    You’re right, according to the manual it should be like that, but it isn’t,
    so it’s good if you are also making a request to get it running.

    Gerhard.

    the record override that arrived in v3.1 of the software allows for the recording when the camera is not,or when signal is lost during a recording, but you need to manually enable this setting in the interface to allow the KiPro to record when the camera is not running, it is not enabled by default.

    Parameter # 32.0 Loss of Video

    This parameter selects whether recording continues when valid video is not present.
    Note: If CONT Rec is selected, and a loss of video is encountered, a graphic with the text “LOSS
    OF VIDEO” superimposed over color bars will appear. Be sure to check your source and
    video connections if you are experiencing a loss of video.

    Turn off the camera flag.

    Are you using the RP188 for TC too?

    No I don’t want to. That’s the point I want have it working and at the same time be able to rec manually.

    you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

    How are you going to match clips then when the record function forces clip naming to clips that have not been recorded in camera?

    Your post workflows are far better off turning off the Alexa metadata in this situation than not. Leaving it on will screw up your post production methodology of matching back to the camera originals.

    Thanks Gary, I knew the option and I have used it already.

    My request is the same as Leonardos, to record automatically with the camera or to do it manually if the camera is not recording. From my side the KiPro is not used for later conforming with the originals, it’s used as a video assist unit to record on set, also rehearsals where the cam is not rolling.

    If I would use it as a offline proxy recording machine it wouldn’t make much sense to record manually too, like you said.

    Best,
    Gerhard
