Chapter 4 – Front Panel Operation
Overview
There are two ways to control Ki Pro Ultra Plus—from the front panel or remotely
from a web browser connected via the Ethernet RJ-45 connector. This chapter
discusses controlling Ki Pro Ultra Plus from its front panel. See
"Chapter 5 Browser
Remote Control" on page 61
for information about web browser operation.
Control Panel Operation
There are two basic front panel modes:
• Transport (default mode) - PLAY, STOP, FFWD, REV, REC. These functions are
active at all times. By default the unit starts in a “record standby” or “transport
idle” state.
• Display - when you press the display button, an overlay is placed on the LCD
screen. When you push one of the remaining menu buttons (Status, Config, or
Media) Ki Pro Ultra Plus will display:
• Status/Alarm reports
• Configuration menus
• Media formatting operations
Display Button Sequence
Press the Display button twice to bring up audio VU meters. Pressing a third time
brings up the last menu selected. Press again to turn the overlay off.
User Control Knob Functions
Transport Mode Operations
Transport mode is the default mode—it controls basic functions of PLAY, STOP,
FFWD, REV, etc. In the Transport mode, you can turn the User Control Knob to
cycle through the clips in the currently selected storage slot and push the knob in
once to enter JOG mode which allows single-stepping through frames of the clip
forward or backward.
