1.1 RECORD TYPE

This parameter deﬁnes the frame recording method of media stored. RECORD TYPE can

be conﬁgured to record the incoming video signal in a “NORMAL” manner, “PsF” signal

if the incoming source is 1080psf 29.97 (for example), or variable frame rate (VFR).

Note: A 23.98Hz source is automatically treated as PsF, regardless of this setting. For 29.97 Hz or

25 Hz, “NORMAL” means encode as interlaced and “PSF” means encode as progressive. This

only applies to 1080 formats.

VFR (Variable Frame Rate) recording makes use of meta data embedded in the RP188

data stream on the SD-SDI/HD-SDI input, allowing for the frame rate to change actively.

Examples of cameras offering variable frame rate include Panasonic AJ-HDC27 and

several cameras from the Panasonic HPX line.

Note: with version 1.1 ﬁrmware, Ki Pro supports 720p VFR rates of 23.98, 25 and 29.97fps.

Other 720p rates and 1080p VFR support will be added with a future ﬁrmware update.

1.3 1080p PLAYBACK

This parameter deﬁnes the format applied when 1080p media is played bac k off from

storage.

Example 1: In this example the incoming video is 1080i29.97. However, we

want our Ki Pro recording to match the rest of the footage we have

acquired at 720p59.94. Therefore, we select IN CONVERT>HD 720 to get the

desired result. Here are the parameter settings:

1. Set 1.1 RECORD TYPE>NORMAL

2. Set 1.4 IN CONVERT>HD 720

3. Set 1.5 OUT CONVERT>NONE

Example 2: In this example the incoming video is 1080PsF 29.97, so we

need to conﬁgure Ki Pro for PsF recordings (which would otherwise be

understood as interlace). To do this, we’ll set the RECORD TYPE to PsF. Here

are the parameter settings:

1. Set 1.1 RECORD TYPE>PsF

2. Set 1.4 IN CONVERT>NONE

3. Set 1.5 OUT CONVERT>NONE
