AJA and Avid are pleased to announce Ki Pro compatibility with Avid NLE systems. Through its own Avid Media Access Architecture (AMA), Avid enables users to connect the AJA Ki Pro to Mac-based Media Composer and Symphony systems to instantly view, edit and play back ProRes QuickTime files with access to all clip metadata. With Ki Pro compatibility, Avid Media Composer and Symphony customers will be able to: Record hours of pristine Apple ProRes 422 QuickTime media to a removable storage module with built-in FireWire800 for immediate editing and file access on OS X. Record natively to Apple ProRes 422, ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422 (Proxy) and ProRes 422 (LT) for full raster 10-bit 4:2:2 HD/SD. Bridge proprietary compression schemes by recording to edit-friendly Apple ProRes 422. Connect any digital camera via SDI or HDMI, or any analog camera with multiple input options. Convert in real time from SD to HD, or 720 to/from 1080, in full 10-bit quality. Extend client review capabilities with simultaneous recording to camera and Ki Pro
Leverage new capabilities planned for summer 2010 including support for 8-channel embedded SDI audio, gang recording with multiple Ki Pro devices via web-based UI and RS 422 device control. v2.0 firmware is also being demonstrated at the AJA NAB booth adding workflow features for all Ki Pro users.
Ki Pro version 2.0 will include:
– Support for 8-channel embedded audio
– Support for gang recording with multiple Ki Pro units via the web interface
– RS-422 device control

AJA Teams with CineForm to Enable True Stereo 3D Output from Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro Timelines via Neo3D and KONA 3
AJA has collaborated with workflow solution developer CineForm to provide Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere and other Mac and Windows-based NLE and effects software users with a variety of unique ways to output stereoscopic 3D material using the AJA KONA 3 video capture card through CineFormʼs Neo3D software. CineFormʼs Neo3D software delivers a comprehensive 3D editorial workflow, enabling users to create 3D QuickTime or AVI files that include temporally-aligned left and right eyes and edit 3D projects in real time with full frame rate playback to an external 3D monitor. With expanded support for Neo3D software, AJA KONA 3 enables direct play-out of discrete left eye/right eye images and/or a muxed 3D image. After making the appropriate selection in the CineForm Neo3D software, users with 3D-capable LCD monitors or 3D projectors can view stereo content by configuring the KONA 3 for stereo output via the AJA Control Panel application.

> Convert : FiDO Mini Converters
AJA has introduced five new Mini Converter products at NAB 2010; the FiDO family of SDI/Optical Fiber Converters. FiDO (Fiber Digital Optical) is a family of five SDI/Optical Fiber converters that enable the transport of SDI, HD-SDI and 3G SDI over distances of up to 10km. Designed for outdoor or indoor use, FiDO converters pass the complete SDI signal (including audio and/or meta data), and meet all relevant SMPTE specifications. Their low profile enclosure enables use in tight spaces around and behind equipment racks, trucks and crowded facilities.
FiDO models include:
• FiDO-R: Single channel Fiber to SDI Mini Converter with dual SDI outputs
• FiDO-2R: Dual channel Fiber to SDI Mini Converter
• FiDO-T: Single channel SDI to Fiber Mini Converter with looping SDI output
• FiDO-2T: Dual channel SDI to Fiber Mini Converter
• FiDO-TR: SDI/Fiber transceiver Minj Converter
The FiDO Dual channel transmitter and receiver units are extremely unique, providing conversion and transport of two streams of SD, HD, or 3G (in any combination) within one Mini Converter package. This ability provides the highest density and lowest cost per channel, and also allows Stereoscopic 3D infrastructures an inexpensive, compact, and convenient way to move the highest quality HD signals across a facility.

> KUMO Compact Routers and Control Panel, KUMO CP
AJA is demonstrating the new KUMO remote control panel (KUMO CP) at NAB. Available this summer the KUMO CP allows users to control up to 4 KUMO compact routers and up to 16 KUMO Control Panels can be used by a single KUMO router. KUMO compact SDI routers are small and cost-effective, yet robust and reliable. KUMO supports full broadcast specifications over SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G SDI. KUMO routers are re-clocking, non-blocking, and ready for any broadcast, production, or post production environment. Running Embedded Linux, KUMO routers support powerful HTTP control and monitoring. KUMO's internal webserver allows immediate installation, configuration, and operation without any software to buy or install, instead serving up complete UI controls via any standard web-browser.
