MAVO LF BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Kinefinity Inc. has been developing cinema cameras covering optical design to FPGA, circuits and software, with assistance from filmmakers, broadcasting industry and academic schools.
The large format MAVO LF and MAVO S35 cameras are considered to be the flagship 6K cameras by Kinefinity. MAVO LF, is the full frame camera of Kinefinity, 6K wide records up to 75fps and 4K wide up to 100fps, can either shoot ProRes or RAW.
Full frame 3:2 6K CMOS imaging sensor; Dual native ISO: 5120/800, low noise level and high latitude image at both settings; ProRes: In-camera ProRes recording at full resolution, in-camera oversampling 6K to 4K/3K; Compressed RAW cDNG: The compression ratio of cDNG can be set to 3:1, 5:1, or 7:1, which is
supported by DaVinci Resolve for editing or grading;
Compressed RAW KRW 2.0: It might be enabled in firmware in 2019; High frame rate: Up to 200fps@2K Wide; up to 150fps@3K Wide; up to 100fps@ 4K Wide; Low rolling effect: Fast sensor readout speed, barely suffer any rolling shutter effect ; 14+ stops with KineLOG3: Preserve highlight and shadow perfectly, provide maximum room for
post;
Custom LUT: Support third-party 3D LUT from shooting to post; 2.5-inch 7mm professional KineMAG SSD as Record Media, compatible with consumer-type SSD; KineMOUNT (Interchangeable mounting system) supports PL/EF/Sony E Mount and even EF/PL
Mount with e-ND;
Multiple monitoring outputs: Video port x2 and HD output x1 on the body; 3G SDI output X2
through KineBACK-W.
MAVO LF follows the very compact and modular body of TERRA/MAVO and shares most of the accessories with the two cameras, suitable for both one-man job and film crew. ProRes codec enables fluent post workflow. With professional ports, MAVO LF is a powerful cinema camera that offers amazing footages while supporting an effective post workflow.

SAFETY TIPS
Please read all contents of the manual carefully:
Pay attention to the CAUTION and NOTE; Do not use the camera near water in case of water droplets that can splash on the camera body; Do not expose the camera to severe vibrations; Do not use camera under direct sunlight; operating temperature should be from 0 ℃ to 40℃; Do not use the camera near strong magnetic field, pretty dust, high humidity or lighting storm places; Avoid condensation during transportation or transitions; Do not block the vent, or it will cause overheating that will damage the camera; Do not expose the LCD/OLED screen to harsh direct sunlight, and do not squeeze or hit the monitor in
case of any damage to the screen;
Only use accessories recommended by Kinefinity.
While using the camera, please:
Turn off the camera when you try to attach or detach a Lens Mount, KineBACK-W or HDMI monitor; Avoid touching the OLPF when attaching or detaching an adapter, as the optical element is fragile.
MAVO LF is with changeable OLPF, please be careful when you change it;
The EF mounting adapter is a lever-locking (cine-type) EF mount. When mounting a lens to the camera,
the position of red dot in the mount is DIFFERENT from a DSLR camera. Secondly, it is a LOCKING RING rotation, NOT a lens rotation. Make sure the EF lens is aligned pogo-pin contact inside of EF mount, now you can firmly lock the lens in place by rotating the locking ring on the lens mount (the arrow on the mount suggests which direction);
Hold the lens while detaching it from the lens mount, to prevent from accident. We strongly recommend inserting or removing the SSD only after camera is powered down. If you like
to hotswap, you must Deactivate the SSD at first (SSD section in UI shows SSD: Ins), and then push up the SSD latch to get the SSD out.

2. QUICK GUIDE
2.1 Power Supply
The camera allows different types of power supplies:
GripBAT 45Wh (compatible with BP-U30) fits MAVO LF with SideGrip.
Single GripBAT 45Wh is able to power the camera for 100 mins. SideGrip is connected to the "SideGrip Port" on camera body by three M2.5 screws, which enables a kind of “DSLRshooting style.
Supper Compact V battery KineBAT 120Wh (compatible with V-
mount batteries) fits camera with KineBACK-W. Single KineBAT 120Wh can power the camera for more than four hours. KineBACK-W only comes in a V-mount version, and does work with other V-mount batteries. KineBACK-W has one EXT port providing 12V output and also two D-TAP ports. For the definition of EXT port, please refer to Chapter
5.2.3.
Use different power cords to the 2-pin power port of camera body:
D-Tap Power Cord: connect the D-Tap plug to the D-Tap socket of battery/battery plate, and
connect 2-pin push-pull plug to the 2-pin power socket of camera body;
XLR Power Cord: connect the 4-pin standard XLR plug to the XLR socket on storage battery
(11~19V), and connect the 2-pin push-pull plug to the 2-pin power port on camera body;
Kine AC Power Adapter: connect the adapter to a power bar, and plug 2-pin push-pull plug to the
2-pin power socket of camera body.
CAUTION The input range is 11~19V, don't go above or the camera might be burned. CAUTION Please pay attention to the direction of 2-pin DC IN port on the camera body while
pulling/plugging the power cords: please align the red dots.
NOTE A V-mount to Anton-Bauer Plate Adapter is needed if you want to use Anton-Bauer (golden
mount) broadcast batteries.
NOTE When two of the three power supplies are available at the same time, the camera automatically
chooses the source with higher voltage, and allows hot-swap of batteries.
NOTE To save power, use other power supply for monitors and turn off WIFI. NOTE Since KineOS 6.2, if the voltage detected is too low to continue shooting, the camera will
automatically stop recording to avoid damage on the clip. However, for sudden power failure due to accident during the recording of a file, the last clip might be damaged, and please refer to Chapter 2.5 SSD MAG.

MAVO LF Operation ManualKineOS 6.2
2.2 Mount
MAVO LF is designed with a native KineMOUNT, which needs a Mounting Adapter II to attach a lens to the camera. The available adapters include EF Mounting Adapter II, EF Mounting Adapter II with KineEnhancer, EF Mounting Adapter II with e-ND, PL Mounting Adapter II, PL Mounting Adapter II with e-ND, and also SONY E Mounting Adapter.
There are only three steps to install a“Lens Mouting Adapter IIto the KineMOUNT, we take EF adapter as an example. Turn off the camera and then:
1. Release: keep pressing the KineMOUNT Release Button and rotate the locking ring of the KineMOUNT counter-clockwise then take off the KineMOUNT cover;
2. Install: there is a positioning slot above the electronic contacts of the KineMOUNT, please align the arcuate protrusion on the adapter with the locating slot of KineMOUNT when attaching the mounting adapter to the camera;
3. Lock: rotate the locking ring of KineMOUNT clockwise to fasten the adapter to KineMOUNT firmly.
Power on the camera after mounting the adapter. Press [Configuration] and check the bottom of this menu, if it presents EF sys 9(or other number), it means you have mounted the adapter successfully.
CAUTION Power off camera when swapping different adapters, else camera or adapters may get burned.
CAUTION As the FFD of KineMOUNT is very short, please don't try to attach any lens directly to
KineMOUNT, or it will cause permanent damage to CMOS imaging sensor and OLPF, except lenses tailored for KineMOUNT.
NOTE The KineMOUNT only works with Mounting Adapter II.
NOTE When install the EF Mounting Adapter II with KineEnhancer or e-ND, please don't touch the
optical glass. Any damage caused to the glass is irreversible, and the glass has to be replaced.

MAVO LF Operation ManualKineOS 6.2
2.3 Lens
No matter if you attaching a DSLR still lens or PL cine lens, the camera employs a Lever-locking (Cine-style) mounting system, rather than a DSLR camera mount.
Steps to attach EF lenses
1. Release: Rotate the locking ring of the EF mount clockwise, take off the cover and lens cover;
2. Install: Align the "red dot" on the lens with the "red dot" on the mounting adapter. Make sure that the pin on mount engages with the hole in the mount of the lens. For EF-S lens, align the white square on lens with the one on the mount.
3. Lock: Rotate locking ring (NOT lens) counter-clockwise (follow the arrow of "lock sign" on mount) until it is fastened firmly.
CAUTION The mounting adapter might be burned if a lens/adapter with all-metal rear end is attached
directly to the camera body. In this case, please keep electronic iris control off: [ConfigurationSettings Active MountDisable].
NOTE The following mount lenses with electronic contacts: Sigma18-35 T2.0 and Canon18-80 T4.0,
may show iris value on UI, but please do not change the value by the Wheel, or it will cause the malfunction of the camera or the lens, we strongly recommend turning off the electronic iris control. [ConfigurationSettings Active MountDisable].

MAVO LF Operation ManualKineOS 6.2
2.4 Monitoring
Please choose a recommended EVF or Field Monitor with Video, 3G-SDI (Not HD-SDI) or HD digital input, and connect the input port of EVF or monitor to output port of the camera body with a high quality cable. Suggestions for monitoring:
KineMON 5″ Full-HD Monitor: with the Kine Video Cord our monitor gets both power supply and
video signal through the same cable. There are many appropriate accessories available to firmly mount the monitor according different needs.
SmallHD Monitors 500 series and 700 series: can be connected to the HD Type-A port and two 3G-
SDI ports on the KineBACK-W.
FSI broadcasting/cine monitor or other monitor with 3G-SDI port as director monitor or DIT monitor.
For the current firmware, HD Type-A port is only for video monitoring, but SDI port also supports audio signal: output audio during the playback of files.
CAUTION Connect the monitors to the camera by HD video cable or SDI cable (75) before they are turned
on, and please also pay attention to the direction of the D-TAP cord.
NOTE Please choose the LP-E6 Battery Coupler (7.4V) when using the 3rd-party monitors. NOTE The video output is only for monitoring, not recording. The monitoring FPS is different from
CMOS imaging sensor FPS; therefore, the external recorder cannot get the clips with the same FPS and resolution as CMOS imaging sensor.
Functions of Buttons on KineMON
PEAK: peaking focus, show the red line peaking as an overlay on a black-and-white image; CLIP: marks clip exposure, show the overexposure and underexposure area; False: marks false color exposure: overexposure/underexposure areas and the area between; Wheel: press the wheel to trigger backlight setting, and rotate the wheel to set the level of backlight.
NOTE Turn off the KineMON to save the power for longer duration.

SSD File System Formats: NTFS & HFS
The camera supports both NTFS and HFS format for SSD. The default format is HFS, but for Windows platform, you can set it to format in NTFS by:
[ConfigurationSettingsSSD File System] choose NTFS
Then reboot the camera and rebuild the SSD in camera, the file system of the SSD will be NTFS.
NOTE For Mac platform, you can still use NTFS: since MacOS 10.12 Sierra, MacOS can access NTFS files.
Do not write data or format SSD on Mac or Windows.
NOTE Rebuild/format the SSD in camera ONLY.
NOTE When the file system format of the camera is set to NTFS, the SSD of HFS can not be activated in
the camera. Here are two solutions for such situation: change the format of the camera into HFS
and then reboot to take effect; or back up your SSD on a computer, and then rebuild/format the
SSD in camera as NTFS. MAKE SURE to backup your clips before you format SSD.
NOTE If there is power failure accident while recording, the NTFS SSD may not be activated when the
camera is powered on again. Please back up your clips and then rebuild the SSD, or you have to
use another SSD to continue the shoot. While HFS SSD can be activated after powering the
camera, but the last clip may need to be recovered by special software in Windows.
NOTE To recover the cDNG/ProRes clip damaged by power failure, please refer to Chapter 4.13.

2.6 Audio
There are three audio recording methods:
In-camera MIC: record audio using the in-camera MIC even if there is no KineAudio or 3.5mm MIC; 3.5mm Plug-in-power port: suited for 3.5mm MIC; KineAudio dual XLR ports with Phantom 48V: KineAudio is a high-quality pre-amp audio module with
Phantom 48V, and it is integrated into KineBACK-W. Also, it has dual industry-standard XLR ports for professional condenser microphones. KineAudio CH1 and CH2 channel can be set independently since KineOS 6.112.
If the camera has no KineBACK-W or KineAudio is disabled, audio is recorded by 3.5mm MIC if a microphone is connected to the 3.5mm port; if no microphone is connected, audio will be recorded by the in-camera MIC.
NOTE The audio will be packed into mov file only when the project FPS is the same as sensor FPS, or it
will be recorded into a separate mov file. For example, if the project FPS is 25.000, when the
sensor FPS is set to 30.000, it will show yellow 30.000 on the UI.
KineAudio and Phantom 48V
If a microphone needs Phantom 48V, you need to set the KineAudio: press the [Audio] button twice

2.8 Codec
There are two in-camera recording codecs in current firmware, set the default codec by:
[ConfigurationShootingDefault CODEC ProRes (.mov) /cDNG(.dng)]
We recommend shooting ProRes as the camera supports in-camera ProRes recording at all resolution and fps: 6K/5K/4K/3K/2K even 4K Wide 100fps for 422 format. Besides ProRes422HQ, MAVO LF also supports ProRes4444XQ, 4444 and keeps all dynamic range of ProRes clips with KineLOG3, while the monitoring LUT will not be burned into the clips.
MAVO LF can in-camera record compressed RAW as well with cDNG format, and the compression ratio is configurable, from 3:1, 5:1 to 7:1. DaVinci Resolve natively supports cDNG, so that you can directly import, edit and grade the cDNG footage shot by the camera in DaVinci Resolve! No matter what compression ratio 3:1, 5:1 or 7:1, every format is able to achieve super high quality image and room for post-production.
NOTE No need to reboot the camera when switching between codecs, but the screen will be black with
a cross in the center for 3 seconds during the switch.
NOTE The camera only supports ProRes4444XQ recording to 4K up to 48fps, ProRes4444 to 6K up to
30fps due to maximum write speed of SATA interface.

2.9 Downscale and Crop Mode
In comparison with the discontinued TERRA 6K, MAVO LF doesn't need the 'HiSpeed' mode to be able to record high fps. Due to the native, super fast sensor readout time, the camera has a very low jello/skew effect, even with fast pans its rolling effect is hardly noticeable and the readout time of this camera is comparable to the best and most awarded cameras in this industry. Because there is no need for the so called 'HiSpeed mode', the sensor doesn't suffer from noisy images, aliasing and moire.
Oversampling/Downscale
Oversampling/Downscale: recording (output) resolution is less than actual sampling resolution by CMOS imaging sensor, while the image format of recording is the same with the image format of sampling. As all effective area of imaging sensor is used, there is lower noise level and shaper image. Oversampling at FF is 4K/3K.
For most cases, downscale 4K ProRes at FF is recommended.
NOTE Due to the downscale in-camera process, there is no 4K/3K RAW under FF.
Cropping Mode
Cropping means that the CMOS imaging sensor only utilizes a center part of the image as effective sampling area. Cropping mode boosts frame rate higher than full resolution sampling:
Output 6K Wide full resolution sampling, up to 75fps; Cropping Mode, 3K Wide (M4/3), up to 150fps; Cropping Mode, 2K Wide (S16), up to 200fps.
Oversampling + Cropping = infinity combination of resolution, fps and framing. Select Cropping Mode by:

2.10 Access clips on PC/MAC
Access SSD on PC/MAC
To access Clips from SSDs on PC/MAC, a SATA to USB3.0 reader is used to connect SSD to the workstation:
MAC platform (MacOS Sierra or higher version) can access SSD with either NTFS or HFS file format; Windows platform can only access SSD with NTFS file format (format must be set as NTFS in camera).
NOTE Only the reader that supplied by Kinefinity is recommended to access SSD as some 3rd-party
reader may not work.
Play ProRes Clips on PC/MAC
All dynamic range of KineLOG3 ProRes clips is retained, and monitoring LUT will not be burned into the clips. Therefore, LOG clips retain all of their dynamic range and color information. While playbacking the footage at a computer use the LUT file that was used inside the camera and the image looks identical to the one while monitoring during the recording.
When using Windows you need to install Quicktime7 to access ProRes mov file, while other DI softwares such as SCRATCH, DaVinci Resolve do not need to install Quicktime7 to work with those files. MAC platform can access or play ProRes files without other software tools.
Clip Folder
Each clip is saved in the SSD. The folder name is nearly the same as the clip name, but no file extension, eg: folder PRJ-0002-003-A2_5D8A (meaning of clip name, see 3.1 Footages and Projects Information) includes:
PRJ-0002-003-A2_5D8A.mov: is ProRes mov file. PRJ-0002-003-A2_5D8A-L.wav and PRJ-0002-003-A2_5D8A-R.wav: are the uncompressed audio files
of CH1 and CH2.
***.cube and ***.look are the LUT while monitoring, format is cube or look format. PRJ-0002-003-A2_5D8A_snapshot.bmp: the snapshot of this clip, resolution 1/2x1/2. PRJ-0002-003-A2_5D8A-slate.txt: contains most of the information when shooting the clip, like
shutter speed, ISO, highlight, color temp, etc.
0.mt: internal camera information when recording.
Please send xxx-slate.txt and 0.mt to Kinefinity if clip files show abnormal.
NOTE If Project FPS is the same as Sensor FPS (shooting FPS), audio is embedded into ProRes mov file,
else audio is not embedded into mov file. But the camera always records audio into two wav files
at the same time, no matter slow-mo, quick-mo or regular speed.
©2019 Kinefinity Inc. Page 20 / 62
MAVO LF Operation ManualKineOS 6.2
NOTE When importing mov files into editing software, enter and search *.mov by the dialog box, all
mov files will be listed automatically, then press CTRL+A / +A to select all mov files and drag
them inside your NLE.
Post Workflow on cDNG
The camera can in-camera record compressed RAW as cDNG format, and the compression ratio is configurable, from 3:1, 5:1 to 7:1, each is able to achieve super high quality image and room for post­production. DaVinci Resolve natively supports cDNG, so that you can directly import, edit and grade the cDNG footage shot by the camera in DaVinci Resolve! And cDNG is also natively supported by SCRATCH V9.0. The LUT used on site is automatically applied when you import the cDNG clip into SCRATCH, and the audio track is also connected automatically.
For RAW files, they might look different in DI tools. But SCRATCH V9.0 has optimized the process for clips of Kine cameras, it applies the LUT you used automatically to the clip. After disabling the LUT, you will get the right RAW clip embedded with KineLOG3, which looks the same as the ProRes clip with KineLOG3, and you can add Kine NeutM LUT or other LUT into it. Since DaVinci Resolve doesn't have such optimization for the clips, the color will be quite different when import cDNG file into Resolve. But we can adjust the RAW decoding settings to get the actual RAW clip embedded with KineLOG3.
1. Set RAW Project: open Resolve, then [Project
SettingsCamera RAW];
2. Set decoding method: select [RAW
ProfileCinemaDNG], and then choose [Decode UsingProject];
3. Set decoding details:
a) White Balance: choose [Cloudy]; b) Gamma: select [Linear]; c) Lift: set to 3.20; d) Tint: unboxed, and use the default as
10.00 After the settings are done, you can import cDNG files and get the clip with KineLOG3.
NOTE Compressed RAW is only supported by
DaVinci Resolve and SCRATCH, but Adobe and other DI tools don't support
cDNG yet.

3.2 Exposure and White Balance
The color temperature is tuned by directly adjusting RGB channels of sensor to change original RAW data, rather than apply a digital LUT. Although you can modify white balance of RAW data or change color temperature by post processing, all the modifications are based on the data you shoot previously. In order to minimize the distortion in post processing, it is important to gain as accurate color temperature as possible in shooting stage.
3.2.1 Color Temperature List
The camera has two types of color temperature lists for white balance: Simple List and Complete List.
Simple List: with typical color temperatures such as 2800K, 3200K, 4300K,
5500K, 5600K, 6400K and User WB. Among them, UserWB is user-defined value, which is automatically generated when do the Auto WB manually.
Complete List: complete color temperatures according to the portfolios
of color temperatures (in accordance with the 100K for a step) and lighting types. You can simply choose the one to match with your shooting condition.
To change color temperatures: [ConfigurationLiveview Color Temperature List]
3.2.2 Auto White Balance
For most cases, the Complete List of color temperature will meet the needs. However, if the color temperatures listed in the built-in list are not enough to meet complex shooting lighting conditions, use a gray card or white card to do Auto WB to achieve specific color temperature. To do the Auto WB:
1. Put a gray card at front of the camera;
2. You may Zoom to make the gray/white card cover the whole display;
3. Choose: [ConfigurationLiveview Custom White Balance]
The camera corrects the white balance parameters, and writes the color temperature value to the UserWB. Once the UserWB is set, it can be used anytime later on.

3.2.3 Waveforms
Waveforms, zebra and histogram help cinematographers determine the exposure of images. Waveform indicates the brightness of images over the horizontal direction, while histogram shows the statistical information on the brightness of whole image.
The Waveform matches the images by default, and shows the LUT NeutM, too. Waveform will change according to the different LUT. You can also choose to check the waveform without LUT by

3.2.4 Zebra
Zebra strip is a very straightforward way to show the overexposed area in an image.
For Kine cameras, the zebra calculation is based on RAW data: RAW data is overexposed when the zebra appears. So observe carefully to avoid unintentional over-exposure in most cases, as it is the "dead white" in the post workflow.
Zebra threshold value can be set at different values:
[ConfigurationLiveviewZebra Pattern].
The default threshold value is 90%: it means that it displays zebra when the light exceeds 90% of the maximum range.
3.2.5 e-ND
E-ND refers to electronic ND (Electronic Neutral Density Filter), it is based on modern liquid crystal materials and optics controlled electronically, which is completely unlike conventional technology such as a rotating filter wheel or polarising ND Filters. It covers a wide range from 0.6 to 3.0 (2 stops to 10 stops), and brings sharp images with color fidelity.
Seamless adjustment brings a very important feature: accurate exposure stop, which is what traditional glass ND filters don't have. You can also set the accuracy to one stop (0.3) for each rotate, but the default set is seamless adjustment by 0.1 stop (0.03).
NOTE E-ND is only embedded to EF/PL adapters, but not inside the camera
body.

Timecode is one of key features of cinema camera. The camera shows time code in the Liveview and Playback state. Timecode is written into recorded clips. For ProRes, the mov file contains a single timecode track; for RAW, every single frame contains a specific timecode.
The camera has three types of timecodes:
Free run: timecode runs all the time, no matter if you recording or
not, and the timecode is embedded into recorded clips;
Record run: timecode runs only when recording. We suggest to set
timecode to 00: 00: 00: 00 when a new project begins;
External TC: the camera can use timecode from external device like
Ambient NanoLockit as timecode of camera: using special cable to connect timecode generator to the TC port (on KineBACK-W), then set timecode source as external in the menu.
To set the timecode:

choose from 3.3~5.6 stops. For different highlight stop, camera has minimum ISO value, for example: highlight stop is 3.6, minimum ISO is 200, while for 4.3 stop, minimum ISO 320.
EI Mode
The nominal EI value is similar with the setting in Alexa or RED cameras. Changing value of EI affects the Highlight and shadow stops, image brightness adjusted by digital gain while analog gain of the CMOS imaging sensor remains unchanged.
Change EI: sensitivity and dynamic range unchanged, while highlight and shadow stops changed, and image brightness changes. The highlight of EI 640 is
5.3 stops, and 5.6 stops for EI 800. Switch between EI/ISO:
Difference between ISO mode and EI mode: in ISO mode, changing the ISO value means using analog gain on the camera, which changes the sensitivity of CMOS imaging sensor, but the highlight stop remains unchanged; in EI mode, changing the value doesn't change the sensitivity of the CMOS imaging sensor, but use digital gain on the camera, which changes highlight as a result.
[ConfigurationShootingSensitivity Mode].

MAVO LF Operation ManualKineOS 6.2
NOTE At Liveview, 18% gray matches EI value to maintain the same brightness
for shooting and post work.
NOTE Suggest shooting at ISO mode if you are not completely understand the
EI and ISO mode.
Dual ISO
MAVO LF's sensor has a Dual Native ISO: 5120/800, which allows it to capture low­noise image with high dynamic range in regular scenes or low-light environment very easily. When highlight level is 4.3, the native ISO for range from 320 to 1280 is on 800 base, and 5120 for range from 1600 to higher ISO. For EI mode, native EI for range from 200 to 2000 is on 800 base, and 5120 for range from 2560 to higher ISO.

3.9 3D and SYNC
Two cameras with KineBACK-W can implement real 3D shooting; you can shoot multiple cameras in total sync with more cameras and KineSYNC box.
For Kine cameras in sync state, the sensors are almost completely synchronized: time code synchronization, frame synchronization and scanning synchronization with less than 5us mismatch. You need to prepare:
1. Each camera equipped with KineBACK-W (3D shooting option embedded); all cameras with the exact same firmware;
2. One or more 3D SYNC cables;
3. For multi-cam SYNC, a KineSYNC box is a must.
NOTE One KineSYNC Box can help a Master to synchronize seven
slaves. To synchronize 32 cameras, you will need 32/7=5 KineSYNC Boxes.
3.9.1 Steps to set the two cameras
For 3D shooting:
1. Connect the cameras: power off the two cameras, and connect them with 3D SYNC cable to their SYNC ports on KineBACK-W;
2. Settings: mirror shooting parameters for both of the cameras such as: shutter, sensor fps, project fps, resolution, ISO, highlights, etc. (suggest factory reset at first);
3. Naming the clip: [ConfigurationShootingSlate] Please set the Lens number of Master to 0001, and slave one to 0002, which represent the left eye clips and the right eye clips. All the other clip parameters must be set exactly the same, except clip names;
4. Auto WB with gray or white card for two cameras respectively, so that they gain consistent color temperature;
5. SYNC: choose one camera to set: [ConfigurationSYNC3D Master], and the other one: [ConfigurationSYNC3D Slave], then a sync confirmation will pop up to confirm the serial number of the Master camera.
After confirming the connection, Master/Slave in Green font appears on the upper left corner of the screen, then press REC button of the Master Camera, two cameras shoot fully consistent clips, which match the left eye and right eye respectively.

3.9.2 Playback and Change Parameters
In current firmware version, playback is yet not supported in 3D, and you can only playback in 2D mode. Therefore, you have to exit 3D settings firstly:
If you want to change parameters, please exit from SYNC mode and set the parameters before you SYNC the camera again when in Liveview mode.
Here are the steps:
1. Exit from SYNC: please press Configuration or Playback button on the Master Camera, choose [Disconnect 3D Sync] in the pop-up window. The Master Camera turns into 2D/Single operation mode, and the SLAVE enters SYNC mode: Green Slave will become Yellow SYNC indicating that the Slave Camera enters into the standby state.
2. Change parameters: set the parameters for shooting or play back clips;
3. Sync again: set the 3D menu of the Master Camera, and connect the Slave Camera again.
During the process, you don't have to set the Slave Camera, meanwhile, the 3D SYNC cable keeps connecting the two cameras.
3.9.3 Clip Name for Post Workflow
After the 3D shooting, the names of Master Camera and Slave Camera will be:
PRJ-0002-003-A1-5D8B.mov PRJ-0002-003-A2-5D8B.mov
They represent the Left eye clip and Right eye clip. A1 and A2 stand for lens number just as you set before shooting, A1 is the Master camera, A2, the Slave Camera.
In this case, even you put all clips under one folder, there won't be naming conflicts, and all the right eye clips are adjacent to the corresponding left eye clips naturally.
For the naming of clips in details, please refer to Section 3.1.

Anamorphic Lens]
3.10 Anamorphic Lens Support And 4:3 Recording
Anamorphic was a technical choice for filming, but now an aesthetic preference. Echo to more affordable anamorphic lenses, TERRA 4K, MAVO and MAVO LF are also good choices for anamorphic shooting, as the CMOS imaging sensors are all 3:2. For MAVO LF, the full frame 36x24mm sensor allows:
S35 anamorphic; Full frame anamorphic, which equals to 65mm; Open Gate: 6016×3984, all pixels of the CMOS imaging sensor are
captured, leave maximum room for post processing.
The camera supports 2x, 1.8x, 1.75x, 1.5x, 1.33x, 1.25x, 0.5x anamorphic shooting, which falls into almost all anamorphic lenses in the market.
When use 2x anamorphic lens:
For monitoring when shooting at 4:3 with anamorphic lens, you can de­squeeze the images into normal image by setting anamorphic lens factor in Configuration menu. For example, anamorphic lens factor is 2, set the factor in camera to 2, then you can get 2.66:1 instead of normal view of 4:3.
Set the ratio:
[ConfigurationLiveview Anamorphic Lens]
NOTE The recorded clips are 4:3 instead of de-squeezed and
monitoring depends on the ratio you set. To get normal monitoring, you need to set de-squeeze factor to match lens,

but the actual clips are still 4:3.

4. FAQ
If there is an issue about the camera or accessory, please check the related chapter in this manual. If the issue still exists, please make a short video and fill in the issue report on issue report page. We will contact you within one working day. The issues below are mostly due to improper operation of accessories or camera settings.
1. Windows OS cannot get access to SSD:
Please check if the file system of KineMAG is NTFS. To change the format into NTFS before recording,
you need to set: [ConfigurationSettingsSSD file system: NTFS], then rebuild the SSD in the camera.
Try another SSD reader.
2. Press REC button, camera does not record, no tally light.
Please insert the SSD into the camera before power on, rebuild the SSD into NTFS or HFS and activate it, the SSD is ready for recording only when the SSD indicator is green,.
3. Camera stop recording automatically after a few seconds when recording:
Check if your SSD has no capacity, and it shows red on the UI; Check if you use KineMAG SSD: if you use 3rd-party SSD, its speed may not be fast enough.
4. No signal on Monitor:
Power off camera and connect output ports on the camera body to the input ports of monitors with
high quality cable. Power on the camera and monitors after all parts set up well.
Power off the monitor and reconnect the video cable.
5. Liveview seems dropping or skipping frames, stutter when camera pans:
It is normal for monitoring when panning, but recorded clips do not drop any frame if using KineMAG SSD.
Skipping frame on monitoring: monitoring signal from Kine camera is based on 25fps progressive (or
other CMOS imaging sensor fps), not 50i;
Skipping frame when playback on workstation: if recorded clips are 25fps, less than 30fps, the clips
will show it. If recording 50fps, and playback at 50fps, it will be much better.
6. No images from SDI on KineBACK-W:
Check if the monitor supports 3G-SDI, as the SDI output of KineBACK-W is 1080p;
©2019 Kinefinity Inc. Page 40 / 62
MAVO LF Operation ManualKineOS 6.2
Restore to factory reset: [ConfigurationSystem Factory Reset], or power on the camera with a USB
thumb connected to USB port.
7. No audio when playback the clip
Please check if the project fps is the same with sensor fps, if not, the audio will not be packed into ProRes mov, but be saved as two wave files to the clip folder. For details, see section 3.3 Slow-Mo and Quick-Mo.
8. Iris of electronic EF lens cannot be adjusted:
Make sure attach EF lens to EF mount in right way: please refer to Section 2.3 Quick Guide – Lens; Make sure that the Active EF mounting adapter is assembled well: please refer to 2.2 Mount. EF
mounting adapter will show the "ef sys" + version number at the bottom of the menu;
Make sure the EF lens is compatible with Kine cameras: Whitelist for lens; Make sure the iris control enabled: [ConfigurationSettingsActive MountEnhanced]
9. There is no sound after inserting with XLR MIC of KineBACK-W:
Make sure there is a good connection between XLR port and the MIC; Turn on KineAudio: press twice on Audio button or [ConfigurationAudioKineAudio: ON]; Turn on Phantom 48V if using phantom powered MIC: press twice on Audio button or
[ConfigurationAudioPhantom 48V: ON]
10. Camera can not update with new firmware:
Check whether [USB] shown in the UI after USB stick is inserted to the USB socket of camera, else
change another USB socket to try it;
Check USB disk is FAT32, not NTFS nor HFS; Check if the firmware is stored at the root folder of USB disk, and no other firmware files in the same
place;
Rebuild the USB disk as FAT applying MBR partition.
11. Black screen with a cross while switch between the codecs:
You don't have to reboot the camera when switching between codecs, but the screen will be black with a cross in the center for a few seconds, this is not a failure or a bug.
