Ki Pro Installation and Operation Manual — MEDIA menus
"WARNING Backup and Reformat" may appear if media has issues being
mounted by the Ki Pro. As the prompt indicates, it is best to back up the media
by copying it to another drive or disk array and then reformat the media. Some
signs that the media is in a read-only state: even though clips have been
recorded to the media, "N/A" appears in the clip area of the UI, "Loading"
appears in the clip area of the UI but does not eventually load a clip, or hitting
the record button with all settings correctly configured for the Ki Pro does not
result in a recording.
As the name implies, these menus display choices are all related to media storage, the
type of encoding, and how Ki Pro behaves when recording and playing back. There are
also menus for naming reels, clips and takes.

Plays one clip and then stops playback
Plays the current clip and then continues playing the next
clip on the Ki Pro media. Note that with this setting, Ki
Pro will play all clips back regardless of format or
framerate—but you may notice the video monitor reset for
format/framerate changes. If all clips are the same
format and framerate or conversion is applied to the
output for clips with the same Hz, then clips play out
smoothly one after another.
