Using Ki Pro Media
in Final Cut Pro
Ki Pro v3.2
Since cards have to be fast enough to sustain throughput without dropping frames, not
all ExpressCard/34 cards will qualify for Ki Pro usage. Also note that some supported
ExpressCard/34 memory cards have a PCIe connector on one end and a USB connector
on the other end. Only the PCIe connector is functional on such cards when they are used
with Ki Pro; do not connect the USB connector to any device while the card is inserted in
the Ki Pro.
Visit the Ki Pro support page on our website for a list of AJA-qualified cards:

Although the Ki Pro comes standard with a removable 250GB HDD Storage Module, an
optional SSD Storage Module is also available. The Ki Pro Solid State Storage Module
(SSD) is recommended for mobile environments where shock-proof sturdiness may be
needed. The Ki Pro SSD Storage Module offers the ultimate in media reliability.
You may also choose to purchase extra HDD or SSD Storage Modules so you can quickly
load and unload media from the Ki Pro unit while on set.
Storage Modules can be powered via the FireWire 800 cable, or via an AC adapter
(supplied).
Check with your AJA dealer or the AJA website for Storage Module offerings as capacities
and models may change.

7. Press the STOP button to begin using the newly formatted media.
When a Ki Pro storage module (HDD or SSD) is removed and connected to a Mac via a
FireWire 800 cable, the module will mount as a normal Apple HFS+ filesystem. The REEL
NAME parameter is the name of the media that will appear mounted on the OSX
desktop.
