AJA - Ki Pro
Overview
When working at DT Engineering I designed AJA's Ki Pro Go an award winning Portable H.264 HD and SD digital video recorder/player; it is the latest of the Ki Pro family. Ki Pro GO’s predecessors are the Ki Pro Ultra & the Ki Pro Ultra Plus, when designing the Ki Pro GO it was important to retain AJA’s styling and looks while at the same time creating a new product which will fit into the previous lineage. In turn I made subtle upgrades to the exterior while adding new critical features which make it stand out from today’s video transfer products.
