    When using Ki Pro Rack, you’ll make media cable connections to a variety of equipment based on how the system is being used. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss Ki Pro Rack configurations, options, indicators, controls, and connections so you’ll have a working knowledge of how it can be used to tie together the worlds of acquiring media (production) and post-production.

Once a Ki Pro storage device is mounted, each clip recorded by Ki Pro Rack will be a file on its file system that can be opened in Final Cut Pro. Because the clips were recorded as Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), Apple ProRes 422 (LT), or Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) with proper Final Cut Pro metadata, they’re instantly ready to edit.
