KiPro software update available

[Wolf Austad]

Was considering the KiPro for an upcoming job and looked over the training videos and the manual for the KiPro.

Here is a suggestion for next release:
Separate the Formatting menu from the menu where you type in Scene & Take numbers. Since the Scene and Take numbers will be the most accessed menu on a narrative shoot, I think it’s good to have the Formatting kept far away from it. If nothing else than for my peace of mind.

Since I’ve only read the manual + watched the training videos, but have no real life production experience with the KiPro yet I could of course be mistaken about this.

[Wolf Austad] “Separate the Formatting menu from the menu where you type in Scene & Take numbers.”

it is a separate menu item under MEDIA.

All functions relating to how you handle the media are in the same grouping.

I have not been able to errantly re-foramt a drive from the unit interface settings- nor could 3 other people that I had try, one of which was my mother who is in her 70’s!

formatting the drive is a 3 step process.

You must tell the machine that you want to format.
You must activate a separate button to ARM the formatting process.
You then release and hold down that a button for 2 secs before formatting begins.

You immediately exit the process by pushing any one of the Transport buttons.
