AJA B-Ware Ki Pro Ultra 12G demo-yksikkö

Recording 4K/UltraHD video with high-quality codecs often requires bulky, complex systems that are difficult to transport and operate. The AJA Ki Pro Ultra 12G solves this by offering a compact, half-rack 1RU recorder/player that handles 4K/UltraHD and multi-channel HD with the same reliability as larger studio decks.

Who is it for

This unit is ideal for broadcast professionals, live event producers, and post-production facilities that need a portable yet powerful recording solution. It suits operators who require simultaneous multi-camera HD recording or single-channel 4K capture with ProRes or DNxHR codecs, all in a rugged form factor that fits in a standard rack or flight case.

Tips

For multi-camera HD productions, use the four 12G-SDI inputs to record isolated feeds while the HDMI output provides a program monitor. When shooting 4K HDR, ensure your source is set to Rec.2020 and select ProRes 4444 XQ for maximum color fidelity. The dual power inputs allow seamless failover—connect both to separate UPS units for uninterrupted recording during power fluctuations.
