1.1 RECORD TYPE
This parameter defines the frame recording method of media stored. RECORD TYPE can
be configured to record the incoming video signal in a "NORMAL" manner, "PsF" signal
if the incoming source is 1080psf 29.97 (for example), or variable frame rate (VFR).
NORMAL (default)
PsF
VFR
Note: A 23.98Hz source is automatically treated as PsF, regardless of this setting. For 29.97 Hz or
25 Hz, "NORMAL" means encode as interlaced and "PSF" means encode as progressive. This
only applies to 1080 formats. The following details clarify each case:
•
1080PsF 23.98 incoming video > Normal selected > 1080p 23.98 recorded to disk.
•
1080i 25 incoming video > PsF selected > 1080p 25 recorded to disk.
•
1080i 29.97 incoming video > PsF selected > 1080p 29.97 recorded to disk.
•
1080PsF signal is recorded to disk as progressive; progressive material on disk may be
played back as PsF or progressive on the video outputs; this selection can be made in
parameter 1.3 1080p Playback.
VFR (Variable Frame Rate) recording makes use of meta data embedded in the RP188
data stream on the SD-SDI/HD-SDI input, allowing for the frame rate to change actively.
Examples of cameras offering variable frame rate include Panasonic AJ-HDC27 and
several cameras from the Panasonic HPX line.
Beginning with Ki Pro version 3.0 firmware, select cameras that output 1080p within a
1080i signal are also supported by the VFR selection. For the Canon XH-G1s, 1080p
23.98 may be extracted from the 1080i 29.97 signal when VFR is selected. For the
Canon EOS C300, 1080p 23.98 may be extracted from the 1080i 29.97 signal and 1080p
24 may be extracted from the 1080i 30 signal. For the Canon EOS C300 formats of
1080p 25 and 1080p 29.97, set the Record Type to PsF to produce progressive frame
recordings.
Note: 720p VFR rates of 23.98, 25 and 29.97fps and 1080p VFR support are not provided when
using the DNxHD encoding mode. VFR support for DNxHD will be added with a future
firmware update.
1.3 1080p PLAYBACK
This parameter defines the format applied when 1080p media is played back from
storage.
PsF (default)
Progressive
Note: HDMI output of progressive material requires the use of 1080p Playback set to
Progressive; HDMI only tends to support true progressive or interlace video, not PsF.
Record standard format as input
Record progressive segmented frame
Record variable frame rate
Playback as 1080 progessive segmented frame
(regardless of what was recorded when input)
Playback as standard 1080p progressive frame
