AJA Video is a leading manufacturer of high-quality and cost-effective digital video interface, conversion and desktop solutions supporting the professional broadcast and post-production markets since 1993.

AJA's new Ki Pro is a tapeless video recording device that records high-quality Apple ProRes 422 QuickTime files onto computer-friendly media. Because it features SD/HD-SDI, HDMI, and analogue inputs, you can interface with virtually any type of camera you might own or rent and enjoy monitoring flexibility through Ki Pro's numerous simultaneous outputs; connecting to both professional and consumer monitors.

Ki Pro is portable and rugged; designed for real production environments.

Alongside the camera, the familiar VTR-like buttons provide immediate controls for basic operation and remote operation can be achieved using a web browser via ethernet or WiFi to control operations from a laptop or iPhone.
