Ben commented "Targeted at broadcast, live events, house of worship, but pretty much any pro av scenario you can think of, anyone can get used to using it, it's easy, clear and straight forward but also offers many flexible and advanced features.
Recording in H.264 means that you can hand over the files 'as recorded' for review, it's well built and now on his wish list alongside the Ki Pro Ultra 12G that offers 4k ProRes & DNX.
A powerful pair! AJA say this Ki Pro GO is a portable multi-channel H.264 recorder offering up to 4-channels of simultaneous HD and SD recording to off the shelf USB drives with redundant recording capabilities.
4x 3G-SDI and 4x HDMI digital video inputs with flexible channel assignments provides connections to the latest video sources, including cameras and DSLRs. Incoming video sources do not have to be genlocked due to Ki Pro GO's input frame syncs. Ki Pro GO also features AJA's high quality de-interlaces on each input so progressive recordings can be made from interlaced inputs.
High quality 2-channel embedded audio or balanced XLR analog audio can be assigned to any recording channel. Multi-Channel Matrix Monitoring enables multiple video channels to be viewed on any single HDMI or SDI display and Enhanced Super Out with v2.0 firmware offers timecode, media status and audio meter overlays over the SDI and HDMI monitor outputs.
Designed to be either portable or rack mountable with half rack wide, 2RU high dimensions, Ki Pro GO is well suited for use in any environment."
