Ki Pro Ultra 12G File Based Recorder/Player v1.0 11 www.aja.com
In normal operation to turn power on, press the button once. It isn’t necessary
to press hard—it’s a “soft” button sensed by the processor inside. Pressing the
button will begin power-up and display start-up progress on the alphanumeric
display.
To power down, press and hold the power button down for 3 seconds while the
display counts down. This process prevents accidental power-off during normal
operation. You can abort the power-down process by simply removing your
finger from the power button before the 3 seconds have elapsed.
SLOT Button
The SLOT button serves two purposes. It selects which media slot is accessed
by the system (either Slot 1 or 2) and is used to unmount the currently selected
media. When the Pak card LED is extinguished, it is unmounted and can be
removed.
Caution! Always use the SLOT button to unmount media or it may be damaged
when removed.
Caution! Pushing the slot button cycles between unmounting media and selecting
media. This function is only active when in transport STOP mode. If it is not
highlighted, press the stop button. 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 highlighted, or while flashing, can
result in corrupted media or potential damage to the media.
Transport Control Buttons
The transport buttons are always active.
STOP -
The square symbol STOP button has a dual function. When playing back
a clip (PLAY, FFWD, or REV) the first push of STOP acts as a “pause” mode: the
playback is paused, the current point of the clip is displayed, and the STOP
button flashes. A second push of STOP completely stops the playback and
directs Ki Pro Ultra 12G outputs into an “idle” mode (the currently selected
inputs are passed to the outputs). To determine at a glance if the STOP button
is in a “pause” mode, note that the stop button will flash if media playback is
paused. The STOP button is fully illuminated in “stop” mode.
PLAY > -
Press PLAY to begin forward playback of the current clip at normal
speed.
RECORD-
Press the round red RECORD button to begin recording. Once in
RECORD mode, all other transport buttons are locked-out except the STOP
button.
FFWD >> -
Press FFWD to begin fast playback of the current clip at 2x speed.
Successive pushes increase the speed to 4x, 8x, and 16x. (Pushing the button
after 16x speed is reached has no further effect.) When fast-forwarding, audio
is muted.
REV << -
Press REV when not highlighted to begin playback of the current clip in
reverse at 1x speed. Successive pushes increase the speed to 2x, 4x, 8x, and
16x. (Pushing the button after 16x speed is reached has no further effect.)
When playing in reverse, audio is muted for all speeds.
