Host (FireWire 800)

IEEE 1394b FireWire connector allows for data transfer to or from an Apple
FireWire 800 equipped computer. This connector does not support connection to any
other FireWire devices such as cameras or hard drives.

CTRL/TC (FireWire 400)

IEEE 1394a FireWire™ connector for connecting Ki Pro to a camera for
timecode control. This connector does not support data transfer of
compressed audio/video signals nor does it support connection to hard drives.

Ethernet

1
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.

LANC Loop

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.

Lens Tap

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.

LED Indicator for IEEE 802.11 Radio

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.
