AJA Ki Pro GO2

The AJA Ki Pro GO2 is a professional multi-channel H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 recorder designed for live production, event recording, education, houses of worship, corporate AV, and broadcast applications. Capable of simultaneously recording up to four independent HD or SD video sources, the Ki Pro GO2 combines flexible HDMI and 3G-SDI connectivity with reliable USB and network-based recording. Built-in frame synchronizers eliminate the need for genlocked sources, allowing cameras, switchers, and other video devices to be connected with minimal setup. The recorder creates industry-standard MP4 files that are immediately ready for editing, archiving, streaming, or distribution.

Supporting four 3G-SDI inputs, four HDMI inputs, balanced XLR analog audio, and embedded audio, the Ki Pro GO2 provides exceptional flexibility for multi-camera productions. Recordings can be saved to up to five USB drives, network-attached storage (NAS), or both simultaneously for redundant backup and increased workflow security. Independent quality settings, user-selectable H.265 or H.264 compression, and variable bitrate recording allow users to optimize file size and image quality for virtually any production or delivery requirement.

Designed for dependable operation in demanding production environments, the Ki Pro GO2 features an intuitive front-panel interface with a high-resolution LCD display, dedicated transport controls, and a browser-based web interface for remote configuration, monitoring, and file management. HDMI and SDI multiview monitoring provide convenient display of up to four video channels on a single monitor, while on-screen overlays show timecode, audio levels, recording status, and remaining media capacity.

Whether used for live events, conference recording, sports, concerts, government meetings, or multi-camera productions, the AJA Ki Pro GO2 delivers a reliable, easy-to-deploy recording solution that simplifies media management while providing the redundancy, flexibility, and professional performance required for mission-critical video workflows.
