Re: A couple of questions

[Shaun Gish] "1. Is there a rack mount kit for the KiPro? If not, I'm assuming that the bottom of the unit has a way to mount them to a rack shelf? "

I am sure someone is working on this. I don't think there's one officially from AJA, just the camera mount.

[Shaun Gish] "2. Is there any way to chain KiPros together so that I can use a controller to record or stop record on all 8 decks simultaneously? "

There will be and it can be done in several different ways. Including start/stop on time code, and ethernet/wireless web based control panels.


[Shaun Gish] "3. Is the standard 7200 rpm drive capable of recording ProRes HQ (1080 24p) or do I need the SSD? "

Yes, it will do 1080psf23.98

[Shaun Gish] "4. Can you use the firewire port on the back of the unit to record to an external drive (cheaper alternative to aja's drives) "

No, but AJA drives are pretty cheap consider the cost of any other recording device, including tape. AJA QA's any drive that they send out.

[Shaun Gish] "Anyone else using these as a multicam solution?"

Planning on it, yes.
