In both examples that follow, “TK” is a default append to the naming convention just
prior to the auto-incrementing TK value (which can be manually overridden via
parameter 17.8 Take).

Ki Pro Rack offers these parameter choices for easy identification of the QuickTime files,
so that the names can logically match the shooting script, and are acceptable when
imported into the Final Cut Pro 7 Browser window, Final Cut Pro X's Events or Avid Media
Composer Bins. The Final Cut Pro 7 Browser window provides columns of data used to
describe the media. In the most minimal form, "Name", "Media Start", "Media End" and
"Reel" are the required pieces of information for a Final Cut Pro clip to be properly
perceived as "valid" media. Additional information or "QuickTime metadata" is useful and
can be mapped into the myriad choices provided in the Final Cut Pro Browser column
headings. Final Cut Pro X also uses such information and can provide even more support
for QuickTime file metadata. Avid Media Composer Bins provide "Name", "Creation Date",
"Duration", "Tracks", "Start", "Video", "Audio SR" and "Field Ordering" information when
working with DNxHD Ki Pro Mini created media and Avid's AMA.

Example 1

Using the factory default AJA parameter settings:

The resulting clip would be named and displayed as: “SC1ATK1”. The media would be
named “001” if mounted on the OS X desktop as a volume.

Example 2

Using customized settings:

The resulting clip would have the following naming convention: “CLIP12TK1”. The media
would be named “002” if mounted on a desktop as a volume.
