is the regular Ki-Pro going to support DNxHD ?

Herb,

It is my understanding that the original KiPro will Not support DNX encoding.

Have a look at the Sound Devices Pix: https://sounddevices.com/products/pix.htm

We have a few, and am liking them much better then the Ki. They also support DNxHD.

After learning that the Ki would not support DNxHD we did some research and had a meeting about Sound Devices this morning. The cons are the expensive proprietary SSD drives and the lack of the control software that AJA provides. Despite that, we’re probably going with the Sound Devices recorders.

Herb,

From what I read and hear, the Sound Devices product records the DNx as .mov file, not .mxf files. This is not the optimal workflow for Avid as I assume you know. Strikes me as odd that that is how they do it.

I have not seen / heard anything about this important detail for the AJA product. And seeing as how it is no longer Q4 2011, details should be coming quite soon I hope.

Cheers,

Jef

I believe that’s because the .mxf is proprietary even though the DNx codec is now available to everyone. I would imagine re-wrapping to .mxf would be near instantaneous, also I might be heading PPro’s way but would still like to use the DNx codec.

Well, DaVinci Resolve is writing DNxHD .mxf files. In fact, they can’t handle QT DNx!! And there is a free version of Resolve doing this.

So I don’t think it is a proprietary issue.
