Update Firmware
Screen

The Update Firmware screen allows you to update your Ki Pro Mini to later versions of
software as they are issued by AJA and posted on the website. When software updates
are released, they often contain new features, improvements, and bulletins that may be
very useful. We suggest checking the website when you have time.

Preparing to Update

Software

Although Ki Pro Mini comes from the factory pre-installed with software, it may not be as
up-to-date as software posted on our AJA website. This topic describes the steps
required to upgrade the software in your Ki Pro Mini.

1. Download the Latest Ki Pro Mini Software

Current and past releases of Ki Pro Mini software are available on the World Wide
Web from AJA's website. To get the software, point your browser to:

http://www.aja.com/support/ki-pro/ki-pro.php

This link is also available at the bottom of the “Update Firmware” screen (discussed
later). Once you’re at the update page, Ki Pro Mini software files can be selected to
download to your Mac or PC for upgrading your machine.

2. Unpack the Software

Ki Pro Mini software update files are “ZIP” files, which you can open with a number of
standard and third party uncompressor applications. The software image that you’ll
install on Ki Pro Mini is a file with a name like kipro_ver_2.5.0.5.bin or similar.

NOTE:

Depending on your PC or Mac operating system settings, the “.bin” extension may not be
visible to you in a file directory.
