Reference Loop

Two looping BNCs allow genlock signal input and output connections. If the genlock 
output is unused, it must be terminated using a 75-ohm termination cap. When the 
output connects to downstream equipment, the last piece of equipment in the series 
must be terminated into 75 ohms.

LTC Timecode I/O

Two BNCs provide connections to the house LTC timecode generator or source. 
Connections are high impedance. One BNC is for input and the other for output.

SDI Input and Outputs

Eight BNC connectors (four inputs and four outputs) are provided supporting HD/3G-SDI 
video and embedded 24-bit digital audio. 

HDMI Monitor Out

One HDMI connector provides for monitor output of HDMI compatible video and multi-
channel embedded audio. HDCP is not supported on the output. The HDMI output 
supports standard HDMI cables only.

HDMI Input

One HDMI Input connector provides input of HDMI video and multi-channel 

embedded audio. 

HDCP is not supported on the input.

 

The HDMI input supports 

standard HDMI cables only.

HDMI formats supported:

• 720p 50, 59.94, 60

NOTE: 

When using the Ki Pro Ultra HDMI connection and attaching it to any HDMI audio or video 
accessory, you must use a ferrite-beaded HDMI cable, HH-28F-06, between the HDMI output 
port of the Ki Pro Ultra and the HDMI accessory to maintain regulatory compliance.

Ethernet 

An RJ45 connector provides a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port for connecting Ki Pro Ultra 
directly to a computer or Ethernet hub or switch for connecting to a LAN. Ki Pro Ultra is 
compatible with CAT-5 straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cables, automatically 
detecting which is used. Once connected and properly configured, Ki Pro Ultra can then 
be controlled by a web browser on the LAN.
