Power loss during recording

[Michael Moser]

Actually in answer to my own question, maybe one of these ups units that are the footprint of a
surge protector/power strip would work.

I think in the field we’ll probably be working from batteries and have plenty of warning before they go down. But this is definitely a vulnerability to be worked. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could design a ups that is integral to the transformer, or the plug.

[Michael Moser] “Is there any emergency closeout procedure contemplated in future updates or implemented in the current unit?”

Yes, this has been discussed at length. While not in the initial release of the software I have been told that plans to incorporate emergency closeout are part of the roadmap.

The 1.0 release of the KiPro software does not include it.

I was testing this yesterday and I found that most of the batteries are giving a shutdown warning that the KiPro does see. I was able to close out a 20min record (takes about 10 sec) because of the “flashing” notification the unit sent when the power on a Hytron 140 started to wane.

I also checked with my Dionics and IDX batts and found the same response when the power levels reached about 10-15%.
