Connector Side
Connections
The connector side of Ki Pro Rack contains the available audio/video connections.
Connect any camcorder, camera, or audio source—digital or analog—regardless of
brand or format, to Ki Pro Rack's many connectors. On the back side of the unit, two
AC line cords provide redundant 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz power to the dual power
connectors (see Installation later in this chapter).
The function of Ki Pro's inputs and outputs depend on the operational mode. Ki Pro's
active input (the one to be recorded) is selected by the front panel or web browser
interface. Ki Pro's outputs are active all the time. In other words, the same output
video appears simultaneously on the HDMI, SDI, component, and composite outputs.
This method of operation allows simultaneous connection to source devices, onset
monitoring displays, and audio equipment. (Note: You should be aware of the
limitations of each output. The composite output is by definition an SD signal, so it
will not output HD. The HDMI output is by definition an HDMI-compatible signal, so
1080PsF formats cannot be output via HDMI; instead use a true progressive format for
the HDMI output.)

• Analog Audio 2-channel balanced input and output (4x XLR)
Ethernet
An RJ45 connector provides a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port for connecting Ki
Pro directly to a computer or Ethernet hub or switch for connecting to a LAN.
Ki Pro is compatible with CAT-5 straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cables,
automatically detecting which is used. Once connected and properly configured, Ki
Pro can then be controlled by a web browser on the LAN.
