Overview
Ki Pro Ultra is a 4K/Ultra HD/2K/HD file-based video recorder and player, supporting the latest connectivity and large raster high-framerate workflows, including 4K 60p.
Both Square Division and Two Sample Interleave (2SI) formats for 4K and Ultra HD are supported. 3G-SDI, Fiber and HDMI digital video connectivity and a wealth of analog and digital audio connectivity answers any project’s demand for efficient, powerful and flexible workflows.
Designed to be either portable or rack-mountable with half-rack wide, 2RU high dimensions, it’s well suited for use in studio/truck environments in addition to on-set and even digital signage applications. The Ki Pro Ultra answers the growing demand for 4K and Ultra HD capable recorder products with full support for current HD projects. Ki Pro Ultra enables manageable large-raster workflows, supporting a broad range of video formats and framerates recorded directly to AJA’s proven and reliable Pak Media, offering the lowest cost per GB available today. With its extensive analog and digital connectivity, virtually any video and audio source can feed into Ki Pro Ultra, which allows you to record in the format you want to edit and deliver.
Internally, Ki Pro Ultra natively supports the Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD/DNxHR codecs in hardware, allowing realtime capture. In fact, while the camera is recording to its own tape or file-based memory, Ki Pro Ultra can simultaneously capture the media as ProRes or DNxHD/DNxHR so it’s instantly ready to edit when the removable storage module is connected to a computer.
With this kind of flexibility, you can save time, steps, and get your project done quicker and with the highest quality. Smooth slow motion playback can be obtained easily with full control via the RS-422 serial connection or through the simple and intuitive on-unit menu system. Menus and images are beautifully rendered on a new high resolution LCD display enabling detailed playback and monitoring in all environments. Ki Pro Ultra—the ultimate next-generation digital recorder and player.
