Ethernet: An RJ45 connector provides a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port for connecting Ki Pro
Rack directly to a computer or Ethernet hub or switch for connecting to a LAN.
Ki Pro Rack is compatible with CAT-5 straight-through or cross-over Ethernet
cables, automatically detecting which is used. Once connected and properly configured,
Ki Pro Rack can then be controlled by a web browser on the LAN.
RS-422 Connector: K i Pro Rack features a 9-pin serial port that may be used with some RS-
422 devices.
IMPORTANT: Not all RS-422 devices have been tested with Ki Pro Rack, so AJA cannot definitively say which
devices may or may not communicate as expected with Ki Pro Rack when operated under RS-
422 remote control. Refer to the latest Release Notes document for which devices or non-
linear editors have been tested with Ki Pro operating under RS-422 control.
HDMI: Two HDMI connectors provide for input and output of HDMI compatible video
and embedded audio. HDCP sources are not supported on the input. The HDMI
input is designed to support long cable runs: up to 100 feet (30.48m) when using
22 or 24AWG HDMI cable, or up to 50 feet (15.24m) using 28 or 30AWG HDMI
cable. The HDMI output supports standard HDMI cables only.
