System Description http://www.aja.com  AJA rental products

The AJA Ki-PRO is a recording device designed to streamline post production workflow by simplifying video acquisition. The unit features both SDI and HDMI inputs, making it compatible with most pro consumer and professional cameras. The KiPRO takes advantage of Apple's ProRes technology for a seamless transition from "lens to post". The device records to high-capacity drives from a wide variety of cameras and will accept either the 500gb or 250gb drive for large or larger recording capacity and flexibility.

Ki-PRO is portable and rugged; designed for real production environments. With the optional exo-skeleton it can sit below your camera-out of the way of your battery adapters, wireless mics and other accessories. Integration with your other production gear is seamless.

Ki-PRO is intuitive to operate. Alongside the camera, the familiar VTR-like buttons provide immediate controls for basic operation. From a distance, use a web browser via ethernet or WiFi to control operations from a laptop or iPhone.
