Ki Pro Ultra Plus is a Multi-Channel Apple ProRes recorder offering up to 4-
Channels of simultaneous HD recording, or in Single-Channel mode a 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD
Apple ProRes® or Avid DNxHD® MXF recorder and player supporting the latest
connectivity including 3G-SDI, Fiber and HDMI 2.0, as well as large raster high
frame rate workflows, including 4K 60p.
Designed to be both portable with a built-in carry handle or rackmountable with
half rack wide 2RU high dimensions, Ki Pro Ultra Plus suits a wide range of
production and post environments.
Multi-Channel HD Recording
Record 1, 2, 3 or 4-Channels of beautiful HD up to 1080p 50/60 in Apple ProRes
simultaneously with Ki Pro Ultra Plus.
Simplify your multi-camera productions by running up to four cameras per Ki Pro
Ultra Plus and save power, space, time and effort on set,
in the studio and when setting up OB trucks.
Ki Pro Ultra Plus even allows independent profile support per channel in Multi-
Channel mode; select high resolution Apple ProRes HQ for high quality finishing and
use a second input to record Apple ProRes (Proxy) for an efficient editing
pipeline.
Starting with input 1, add channels as needed in order when utilizing like
raster size and frame rate, and record your HD Apple ProRes files on the same AJA
Pak1000 media. Ki Pro Ultra Plus even allows rollover to a second Pak1000 for hours
of uninterrupted multi-channel recording.
Ki Protect
Ki Pro Ultra Plus includes Ki Protect, a feature that helps to ensure data
integrity if a media drive is accidentally removed or loses power during recording.
The Ki Protect feature automatically pre-allocates recording space on the media
drive for video, audio and timecode when the record button is pressed.
While recording, the file header is then continuously updated every time new data
is written. That way, the only loss that should be incurred is the last few frames
that were in transit to the media drive to be recorded when the operation was
interrupted. Frames that are already recorded will be preserved and are recoverable,
providing greater peace-of-mind on set and in the studo, essential for multi-channel
recording.

way up to 4:4:4 12-bit RGB, perfect for rich color capture from affordable HDMI
