Ki Pro Quad v5.2r3
SELECT (up/down)::
The SELECT up/down buttons operate differently depending on whether
Ki Pro Quad is in the TRANSPORT mode or the MENU mode. In the
TRANSPORT mode, the SELECT buttons select clips and operate like
“previous” and “next” keys. When a clip is selected, Ki Pro Quad “cues” it to
the beginning. Note that ordering and playback of clips is based on
timestamp order (creation date), not clip name. However, in a playlist, ordering and
playback is determined by playlist order. In the MENU mode, the SELECT buttons select
parameters for adjustment. Holding down either of the SELECT buttons causes them to
repeat.
ADJUST (up/down):
The ADJUST up/down buttons operate differently depending on whether Ki Pro Quad is
in TRANSPORT mode or MENU mode. In TRANSPORT mode, and in the “Pause” mode
(single push of STOP from PLAY mode), the ADJUST buttons “single step” the current clip
at a rate of one frame per button push (up=forward, down=reverse). In the MENU mode,
the ADJUST buttons adjust the selected parameter. Holding down either of the ADJUST
buttons causes them to repeat
DELETE CLIP Button:
This is a dedicated button that when pressed, deletes the currently selected clip. When
pressed, the system displays a precautionary “ARE YOU SURE?” prompt. Press the up-
arrow ADJUST button to say “Yes” and delete the clip, or the down-arrow ADJUST button
to abort the deletion. When a clip is deleted, the next clip is then cued for deletion.
Pressing DELETE CLIP, STOP or any other button—while the “ARE YOU SURE” prompt is
displayed—cancels the delete operation. Pressing any button other than up-arrow
ADJUST always aborts deletion.
DELETE CLIP can be used in either the TRANSPORT menu or the MEDIA menu. When
pressed in the TRANSPORT menu with a current clip active (PLAY, REV, FF, RECORD), the
active mode will continue until the DELETE CLIP is confirmed.
SLOT Button:
The SLOT button serves two purposes. First, it selects which media slot is accessed by the
system—either Slot 1 or 2. Second, the SLOT button is used to unmount the currently
selected media.
NOTE:
On power up, Slot 1 is the initial storage system accessed by Ki Pro Quad.
Analog Audio Input Level
Adjust Knobs:
These knobs underneath the VU meters allow you to adjust the analog input levels for
each of the two audio channels.
NOTE:
Digital audio via embedded SDI is not affected by the adjustment knobs.
Caution!
Not using the SLOT button to unmount media can damage the media.
Pushing the slot button cycles between unmounting media and selecting media.
This function is only active when in the “STOP” mode and requires a “PRESS STOP” if
not stopped. After you select a slot, the system returns to the last selected clip and
timecode for that slot. If the media has been changed since the slot was last selected
(media physically removed or replaced), the “first” clip on the media will be “cued” to
its start point. If inserted media has any issues, additional prompts may be displayed
as appropriate such as: “WARNING Backup and Reformat” or “WARNING Media
Unformatted.”
Caution!
Removing media with the Slot LED lit, or while flashing, can result in corrupted media
or potential damage to the media.
