AJA Ki Pro Rack - Manual (Page 47)

Ki Pro Rack v4.2 www.aja.com 47
NOTE: Not all devices support 8 channel audio. Ki Pro Rack does not provide a "mixdown" option for
8-channel recordings on output, so be sure to use devices that support 8-channel audio via
SDI or AES if the 8 channels recorded are desired.
NOTE: If any selection other than SDI or AES is made (XLR or HDMI) when 8 channels is selected, the
Ki Pro Rack will provide a warning prompt, “WARNING 2 Channel Format”.
3.1 COMPONENT IN LVL This parameter selects the input level for signals applied at the component video input
connectors. These are the available options:
NOTE: Setting the Ki Pro Rack component input and/or output to "Beta" for HD material will result in
an "Invalid Selection" alarm that will need correction before recordings or other operations
may take place.
3.2 COMPONENT OUT
LVL
This parameter selects the output level for signals applied at the component video
output connectors. These are the available options:
NOTE: Setting the Ki Pro Rack component input and/or output to "Beta" for HD material will result in
an "Invalid Selection" alarm that will need correction before recordings or other operations
may take place.
3.4 NTSC CONFIG This parameter selects the output level for the composite video output connector. These
are the available options:
4.1 ANALOG AUDIO This parameter configures the analog audio signal levels for input and output. These are
the available options:
Professional audio equipment has much higher levels than consumer equipment: a 0 VU
reading corresponds to +4 dBu. Connecting a professional +4 dBu device to a consumer
audio input -10dBV (-7.8 dBu) may cause overloading, whereas the output of a consumer
device probably does not have sufficient power to drive a professional audio input. With
consumer and semi-professional audio equipment, a VU reading of 0 dB is typically
referenced to -10 dBV and 0 dBu = 0.775 VRMS.
