Records to CF compact flash cards (dual slots), ready for editing in Final Cut Pro. Best to use high quality fast cards such as SanDisk Extreme Pro, first formatted on a Mac computer, for maximum compatibility.

The AJA KI-STOR500-R0 is a 500GB HDD storage module designed for the AJA Ki Pro and AJA Ki Pro Rack recorders. This KiStor has a FireWire 800 (FW800) output. If you use a KiStor Dock, you can then also gain USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt connections. This is most often used with Mac computers due to HFS+ formatting on compatible drives. But it can be used with Windows computers too with a third party HFS+ support application installed.

This is unusual in that it has been upgraded to a 1TB capacity. So it is more similar in function to a KISTOR1TBUSB-RO or KI-STOR1000-USB. The only difference is that although it has double the capacity of the 500GB model, it is still encased in the same shell as the 500GB model. So it only has Firewire 800 output natively. To get USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt connectivity, you would need to utilize the AJA KiStor Dock.

The SRW-5800 is the top-of-the-line most recent HDCAM SR VTR - a master format for movies, commercial productions, high-end TV, archiving, HD broadcast, etc. This is the only SR recorder that can work with 880 Mb/s high data bit rate and 1080/60P and 50P recording (unlike the SRW-5500). This records in HDCAM SR only (not HDCAM). The HDCAM SR format uses MPEG-4 Studio Profile with visually lossless compression. Powerful error-correcting technology and high-peformance heads with auto tracking technique allows for very reliable recording and playback. The SRW-5800/1 is capable of recording uncompressed audio, which makes it a vital tool for high-end audio archiving while being able to record non-audio data such as metadata information. 12-channel audio signal is recorded in 48-kHz 24-bit format. 1080 formats include 59.94i, 60i, 50i, 23.98PsF, 24PsF, 25PsF, 29.97PsF, 30PsF. Also has 720/59.94P and 50P. Additional features noiseless playback at variable speeds, confidence heads, advanced time code features with time code input/output, independent audio level control, tele-file memory label system, capstan override function, remote control operation, frame accurate assembly/insert editing, digital jog sound, signal generators, fine tuning of almost any parameter you can think of, and much much more.

The included HKSR-5803HQ option board makes the full power of this unit shine with its 880Mbps bit rate. Allows 4:4:4 full bandwidth signals in SQ (440Mbps BRR 4:1) and HQ (880Mbps BRR 2:1). Can do 60P and 50P at 4:2:2. Playback is now possible of 3D tapes record by SRW-5800 or SRW-1. Further allows 2x transfer to a specific server over HD-SDI dual link. Note this is dual-link compatible (3G-SDI is not available because this is the original SRW-5800 deck installed in it, not the SRW-5800/1). Meets the demands of high profile video studios, compositing suites, and digital mobile units. Ideal for purposes such as chroma keying, due to the massive amount of color information provided through its data stream. 4:4:4 footage is much easier to color correct during post.

This also has the HKSR-5802 HDCAM and digibeta playback option board installed. Can upconvert from digibeta to HD-SDI. HDCAM formats supported include 23.98P, 24P, 25P, 29.97P, 30PsF, 50i, 60i, 59.94i. If you have HDCAM and/or Digibeta tapes to play, you can use this SRW-5800 without the need for a seperate HDCAM and Digibeta deck!

Lastly this has the HKSR-5001 format converter option. Allows the deck to convert HDCAM and HDCAM SR to a wide variety of frame rates, resolutions, and color bit rates. Change HDCAM SR full color sources to 4:2:2 compressed HDCAM as well as convert 1080i to 720P cross conversion. 4:4:4 to 4:2:2 and 2-3 pull-down conversion capability. Adds tremendous versatility to your SRW series deck.
