Camera Mounting With Exo-Skeleton - AJA Ki Pro Quick Start Manual

Camera Mounting
with Exo-skeleton
• Recording live house-of-worship services, Ki Pro sits on a shelf receiving a feed
from a wall mounted remote camera and audio feed from the house mixer.
• Recording live music at a remote location, Ki Pro receives video feed from event
producer's switcher and picks up audio from a stereo pair of phantom-powered
condenser microphones.
Ki Pro's applications become even wider, when
you add in the optional Exo-skeleton that
provides for mounting of both a camera and/or
a tripod. Here are some typical workflows and
applications:
• Handheld camcorder with Ki Pro mounted
underneath and a battery pack used for
live sports—recorded media is ready to
edit immediately.
• Broadcast usage with Ki Pro's hardware-
based conversion capability to take
camera's (1080 or 720) input and realtime
convert to another format.
• On-set application: the camera operator
controls shooting via optional LANC
controller and LANC enabled camera—
whenever the LANC controller trigger is
pressed, record start/stop occurs for both
the camera and the Ki Pro. An assistant
remotely names clips and content using an
iPhone communicating with Ki Pro
wirelessly.
• Multi-camera shoot, with different brands
of cameras, different internal camera
codecs, all mounted with Ki Pros and
delivering the same format of media: Apple
Pro Res 422, ready to edit immediately after
filming. No log and capture necessary.
When mounting a camera inside the Exo-
skeleton frame, all Ki Pro controls will face the
same direction as the camera controls, so the
camera operator can easily make adjustments.
Power to Ki Pro exits on the same side as the
camera power supply so cables don't clutter the
lens side of the setup.
