This connector accepts a LANC plug (2.5mm 3-conductor TRS jack) and then
loops it through to a second connector (loop). LANC or Local Application
Control Bus System (sometimes called Control-L) is a Sony protocol for
synchronizing cameras. Available on many brands of cameras, LANC enables
accessories to control camera and Ki Pro record/stop functions.
This connector supports an optional "Lens Tap" kit AJA offers for controlling Ki Pro. A
proprietary AJA cable connects between the camera body and the lens, intercepting the
camera's own interconnecting cable. This enables Ki Pro transport control (record/stop)
by simply operating the shutter/record button on the camera. Lens tap is not supported in
versions 1.0–3.1, but may be supported by a future version.
This LED shows the status of the internal 802.11 radio used to transmit and receive
data. When illuminated, the LED shows the radio is ON.
On the back of Ki Pro is a standard 4-pin male XLR connector for
supplying 12-Volt DC power to the unit. You can use either the supplied
AC Adapter or furnish your own battery source. Since the connector is
an industry standard pinout, choices are varied and flexible. Many 3rd
party vendors offer products using this standardized power connector.

Record hours of media to a portable removable hard-drive storage module with built-in
FireWire 800, or to flash-based ExpressCard/34 cards (only Slot 1 is enabled). Both media
types mount on your OSX desktop for immediate editing and file access. Ki Pro ships with
a 250GB hard disk that can store up to 2 hours of 1080i Apple Pro Res 422 HQ media or 3
hours of standard 1080i Apple Pro Res 422 (more for standard definition).
Caution!
Failure to properly mount or dismount media, or an unexpected loss of power while
recording, can result in an unrecoverable data loss.
Although AJA doesn't manufacture or sell ExpressCard/34 memory cards, Ki Pro accepts
qualified ExpressCard media beginning with firmware version 3.0 (only Slot 1 is enabled).
