DNF Controls – the award-winning and acknowledged leader

The ST600-KIPRO, an Ethernet-based, tactile control panel, delivers full-featured IP-based functionality to the newest Ki Pro, just as it does for all the other models in the series. Both the Ki Pro Ultra Plus and the ST600-KIPRO are currently shipping.

“The DNF ST600-KIPRO provides an elevated measure of control and flexibility for Ki Pro users," explained Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video Systems. “The unit can control up to 4 Ki Pro Ultra Plus units simultaneously, and offers users the ability to view the entire clip list and enter new clip names. And of course, as customers transition to an all IP facility, the ST600-KIPRO replaces their serial cables with an Ethernet connection.”

The Ki Pro Ultra Plus enables simultaneous 1, 2, 3 or 4-channel HD recording up to 1080 50/60p, 4K and UHD play and record support, and full HDMI 2.0 (up to 12-bit capture and output). It supports all the latest pathways to connectivity, including 3G-SDI, fiber and HDMI 2.0, as well as large raster high frame rate workflows, including 4K 60p.
