AJA introduced the Ki Pro Ultra, a ProRes-based 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD player/recorder that s capable of capturing 4K video at frame rates up to 60p.

AJA product marketing manager Bryce Button says that sports is driving the demand for 60p recording and playback in the US and Japan, with Europe opting for 50p. The new Ki Pro Ultra is now shipping and occupies a half-width rack space and a height of 2 RU. The unit weighs just under 6lbs. and features a 4.8-inch HD display.

Two Pak SSD media slots allow for the use of two 1TB drives that, when combined, can capture up to two hours of 4K/60p footage. That figure jumps to 13 hours of recording when working at HD resolutions.

The Ki Pro Ultra features menu specific buttons and a rotary selection click-knob for menu selecting. Transport control is made possible through dedicated buttons. On the back, the Ki Pro Ultra features HDMI 2.0 compatible I/O, four SDI I/Os, and dual power options for redundancy. An SDI monitor port allows for HD down conversion to a monitor for on-set work. A LAN port allows for Web UI control, and LTC I/O is also offered.

The following ProRes formats are supported: 4K 4096x2160; Ultra HD 3840x2160; 2K 2048x1080; HD 1920x1080 and HD 1280x720.

AJA s KPU shelf option allows users to remove the Ki Pro Ultra s handle grip for installation into a rack. Pak media that s currently available includes 1TB, 512GB and 256GB drives. AJA is also introducing the Pak-Adapt-CFast media adapter, which looks like Pak media drive and allows customers with existing CFast cards to use them with AJA s KiPro Quad and Ki Pro Ultra.
