Chapter 4: Front Panel Operation

Overview

Ki Pro v3.2
There are three ways to control Ki Pro: the front panel, remotely from a web browser
connected via ethernet, or a wireless browser (iPhone etc.) via 802.11. This chapter
discusses controlling and using Ki Pro from its front panel. (Remote control via browser is
discussed later in Chapter 4.)
In Chapter 2 we discussed the panel controls overall, so ensure you read and understand
that material first. Here in this chapter we introduce each of the front panel's modes and
menus—plus talk about Clips and Reels, with procedures for basic use.
First we introduce the two basic front panel modes, TRANSPORT and MENU, followed by
how the SELECT and ADJUST buttons operate in each of these two panel modes.
Select Adjust
The TRANSPORT mode is the default mode—it controls basic PLAY, STOP, FF, REV, etc.
functions. In the TRANSPORT mode, the Select buttons (up or down) cycle through the
clips in the currently selected storage slot (like previous/next), and the Adjust buttons
allow single-stepping, frame forward or backward. The following shows the display for
the TRANSPORT mode:
Clip SC12BTK1
Reel 212
TRANSPORT Mode
For the MENU mode, depressing one of the 3 MENU buttons (STATUS, CONFIG, or MEDIA)
will enter the corresponding menu.
In the STATUS menu, the Select buttons will cycle through the various STATUS screens.
The Adjust buttons have no effect on the STATUS menu. The following shows the display
for the STATUS menu:
