Power Connector (back of unit)

Ki Pro Installation and Operation Manual — Power Connector (back of unit)
CTRL/TC (FireWire 400)
IEEE 1394a FireWire™ connector for connecting Ki Pro to a camera for
timecode control. This connector does not support connection to hard drives.
Ethernet
An RJ45 connector provides a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port for connecting Ki
Pro directly to a computer or Ethernet hub or switch for connecting to a LAN.
Ki Pro is compatible with CAT-5 straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cables,
automatically detecting which is used. Once connected and properly configured, Ki Pro
can then be controlled by a web browser on the LAN.
LANC Loop
This connector accepts a LANC plug (2.5mm 3-conductor TRS jack) and then
loops it through to a second connector (loop). LANC or Local Application
Control Bus System (sometimes called Control-L) is a Sony protocol for synchronizing
cameras. Available on many brands of cameras, LANC enables accessories like Tripods
with a control handle to control camera and Ki Pro record/stop.
Lens Tap
This connector supports an optional "Lens Tap" kit AJA offers for controlling Ki Pro. A
proprietary AJA cable connects between the camera body and the lens, intercepting
the camera's own interconnecting cable. This allows the Ki Pro transport control
(record/stop) to happen by simply operating the shutter/record button on the camera.
LED Indicator for IEEE 802.11 Radio
This LED shows the status of the internal 802.11 radio used to transmit and receive WiFi
data. When illuminated, the LED shows the radio is ON.
On the back of Ki Pro is a standard 4-pin male XLR connector for
supplying 12-Volt DC power to the unit. You can use either the supplied
AC Adapter or furnish your own battery source. Since the connector is
an industry standard pinout, choices are varied and flexible. Many 3rd-
party vendors offer products using this standardized power connector.
Warning:
Ki Pro has no user-serviceable parts. An internal fuse protects the circuitry;
however, it can only be replaced by AJA service centers or AJA dealers. To remove power
from the unit, remove power from the 4-pin XLR power connector to ensure
disconnection.
