Overview
Ki Pro Rack satisfies the broadcast video requirement for a compact, 1 RU
rack-mounted digital video recorder designed for creating "ready-to-edit"
professional digital video files. Supporting a file-based workflow, Ki Pro Rack records
Apple ProRes 422 or Avid DNxHD files on industry-standard media. Features include
analog and digital audio/video I/O and recording to 2x removable SATA storage
modules. When removed, the storage modules function as standard FireWire 800
drives.
With Ki Pro Rack you can acquire video using the same codecs that you use for
editing—Apple ProRes 422 or Avid DNxHD. Ki Pro supporting all four types of Apple
ProRes 422 (including HQ, LT and Proxy) as well as Avid DNxHD 220x, Avid DNxHD 145
and for 1080p formats, Avid DNxHD 36. Ki Pro simplifies the link between production
and post by acquiring on the best codecs for use with Apple Final Cut Pro X or Avid
Media Composer from virtually any SDI or HDMI camera, regardless of format. With its
extensive analog and digital connectivity, virtually any video and audio source can
feed into Ki Pro Rack, and 10-bit realtime up/down/cross conversion, allows you to
record in the format you want to edit and deliver.
Internally, Ki Pro natively supports the Apple ProRes 422 or Avid DNxHD codecs in
hardware, allowing realtime capture directly to QuickTime files. In fact, while the
camera is recording to its own tape or file-based memory, Ki Pro can simultaneously
capture the media as ProRes or DNxHD so it's instantly ready to edit when the
removable storage module is connected to a computer. With this kind of flexibility,
you can save time, steps, and get your project done quicker and with the highest
quality.
