Ki Pro Quad v5.2r3
Stand and Adapter
Cable
This stand securely holds the Ki Pro Quad upright on a desk, shelf, or any flat surface. A
right angle power cable is provided for easy connection between the standard Ki Pro
power supply and the Ki Pro Quad.
Rod Accessory Plate
This option provides an accessory plate that can attach to a Mounting Plate (sold
separately) so Ki Pro Quad can be attached to user-supplied 15mm camera accessory
rods. The accessory plate includes knobs for adjusting the height of the rods relative to
the Mounting Plate, as well as a set of knobs for securing the rods in the bracket.
AJA Pak Media
Ki Pro Quad lets you record edit-friendly 4K, 2K, or HD ProRes files directly to removable
AJA Pak Media. Once removed from the Ki Pro Quad, the Pak can be inserted in the AJA
Pak Dock which connects directly to your computer via Thunderbolt or USB 3.0, allowing
you to rapidly transfer ProRes files that are ready for use immediately in your non-linear
editing system.
AJA Pak Options
The Pak256, Pak512, and Pak1000 options are high-capacity Solid State Drives encased in
a protective housing with rugged connection engineered to handle the rigors of
repeated use in the field.
AJA Pak-Adapt-
CFast
Pak-Adapt-CFast allows you to use CFast media you provide with Ki Pro Quad. Simply
insert the CFast card and once the green LED is lit, your media is mounted and can be
formatted. Formatting CFast media may take up to 60 seconds to complete. You're then
able to record direct to your media. Pak-Adapt-CFast requires qualified media to ensure
you get the best results.
For long recording times, AJA recommends Pak512 and Pak1000 media.
Qualified CFast Media
Although most types of CFast media will mount, only qualified media will provide proven
performance. AJA does not prevent the user from using unqualified media and as such
does not recommend the usage of any other media than that listed below. AJA Video
does not take any responsibility for any loss of data by using unqualified media.
For a current listing of all CFast media qualified by AJA, see the

AJA Pak Dock
The AJA Pak Dock option is an external media reader with Thunderbolt™ and USB 3.0
connections for fast transfer of media to a host computer.
Apple ProRes 422 and Apple ProRes 444 Advantages
Captured media using Apple ProRes 422 or Apple ProRes 444 is virtually
indistinguishable from uncompressed HD/2K/4K sources. Better yet, Apple ProRes
maintains the quality during editing, surviving multiple encoding/decoding generations
without degradation. It was designed by Apple specifically for editing. Some of the
advantages include:
• Resolution support for 4096-by-2160 (4K), 3840-by-2160 (Quad HD), 2048-by-1080 (2K),
1920-by-1080 (HD), and 1280-by-720 (HD).
• 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 chroma sampling. Provides precise compositing and blending at sharp
saturated-color boundaries.
