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.
1.4 IN CONVERT
This parameter defines the type of up, down, cross, or aspect-ratio conversion, if any,
applied to the selected input and stored when recording.
Note: There is one converter available for input—if selected, it will be applied to the
currently selected input. Also, input conversion of 1080psf23.98 sources is not supported.
1.5 OUT CONVERT
This parameter defines the type of up, down, cross, or aspect-ratio conversion, if any,
applied to the output when playing media from storage or while recording.
Note: There is one converter available for output—if selected, it will be applied as
appropriate, based on other settings (1.6, 1.7 and 1.8) possibly affecting multiple outputs.
Output conversion of 1080psf23.98 is only supported for SD (not 720p).
1.6 SDI OUT
This parameter defines whether the SDI output matches the file format or has the 1.5
OUT CONVERT selection applied to it.
Note: The “FILE FRMT” (file format) is from the file on playback and is the result of any input
conversion (or none) applied during capture.
