Ki Pro Go 2
4-channel h.264 (AVC) / h.265 (HEVC) recorder
Ki Pro Go 2
Ki Pro GO2 is a portable multi-channel H.265 (HEVC)* and H.264 (AVC) recorder offering up to 4-channels of simultaneous HD or SD recording to qualified USB drives and/or network storage with redundant recording capabilities.
4x 3G-SDI and 4x HDMI digital video inputs with flexible channel assignments provide connections to a wide range of video sources, including any 3G-SDI signal from a router for example, professional and prosumer cameras and DSLRs. Incoming video sources do not have to be genlocked due to Ki Pro GO2’s input frame synchronizers. Ki Pro GO2 also features AJA’s high quality de-interlacers on each input so progressive recordings can be made from interlaced inputs. High quality 2-channel embedded audio or balanced XLR analog audio can be assigned to any recording channel. Multi-Channel Matrix Monitoring enables multiple video channels to be viewed on any single HDMI or SDI display, and Enhanced Super Out offers timecode, media status and audio meter overlays over the SDI and HDMI monitor outputs.
Designed to be either portable or rackmountable with half rack wide, 2RU high dimensions, Ki Pro GO2 is well suited for use in any production environment be it a global concert tour or your local house of worship.

Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus
h.264/ProRes video recorder to SD Card
Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus
Blackmagic Design’s Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus is a compact video file recorder with an extended feature set. With h.264, ProRes, and DNx formats available for recording, you can choose between file size and fidelity to match your postproduction workflow. Two high speed UHS-II SD Card slots allow extended roll-over recording on the front, or choose to record to a high capacity drive using the rear USB-C port. Files can be quickly dumped from the SD Cards with the included UHS-II to USB-C high speed dock, or clips can be pulled off the unit over network using FTP.
Hybrid events can use the Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus for double duty, recording on SD Card while capturing the video by USB-C as a 1080p webcam input to a video call. Quickly monitor the audio using the front panel speaker, or listen carefully via the front panel headphone jack. The SDI Monitoring output can also provide overlays including audio level, recording time remaining and drive status, and more.
Hyperdeck Studio HD Plus can also be used in a video file playback role, controlled from the front panel or by network. ProRes 4444 files with Alpha channel can be played as Key and Fill from the 2 6G-SDI output connectors. There is tight integration for playback when used with ATEM switchers.
Genlock Sync and Timecode can be provided to the Hyperdeck in Multicam environments, or choose to follow the input timing (for genlock) and time of day for timecode. If internally generated, this timecode is provided on the LTC Timecode output, so one unit can be used to provide timecode to the others if a master timecode device is not on site.
This well-rounded feature set provides a lot of flexibility in the field in a very portable size.

Audio is captured embedded in the SDI and HDMI sources and can also be captured independently via onboard stereo TRS jacks. The Pearl features a 1TB HDD, which stores approximately 300 hours of HD recordings.
With the Pearl you can record your videos while simultaneously outputting up to four 1080p streams at 30 fps, or two 1080p streams at 60 fps. You can also output a single Ultra HD 4K (3840 x 2160) stream at lower frame rates.
The multi-featured front panel touchscreen display can be used for live switching, confidence monitoring, quick configuration, system information, recording control, and streaming control. It can also display a VU meter with quasi-peak metering.

Multi-channel Switching Streamer, Encoder, Decoder, Recorder w/512GB SSD
Epiphan Pearl Mini
Small in size, big on pro features; Epiphan Pearl Mini is an easy to use yet powerful platform to switch, record, and stream. The generous 7” Touchscreen display provides a live confidence view for monitoring and managing multiple stream channels and switching layouts.
Pearl Mini has the power to master and stream multiple channels at once. Complex layouts can include multiple video sources together in a Program feed, including physical SDI/HDMI inputs and network stream sources by RTSP or SRT, together with text and images. Use any of the embedded, XLR/TRS, 3.5mm, and RCA audio with individual level and delay controls. These saved layouts are available for live switching for a polished, professional result.
Outbound stream protocols include RTMP(S), SRT, RTSP, MPEG-TS, RTP/UDP, HLS, and DASH which covers all major social media, video conferencing, and content services. Direct CMS integration is also available for Kaltura, Panopto and YuJa.
Low latency, High quality SRT streaming enables secure and reliable point-to-point links over local and public networks (the internet), and the SRT Rendezvous system as found in the Pearl series even simplifies connecting through unknown firewall systems found on site. This enables the Pearl Mini to quickly send to or receive from another Pearl unit for multi-site events. SRT is also integrated into other products such as the Panasonic AW-UE100 and UE150 4K PTZ cameras and AG-CX350 4K Camcorder, enabling the Pearl Mini to receive SRT over network directly from those cameras.
Our Pearl Mini units include an internal 512gb SSD drive to ensure recording is always available. After recording, files can be set for automatic upload to USB or individually transferred, or the Pearl can be set to send recordings directly to network storage as they are completed.

This disables the front SD Card port but eliminates the need to use the EXT4 file system that is not natively recognized in Windows or macOS. After recording, files can be set for automatic upload to USB or individually transferred, or the Nano can be set to send recordings directly to network storage.

13″ Apple M1 MacBook Pro w/Retina Display
8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16GB, 512GB SSD
13″ Apple M1 MacBook Pro w/Retina Display
A new era in MacBook performance begins with the Apple Silicon M1 processor at the heart of this MacBook Pro 13”. This refined and unified architecture provides the 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine System on Chip (SoC) with 16GB of Unified Memory, and provides a noticeable leap forward in both power and efficiency.
A departure from the x86-64 legacy Intel processor, the Apple Silicon M1 is a built on ARM64 architecture that has matured to be both powerful and efficient in mobile use. With the launch of the new M1 MacBook Pro, this processor is performing above expectations for native OS X applications, and even most existing 64-bit apps meet or exceed the performance on previous models, working nearly seamlessly through the Rosetta 2.
The 13” Retina WQXGA display (2560×1600, 500 nits) has advanced multichannel sensors to adjust the color and intensity of your display via True Tone technology. Hardware acceleration of h.264 and HEVC (h.265) 8-bit and 10-bit speeds encoding and decoding in real time.
Battery power is way up on the new M1, with up to 17 hours of web browsing available on the 58.2 watt-hour battery. Heat, on the other hand, is way down – although the M1 MacBook Pro is equipped with a fan you will seldom hear it turn on to cool the efficient processor, and the keyboard will remain cool to the touch.
The MacBook 13” includes an improved, integrated 720p FaceTime HD webcam and a studio-quality three-mic array for voice, and a new backlit Magic keyboard with an integrated “Touch Bar” touch-sensitive control that adapts for different applications and provides Touch ID login support in lieu of traditional function keys, and a gigantic “Force Touch” trackpad.
Next generation connectivity includes 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, two Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 ports (USB-C connector), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
