AJA Video Systems has announced the release of Ki Pro Ultra 12G, a new single-channel 4K UHD recorder and player or four-channel HD recorder, featuring 12G-SDI connectivity with what it claims is a host of powerful features.

Ki Pro Ultra 12G offers single-channel 4K UHD up to 50/60p recording and playback to and from Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHR, with flexible connectivity options including 12G-SDI, HDMI v2.0 and optional fibre input and outputs. Alternatively, Ki Pro Ultra 12G provides up to four channels of simultaneous HD recording up to 1080 50/60p with independent ProRes profiles per channel.

Speaking on the announcement, Nick Rashby, president at AJA Video Systems, commented: “Demand for 12G-SDI solutions is soaring as production professionals strive to create more streamlined workflows with enough bandwidth to carry higher fidelity HDR, high frame rate and 4K UHD signals over a single cable.

“Building upon the same framework of the production-proven Ki Pro Ultra Plus, we’ve developed the next-generation Ki Pro Ultra 12G to offer recording and playback of the highest quality video signals with 12G-SDI connectivity to streamline recording and playback – whether on set, in live venues or within a broadcast studio.”
