Example 3 Single Link Recording (Single Channel Mode only)

The source device is outputting single link 3G SDI that is 4:2:2 1080p 59.94. A 1x

3G SDI connection is made between the source and the Ki Pro Ultra 12G. The user

wants to encode the incoming material as Apple ProRes 422.

No In Convert has been selected so the signal that is recorded on the

Ki Pro Ultra 12G media is the same as what is output by the camera. An Out

Convert selection has also not been made because the parameter does not allow

conversion if the incoming video signal is 1080; if a conversion were selected,

the output signal would not be affected. The SDI output is set to SDI 1 YCbCr.

The only valid output selections would be SDI 1 YCbCr operating at 3G or SDI 1-2

YCbCr operating at dual link 1.485Gbps. The Media Menu is used to select the

type of encoding to be used for the recording.

Example 4 (Multi Channel Mode only)

Three different source devices are outputting single link 3G SDI that is 4:2:2

1080p 59.94. The first two sources are connected to the Ki Pro Ultra 12G SDI input

connectors 1 and 2 respectively. The third source is sending two identical signals

that are connected to SDI input connectors 3 and 4. All three sources must be the

same format and frame rate. The user wants to encode the incoming material as

Apple ProRes 422 HQ onto Ki Pro Ultra 12G channels 1, 2, and 3, and also encode

an Apple ProRes Proxy copy of the third device's signal onto channel 4.
