NOTE: If Menu 2.1, “Video Input” is one of the formats below, input is automatically selected and the
“Image Division Input” parameter setting has no effect.
• SDI 1 YCbCr
• SDI 1 RGB
• Fiber 1 YCbCr
• Fiber 1 RGB
• HDMI
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) or analog audio (via
the DB-25 connections).
2.3 AUDIO CHANNELS
This parameter selects the use of either two, eight, or 16 audio channels. 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- or 16-channel audio may be the
appropriate choice in such situations. Ki Pro Ultra 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 Ultra 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.
