AJA Ki Pro Mini Compact Field Recorder

The AJA Ki Pro Mini Compact Field Recorder by AJA is lightweight, compact and designed to fast track your footage from camera to editorial. This compact Flash based recorder can be easily mount to any SDI/HDMI camera and records 'ready-to-edit' files in Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD formats.

The Ki Pro Mini speeds your footage from camera to editorial, connecting to virtually any SD or HD camera and capturing files in Apple ProRes 422 and Avid DNxHD formats at your choice of quality level, direct to removable CompactFlash media.

Lightweight and rugged, Ki Pro Mini is designed for a life in the field. The Mini Mounting Plate attaches to the sides of the Ki Pro Mini and provides almost endless mounting possibilities when used in combination with battery plates, hot shoe mounts, articulated arms and more.

Ki Pro Mini works equally well whether your gear uses SDI or HDMI or a combination of both. The SDI and HDMI outputs are always both active, making the Ki Pro Mini not just a recorder but a useful converter as well. Two XLR analog audio inputs allows on set analog audio to be recorded directly into the ProRes or DNxHD files, meaning less work in the edit to synchronize audio and video from separate sources.

Ki Pro Mini vastly extends on set capabilities for smaller productions and fast-moving shoots. For rapid playback, recorded shots can now be viewed immediately without the need for separate video assist equipment. If you’re using a mobile editing system, footage from Ki Pro Mini can be edited while you’re still on the set, letting you make sure you have the right shots before moving on.

Once connected to a camera, Ki Pro Mini requires minimal direct user interaction. Record start/stop operation can be triggered automatically by detecting information in the SDI signal or by using a separate LANC control on properly equipped cameras. Ethernet connectivity of Ki Pro Mini allows control and configuration to be performed via web browser at distances up to 100 feet. Networking multiple Ki Pro Mini units together, means they can all be controlled from a single interface and locked together for gang recording, status monitoring and playback.
