting a
numerical value up or down.
The exact choices displayed varies depending on the parameter. Most adjustment
choices made with the Adjust buttons take effect immediately and are subsequently
stored into the Ki Pro's non-volatile memory if they remain unchanged for 3 seconds.
If a Select or Adjust button is held down continuously, the changes begin to happen
automatically - with acceleration if applicable.
Holding down both the Adjust (up) and Adjust (down) buttons—at the same time —
sets that parameter back to its factory default value.
The CONFIG menus are for system set-up and configuration. Each parameter is
numbered, just like the MEDIA menus.
Note: The composite output on the unit follows the component output; this means that the
composite output only works if either the source format or the convert format is SD.
Many of the CONFIG menu parameters are used together to configure the type of Ki
Pro recording and associated conversion formats used on the input or output for a
particular workflow.
Before we begin listing all of the individual CONFIG menu parameters, it's useful to
see how they can be used for an example application. Here are two examples of
making CONFIG menu selections for specific real world workflows.
Example 1: In this example the incoming video is 1080i29.97. However, we
want our Ki Pro recording to match the rest of the footage we have acquired at
720p59.94. Therefore, we select IN CONVERT>HD 720 to get the desired
result. Here are the parameter settings:
1. Set 1.1 RECORD TYPE>NORMAL
2. Set 1.4 IN CONVERT>HD 720
3. Set 1.5 OUT CONVERT>NONE
Example 2: In this example the incoming video is 1080PsF 29.97, so we
need to configure Ki Pro for PsF recordings (which would otherwise be
understood as interlace). To do this, we'll set the RECORD TYPE to PsF.
Here are the parameter settings:
1. Set 1.1 RECORD TYPE>PsF
2. Set 1.4 IN CONVERT>NONE
3. Set 1.5 OUT CONVERT>NONE
