AJA Video Systems has shipped Ki Pro GO, a standalone, multi-channel H.264 redundant recorder capable of capturing up to four simultaneous HD or SD channels to off-the-shelf USB media.
Portable and genlock free, Ki Pro GO “is the ideal workflow solution for live production scenarios including live events, concerts, sports stadiums, corporate, medical, on-set, and beyond,” according to the AJA press release.
“Ki Pro GO is the next generation of AJA’s Ki Pro family of production-proven, file-based recording and playback devices, combining intuitive design and flexibility into a compact 2RU, half-rack width form factor,” according to the company announcement.
Genlock-free recording “eliminates the need to synchronize four input sources, while redundant recording provides multiple backups in the field to protect the recorded video,” according to the AJA announcement.
