Connector Side

Connections

Connect any camcorder, camera, or audio source—digital or analog—regardless of
brand or format, to Ki Pro's many connectors. The connector side of Ki Pro contains
the available audio/video connections, which are protected by handles that extend
past the connectors. These handles make for an easy grip when inserting or removing
the Ki Pro from the optional Exo-skeleton. On the back side of the unit, a single power
connector supplies the 12-Volt DC operating voltage (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 front panel, web browser, or
wireless device browser. 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. (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.) This
method of operation allows simultaneous connection to source devices, onset
monitoring displays, and audio equipment.
