Stand-alone Usage

The following topic details set up and installation of Ki Pro. There are two different
ways to set up and use the Ki Pro portable recorder:
• Stand-alone use
• Camera and mounting with optional Exo-skeleton (with or without a tripod)
Software setup is the same for both uses. Choices you will make include how Ki Pro
will be controlled (front panel, 802.11 wireless, or Ethernet & web-browser) and the
physical system requirements for your application (camera mount or not, video and
audio monitoring choices, and media workflows). First we'll discuss mounting
methods and then follow up with software configuration and setup.
Warning!
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Warning!
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Warning!
Unplug this device during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
Warning!
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
device has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the device
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
In stand-alone use, Ki Pro is simply a
box that connects to the video and
audio output connector(s) from a
camera, camcorder, or other
professional source, recording media
that is output. Here are some typical
workflows and applications:
• Recording a live video feed from
a camera; Ki Pro is rackmounted,
receiving component video
input.
• Recording a corporate video live
from a camera; Ki Pro sits on a
computer work desk receiving HDMI audio and video input.
• Recording on location, Ki Pro is truck-mounted, receiving an HD-SDI feed.
