AJA ships Ki Pro GO multi-channel H.264 recorder

AJA Video Systems has announced the availability of Ki Pro GO, a standalone, multi-channel H.264 redundant recorder capable of capturing up to four simultaneous HD or SD channels to affordable, off-the-shelf USB media. Portable and genlock free, Ki Pro GO is a workflow solution for live production scenarios including live events, concerts, sports stadiums, corporate, medical, on-set, and beyond.

Ki Pro GO is the next generation of AJA’s Ki Pro family of file-based recording and playback devices, featuring a 2RU, half-rack width form factor. Genlock free recording eliminates the need to synchronise four input sources, while redundant recording provides multiple backups in the field to protect the recorded video.
