The AJA Ki Pro Rack is a tapeless, file-based video recorder that captures and records in ready-to-edit ProRes and DNxHD codecs, in 10-bit 4:2:2 full-raster files, and onto HDD or SSD storage modules (sold separately). 10-bit 4:2:2 color depth provides superior dynamic range, original picture representation, and flexibility in adjusting color and balance in post. Two slots are available for the storage modules.
Ki Pro features RS-422 control for integrating with editing systems, external controllers, and with tape decks (to capture tape-based media as ProRes). Also by RS-422, assemble edits can be sent direct to storage modules, often faster than rendering to ProRes or DNxHD.
The panel controls are for the most part identical to those of tape decks. The display screen and operating system work hand-in-hand to facilitate full configuration without any connection to a separate computer: all information is displayed clearly on the screen and the OS control menu is a fast and flat one.
The AJA Ki-PRO is a unique recording device designed to streamline post production workflow by simplifying video acquisition. The unit features both SDI and HDMI inputs, making it compatible with most prosumer and professional cameras. The KiPRO takes advantage of Apple's ProRes technology for a seamless transition from "lens to post". The device records to high-capacity drives from a wide variety of cameras and will accept either the 500gb or 250gb drive for large or larger recording capacity and flexibility.
250GB and 500GB hard drive rented separately
