I attended my first Final Cut Pro User Group, it was the District of Columbia chapter that was founded a few years back by Rodney Mitchell.  This meeting featured AJA , they have been a leading manufacturer of high-quality and cost-effective digital video interface, conversion and desktop solutions supporting the professional broadcast and post-production markets.

Manny Rosado was the field service engineer who came out to tell us about their new products and offerings.  The one that impressed me the most was Ki Pro .  The information below  is pulled from the AJA web site

The AJA Ki Pro is a tapeless video recording device that records high-quality Apple ProRes 422 QuickTime files onto computer-friendly media. Because it features SD/HD-SDI, HDMI, and analog inputs, you can interface with virtually any type of camera you might own or rent. Enjoy monitoring flexibility through Ki Pro’s numerous simultaneous outputs, connecting to both professional and consumer monitors.
