AJA’s Ki Pro GO2 adds four-channel H.265 and H.264 recording
AJA Video Systems unveiled Ki Pro GO2, a multi-channel HD/SD recorder supporting simultaneous H.265 (HEVC) or H.264 (AVC) recording to USB 3.0 drives or network storage. This updated portable device features four 3G-SDI and four HDMI digital video inputs, built-in frame synchronizers, and a web user interface for remote control, designed for various production environments.
Key Takeaways
- Ki Pro GO2 records up to 4 channels simultaneously in H.265 (HEVC) or H.264 (AVC).
- The 2RU recorder includes 4x 3G-SDI inputs, 4x HDMI inputs, 4x 3G-SDI outputs, 1x 3G-SDI monitoring output, and 1x HDMI monitoring output.
- AJA lists 5x USB recording media ports and support for off-the-shelf USB 3.2 Gen 1 media, plus realtime recording to network storage over Ethernet.
- Built-in frame synchronizers remove the need to genlock incoming signals, and each input includes a de-interlacer for interlaced sources.
- Ki Pro GO2 is priced at $4,749 US MSRP and will be available in early Q3.
Why It Matters
Ki Pro GO2 gives production teams a compact way to capture four HD/SD feeds in H.265 or H.264 without depending on genlock, with redundant recording to USB drives or network storage. That matters for venues and field workflows where storage cost and file transfer speed are operational constraints. The feature set also fits AJA’s broader recorder and streaming lineup, including Ki Pro and HELO Plus, by extending multi-channel ingest in a portable 2RU form factor. The next concrete signal to watch is early Q3 availability at the $4,749 MSRP, along with whether AJA’s web UI and network-recording workflow show up in customer deployments.
