AJA - Ki Pro® Rack

 

DESCRIPTION:

 

FILE BASED 1RU RECORDER AND PLAYER

 

Ki Pro Rack offers high quality, ‘ready-to-edit’ file capture, designed to get material from source to editorial as quickly as possible.

With a wealth of professional connections, Ki Pro Rack will fit right into your existing cabling and routing system. Ki Pro Rack records Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD files at your choice of quality level direct to removable hard disk or SSD KiStor storage modules, eliminating the need for time consuming logging and capturing.

Utilizing the rollover recording capability with the dual media drive bays, recording can start on one media module and seamlessly continue onto the second module once the first has reached capacity. This makes Ki Pro Rack ideal for long-form recording needs while maintaining incredibly image high quality.

Ki Pro Rack’s network connectivity opens up new methods for integrating into your facility. The built-in web UI allows centralized setup or remote operation of all Ki Pro units simultaneously. Configure settings, control playback and manage content using any web browser connected to the network. Mounted KiStor drives can be accessed via the web UI, allowing files to be transferred to and from Ki Pro Rack without having to remove the storage media.
