Ki Pro GO File Based Recorder/Player v1.0 19 www.aja.com
Ki Pro GO is a low-wattage device so many batteries can power it for several
hours at a time. Ki Pro GO displays a “Low Battery” warning prompt to help you
stop recording before battery failure. We also recommend the use of batteries
with metering or remaining power indications. Two batteries can be used for
redundancy, which can be swapped for power of unlimited duration, only limited
by the number of charged batteries on hand.
Remote Network Control
Ki Pro GO can be controlled by a computer using a single CAT Ethernet cable
(straight or cross-over), or by using an Ethernet 10/100/1000 local area network
(LAN) connection to Ki Pro GO's Ethernet RJ-45 connector.
An optimized web server running on Ki Pro GO allows you to remotely monitor
and adjust parameter settings via a browser client running on a connected
computer.
NOTE: Exposing Ki Pro GO on a broadband WAN is not generally recommended since
anyone on the Internet could potentially access Ki Pro GO.
The LAN connection on Ki Pro GO is internally intelligent and communicates
via standard “straight-through” CAT Ethernet cables or null-modem (cross-over)
cables without any configuration or strapping required.
Direct Connection
Because Ki Pro GO ships configured by default for DHCP operation, you may be
able to control it by simply connecting it to a Mac or PC using one RJ-45 cable.
The computer then can recognize the Ki Pro GO and assign it a compatible IP
address.
