2.3 AUDIO CHANNELS

2.1 VIDEO INPUT
This parameter selects a video input source from the video input connections
available. This is the video that will be recorded and/or passed through.
Note: The message, "WARNING A/V Mismatch" may appear if SDI video is selected and HDMI
audio is selected or vice versa. Embedded audio, via SDI or HDMI, must be matched to the
video source. Analog audio can be used with any video input.
SDI (default)
HDMI
COMPONENT
2.2 AUDIO INPUT
This parameter selects an audio input source from the audio input connections
available, including embedded SDI audio which requires an SDI video source and
HDMI audio, which requires an HDMI video source.
Note: The message, "WARNING A/V Mismatch" may appear if SDI video is selected and HDMI
audio is selected or vice versa. Embedded audio, via SDI or HDMI, must be matched to the
video source. Analog audio can be used with any video input.
SDI (default)
RCA
XLR
HDMI
Note: XLR input could be microphone level or line level, depending on the connector panel
switch setting.
2.3 AUDIO CHANNELS
This parameter selects the use of either two or eight audio channels via SDI
embedded audio. Generally, when working with camera sources, there are only one
or two audio tracks being produced, and therefore 2 channel would be the
appropriate selection. In post production use, there are often more channels of
audio required, so 8 channel audio may be the appropriate choice in such situations.
Ki Pro only allows for the selection of either 2 channels or 8 channels of audio to be
written to the QuickTime file that is recorded. Therefore, if the source has more than
2 channels of audio, but less than 8 channels of audio that need to be preserved, the
CONFIG Menu parameter 2.3 Audio Channels would need to be set to "8 Channels."
Note: Not all devices support 8 channel audio. Ki Pro does not provide a "mixdown" option
for 8 channel recordings on output, so be sure to use devices that support 8 channel
audio via SDI if the 8 channels recorded are desired.
2 Channels (default)
8 Channels
Note: if any selection other than SDI is made (RCA, XLR or HDMI) when 8 channels is selected,
the Ki Pro will provide a warning prompt, "WARNING 2 Channel Format".
