With the upcoming Key Pro Quad, AJA is enabling 4K workflows that allow capture directly off 4K cameras to Apple ProRes files at full resolution. 4K ProRes files require less bandwidth and storage space than uncompressed or RAW files but still maintain 4:4:4 image quality.

Key Pro Quad also supports on-set monitoring needs with full resolution 4K/QuadHD output as well as simultaneously scaling down to 2K/HD SDI and HDMI outputs for more cost-effective monitoring throughout your production.

And if your production requires RAW recording, Key Pro Quad can handle that too, by passing incoming RAW camera data over a high-speed Thunderbolt™ connection to a properly-equipped computer and storage device for processing. With support for 4K, QuadHD, 2K and HD, all at 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 bit depths, you can get the benefits of Key Pro Quad on your current 2K and HD projects and easily switch the same device to 4K or QuadHD projects when they come along.
