It is very expensive to hire video recorders to capture from tape on hourly basis when shooting on HD. The Aja Ki pro is used along with cameras like Sony F-3, F-35 to stamp time code on tape and on the Aja hard drive, which is a tape less medium, which takes in the same time code as the tape which used for offline editing to save time and money to capture and also saves hard disk space. The Aja ki pro therefore acts as modern day video assist.

The Aja ki pro video has a lower video quality when compared to the tapes because the video is recorded from monitor SDI out cable and through BNC cables, which carries out the digital signals to Aja Ki Pro with time codes. Hence we only make the offline cuts on final cut pro or avid with apple pro res 422 HQ format or lower resolution format. If you plan to record on higher quality or even SQ which can be later connected via Edl’s or xml files in the lab for conforming and color correction on software’s like Nukoda,Resolve or Auto desk Smoke. Even Apple color can be used to connect with raw data or original clips.
The ‘Aja ki Pro’ contains the same time code as the tape. But due to some reasons if they don’t match then it becomes a problem.
This can occur if during filming you unplug the BNC cable which carries the time code information to the recorder or if you set the wrong tc settings.
Overall Aja key Pro is the best recorder in the market better than Atmos Samurai in my opinion.
