Current and past releases of Ki Pro Ultra firmware are available from AJA's website.
To get the firmware, point your browser to:

Access the support page and once you're at the update page, select the
Ki Pro Ultra firmware files for Mac or PC for download.
2. Unpack the Software
Ki Pro Ultra software update files are "ZIP" files, which you can open with a
number of standard and third-party applications. In some cases, these files
may "decompress" automatically, such as when using Safari and Mac OS X. The
firmware image that you'll install on Ki Pro Ultra is a file with a name like Ki
ProUltra_1.0.0.153.bin or similar.
Depending on your PC or Mac operating system settings, the ".bin" extension
may not be visible to you in a file directory.
Uploading and installing the firmware update only requires a PC or Mac that can
"see" the Ki Pro Ultra via its Ethernet connection. To install the firmware:
1. Be sure that you have configured your IP address information so that you
can see Ki Pro Ultra with your web browser.
2. Once you have entered Ki Pro Ultra's IP address, choose the "Update
Firmware" page link on the left side of any Ki Pro Ultra web page.
3. Click the "Browse..." button to select the file you previously downloaded.
For example: Ki ProUltra_1.0.0.153.bin file.
4. When you have selected a valid Ki Pro Ultra .bin image file, click the
"Upload" button in the web browser.
The file you select will upload to Ki Pro Ultra and be tested for validity.
Incomplete, corrupted, or non-Ki Pro Ultra firmware files will be rejected.
5. Agree to the steps and confirmation prompts as they are presented. Wait for
the procedure to complete—it will take only a few minutes.
When done, Ki Pro Ultra will prompt you to restart your machine. After restart,
Ki Pro Ultra will be running the new software. Progress is shown on the front
panel.
6. Once these steps are complete, Ki Pro Ultra will be running the firmware you
just uploaded until the next time you upgrade it.

If there is a power outage or glitch during the firmware download, Ki Pro Ultra will
boot the older software version and the upgrade process can then be re-started.
This happens because Ki Pro Ultra has been designed with a safety feature where
an internal "safe" copy of the previous software is retained in the event the
updating process fails.
