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.

I have included the audio from the meeting as a podcast . Click on the player below to listen to the presentation.

I recently purchased a Tascam DR-100 Portable Digital Recorder for the purpose to get good audio from while using my  Canon 7D.  There are many people who are using the Sony Zoom H4n and the reviews have been very good.

Thanks to my friend Bryant Taylor who had the Tascam DR-100 and he highly recommended it. I trust his judgment, especially with audio devices so I made the plunge.  It’s an old adage I use  made famous by former President Regan, “trust, but verify.”  So my verification was at my church, Miracle Temple sitting in the back of the sanctuary during our opening praise and worship service.

The file is about 20 minutes long, but if you listen the speech very clear and the music sounds good. I used the unidirectional mic held close to the speakers. Listen to the clip below.  My opinion is that this recorder is solid and will drastically improve  audio in my recordings.
