Ki Pro Installation and Operation Manual — STATUS menus
CONFIG and MEDIA menus, once entered after an alarm notification, will cause the
alarm display to go away. Pushing any button always returns Ki Pro to its pre-alarm
state—however, if the alarm condition still exists after this initial button push (i.e., the
reason for the alarm), the alarm notification will reappear on the display. Note: the
STATUS button will blink if there is an active alarm condition.
Examples of ALARM displays are shown following this page. WARNING appears on the
first line and the prompted action item on the second line.
Ki Pro features a variety of alarms to help you diagnose the condition of the unit. Here
is a list of warning messages and their meanings:
"WARNING Input Format Changed" prompt appears if a recording is started and
the signal is lost or changed. If this occurs, Ki Pro stops the recording in progress
unless the Loss of Video CONFIG parameter is set to continue recording.
"WARNING Record Format" may appear if there is no video input to Ki Pro. No
recording will be performed in this state.
"WARNING A/V Mismatch" may appear if SDI video is selected and HDMI audio is
selected or vice versa. Embedded audio, via SDI or HDMI, must be matched to
the video source. Analog audio can be used with any video input.
"WARNING Dropped Frames" may appear if media is underperforming and
cannot keep up with the data rate required to make a recording or perform a
playback. If you see this prompt during recording, you might consider backing
up your current recordings and formatting the media. For playback, you might
simply re-attempt playback.
"WARNING SDI VFR Mismatch" will appear if you have set the video input to
something other than SDI when parameter 1.1 is set to “VFR”—as only the SDI
input provides the appropriate data for VFR support.
"WARNING Media Low" will appear when the media only has 15% of capacity
remaining. Media must be switched out when it reaches 10% of capacity. With
10% of media remaining, the "WARNING Media Full" prompt will appear.
"WARNING Media in Use" may appear if you try to remove the media by pushing
the SLOT button while an operation is still taking place. Wait for the operation to
finish and then try again.
"WARNING Media Not Present" may appear if media has been physically
removed and the user pushes the slot button.
"WARNING Media Invalid" may appear if the media could not be formatted or
contained errors the Ki Pro was not able to correct. To resolve this issue, mount
the drive on an Apple computer under Mac OSX, copy the clips from the media,
then re-insert the media into Ki Pro. If it does not read properly, you will need to
format the media.
