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 12G. Simplify your multi-camera productions by
running up to four cameras per Ki Pro Ultra 12G and save power, space, time and
effort on set, in the studio and when setting up OB trucks.

Ki Protect

Ki Pro Ultra 12G includes Ki Protect, a feature that helps to ensure ProRes 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. Whilst
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 piece-of-mind on set and in the studio.
