Data-LAN and Data-FW
Considerations

14.1 ENCODE TYPE

15.1 PLAY MEDIA

15.2 LOOP PLAY

15.3 PLAYLIST

Ki Pro v3.2
Files must be Ki Pro supported frame rates and must use 24-bit 48kHz audio (2 or 8
channel), if audio is included. Files copied to Ki Pro that do not meet these criteria may
not appear in the web UI or front panel UI when you review clips.
The DATA MEDIA STATE does not survive reboots or power cycles of the device. After such
an event, this parameter returns to the default Record-Play mode.
When the Ki Pro Media State, Data-LAN is used, only the web UI for control and
configuration of the Ki Pro may be used for data transfer. The web UI will present
"Upload+" and "Download+" buttons in the All Clips portion of the UI. If the Data -LAN
state is not active, these buttons do not appear in the web UI.
When the Ki Pro Media State, Data-FW is used, the Mac OS will mount the volume as a
disk. Because the Mac OS mounts the disk, the Mac OS should also be used to unmount
the disk from the operating system prior to switching the Media State back to Record-
Play. To unmount a volume in Mac OS, either drag the volume to the Trash or use the
eject icon in the Finder next to the volume. If this step is not followed, the Mac OS may
report that a disk has been improperly removed. If this happens, AJA recommends
mounting the disk to a Mac OS system in order to correct any directory error that may
have occurred due to the improper disk removal.

Plays one clip and then stops playback
All/Playlist—Plays the current clip and then continues playing
the next clip on the Ki Pro media or the playlist. Note that
with this setting, Ki Pro will play 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.
Play clip(s) and then stop playback when complete
Play clip(s) and then loop back and repeat playback
The name of the selected playlist appears. If no playlist is
selected via the web UI controls, then no name appears. The
user cannot select or create playlists from the front panel UI;
these tasks are handled using the web UI.
