New 16-channel embedded audio on SDI will expand audio choices and compatibility. Embedded Closed Captioning will allow recording and playback of CC data, and two sample interleave (SMPTE 2SI) I/O support for 4K/Ultra HD will offer greater compatibility with third-party displays, switchers and more.

Ki Pro Ultra v1.2 Firmware Features:

-- ExFAT file system support enables use of Ki Pro Ultra media on PC or Linux systems without requiring third-party software. -- Expanded audio flexibility with 16-channel embedded SDI audio support. -- Closed Caption support in compliance with FCC and SMPTE standards. -- SMPTE 2SI I/O support, extending compatibility with 4K/UltraHD displays and devices.

AJA's new Pak-Adapt-eSATA will have the same form factor as AJA's Pak storage modules, with a standard eSATA cable connector offering a flexible media alternative for Ki Pro Ultra and Ki Pro Quad. This new option will allow Ki Pro Ultra and Ki Pro Quad users to utilize eSATA media and eSATA RAIDs.

Announcing another free firmware update for Ki Pro Ultra so soon after its release is another step underscoring our commitment to deliver future-proof products that serve our customers' needs today and into the future, said Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video Systems.
