13.1 CAMERA DATA
Some cameras produce SDI ancillary data that users may want to transfer to their Ki Pro
recordings. Examples include start/stop commands, timecode, reel name, clip name
and take. The CONFIG menu parameter 13.1 Camera Data is designed to address this
use of SDI ancillary data. The default for this parameter is "None"; when this is selected,
no camera metadata is passed to any of the Ki Pro parameters even if a camera with SDI
ancillary data is connected to the Ki Pro. If an appropriate camera is present and
sending appropriate SDI ancillary data and that camera manufacturer/model is
selected from the list, then AJA passes as much of the metadata that is available from
the camera (and is viable for AJA to support) into the Ki Pro's timecode value, file name,
and other applicable parameters.

This menu parameter has domain over an array of other Ki Pro parameters; selecting
Camera Data supersedes other parameter selections if valid ancillary data is present
and the camera is selected from the menu parameter.
Example: The RED Epic sends ancillary data from which the reel name, clip name, take
and timecode value are obtained and passed to the Ki Pro recording.
Reel: A230
Clip Name: A230_C001_0714SW
Take: _001
Timecode Value: 20:11:05:12
Within the Ki Pro, the Reel Name that is written to the file is "A230" instead of using the
17.0 Reel Name that is set to "001" within the menu parameter. "
The full file name is "A230_C001_0714SW_001 instead of using the standard clip
naming convention produced by the MEDIA menu parameters 17.0, 17.2, 17.3, 17.4,
and 17.5 which would have produced a file named "SC1ATK1".
The timecode value of 20:11:05:12 is produced instead of using the CONFIG menu
parameters of 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2 which might have produced a timecode value of
01:00:00:00 in the recorded file.
Additionally, if a start/stop flag is present in the ancillary data, then instead of the value
selected in CONFIG menu parameter 8.3 Arm Recording, the starting and stopping is
produced by the start/stop flag of the camera (the Rec Key is always a viable selection
even when the Camera Data parameter is selected).
Camera metadata is not passed to any of the Ki Pro Mini
parameters even if a camera with ancillary data is
connected to the Ki Pro.
Red One 24 Camera metadata available from the camera
is passed into the Ki Pro's timecode value, file name, and
other applicable parameters.
Red One 25 Camera metadata available from the camera
is passed into the Ki Pro's timecode value, file name, and
other applicable parameters.
Red Epic Camera metadata available from the camera is
passed into the Ki Pro's timecode value, file name, and
other applicable parameters.
Canon XF-series with SDI outputs will provide ancillary
data that produces start/stop commands and timecode
values but not clip naming.
These cameras provide ancillary data that produces start/
stop commands and timecode values but not clip naming.
