My point really is that AJA should (in their own best interest) keep developing the big KiPro as it has less competition in the marketplace. The little camera mounted recorders are popping up everywhere.
The Blackmagic device (and others like it) actually make the original KiPro more unique and useful for users like me. We use KiPro like a traditional VTR. Being able to record for extended periods at that price point is unique, as far as I know. Many of us don’t have media wranglers to switch out and manage cards or SSD’s. The BM device records only uncompressed, so even with a large SSD, you will be swapping out drives every 20 min or so.
I’m having a similar problem with Screenflick. Set it to record 30fps and it comes out as 30.03. FCP doesn’t deal well with non standard frame rates it seems. When I bring those clips into FCP, the frame rate gets very odd and seems to change to 2.3 fps for some reason.
