AJA Pak Dock

The AJA Pak Dock option is an external media reader with Thunderbolt™ and USB
3.0 connections for fast transfer of media to a host computer.

AJA Fiber Modules

Fully integrated fiber inputs and outputs means Ki Pro Ultra 12G can be
integrated directly to a dedicated fiber network alongside many other fiber
products.

select compatible SFP modules.

KPU-Shelf

Ki Pro Ultra 12G can be mounted side by side using the optional KPU-Shelf for
rackmount applications. Using the four channel HD recording capability and
front panel quad display, two rack mounted Ki Pro Ultra 12G units can record and
monitor eight HD signals in only two rack units of space.

Apple ProRes 422 and Apple ProRes 444 Advantages

Captured media using Apple ProRes 422 or Apple ProRes 444 is virtually
indistinguishable from uncompressed HD/2K/4K sources. Better yet, Apple ProRes
maintains the quality during editing, surviving multiple encoding/decoding
generations without degradation. It was designed by Apple specifically for
editing. Some of the advantages include:
• Resolution support for 4096-by-2160 (4K), 3840-by-2160 (UltraHD), 2048-by-
1080 (2K), 1920-by-1080 (HD), and 1280-by-720 (HD).
• 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 chroma sampling. Provides precise compositing and blending at
sharp saturated-color boundaries.
• 10/12-bit sample depth. Preserves subtle gradients of 10/12-bit sources
(perfect for green-screen compositing, graphics or color correction) with no
visible banding artifacts.
• Intra-frame encoding. Ensures consistent quality in every frame and no
artifacts from complex motion.
• Variable bit-rate (VBR) encoding. "Smart" encoding analyzes the image and
allocates more bits to complex frames.
• Low data rate requirements make for more storage options and require less
drive space to store high quality video.
Ki Pro Ultra 12G File Based Recorder/Player v1.0
media support recording all formats and frame rates up to and including 4K/
UltraHD 50, 59.94,60 at ProRes 422 (HQ). Legacy Pak 256 (R0) and Pak 512 (R0)
media have slightly lower capabilities, and are able to record up to 4K/UltraHD
30.
