Ki Pro Installation and Operation Manual — CONFIG menus
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:
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:
1.1 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.
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.
Note: with version 1.1 firmware, Ki Pro supports 720p VFR rates of 23.98, 25 and 29.97fps.
Other 720p rates and 1080p VFR support will be added with a future firmware update.

1.3 1080p PLAYBACK

This parameter defines the format applied when 1080p media is played bac k off from
storage.
