Today a customer contacted AJA Technical Support because there was some confusion on which camera settings on the Canon EOS C300 needed to be set in order to extract 1080p 23.98 fps from the camera's 1080i 59.94Hz output when coupled with the AJA Ki Pro Mini. I thought it might be beneficial to supply some information here for the benefit of Canon/AJA users who might wish to do this.

Canon EOS C300 settings:
SDI Output>HD
NTSC/PAL>NTSC
Bit Rate/Resolution>50 Mbps 1920x1080
Frame Rate>23.98P
SDI Rec Command>On

Important information regarding 1080p 23.98 fps extraction from 1080i 59.94Hz can be found on page 79 of the Canon EOS C300 user manual. The user manual can be found on the Canon website at:
