Memory Cards
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.
Pin 1: -
Pin 4: +
Pins 2 and 3: not used
Warning!
Ki Pro has no user-serviceable parts. To remove power from the unit, remove the
4-pin XLR power connector to ensure disconnection. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the device has been exposed
to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Warning!
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Warning!
Since the Mains plug is used as the disconnection for the device, it must remain
readily accessible and operable.
Warning!
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the device.
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). AJA will post on the Ki Pro support web page which brands AJA has tested
and found to work acceptably. 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
