GRASS VALLEY, CA — AJA Video Systems (www.aja.com) is now shipping the Ki Pro Ultra Plus, its new multi-channel recorder that offers one, two, three or four-channel simultaneous HD recording up to 1080 50/60p, or in single-channel mode, 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD recording and playback, with full HDMI 2.0 input and output.
Unveiled back in April at the NAB show in Las Vegas, the Ki Pro Ultra Plus captures 4K/UltraHD and HD video to standard production codecs, including Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD MXF. Housed in a portable 2RU half-rack, it also offers extensive I/O flexibility and a range of connectivity options, from 3G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 and fiber.
Users can record four channels of HD simultaneously as ProRes files, each with different compression profiles, to AJA Pak 1000, 512 or 256 SSD media, with eSATA options also available. Additionally, the channels can be displayed on Ki Pro Ultra Plus’ LCD screen as a quad-split during capture for confidence monitoring, which can also be output over HDMI, SDI, fiber, and the device’s web-based UI.
Ki Pro Ultra Plus is available now through AJA’s worldwide reseller network for an MSRP of $3,995. AJA Pak SSD media is available as for $495 (Pak256), $995 (Pak512) and $1,495 (Pak1000).
