AJA boosts third-party compatibility of the Ki Pro Go with new version 4.0

The AJA Ki Pro Go H.264 multi-channel recorder Ki Pro Go is updated to version 4.0, which includes a number of important new features.

This free update is notable for its improved support for third-party file playback. It also brings configuration enhancements that help ensure smoother setup and operation in production, post-production and proAV environments.

More specifically, version 4.0 of Ki Pro Go by AJA is based on four axes, beyond the minor fixes that are common in such an update: intuitive playback of . mp4 files from supported third-party applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer and Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve; the ability to configure each device to generate 0, 1, 2, 2, 3 or 4 B-frames individually on each channel to reduce file size; new alarm functionality that makes it easier to remove obsolete alerts once bugs have been fixed; and an updated REST API that enables remote device shutdown.

Nick Rashby, president of AJA, reflects on the latest Ki Pro Go update: “Modern production and proAV environments demand flexibility in the field, especially when recording multiple simultaneous HD and SD video feeds, and we designed Ki Pro GO with this in mind. Ki Pro GO users have expressed a desire to play out H.264 files generated within their NLE applications on Ki Pro GO, which this update enables. Ki Pro GO v4.0 firmware is an extension of our work and continued commitment to helping professionals get the most out of their gear.”
