Center of the Universe
 By Cynthia Wisehart
 Here’s a must-see device and not just because you can control it with your iPhone: AJA’s ambitious little portable digital disk recorder—Ki Pro—attaches to virtually any camera (via SDI or HDMI) and records virtually any video (or audio) source directly (and losslessly) to 10-bit full raster Apple ProRes 422. Unplug it from the camera, plug it into Final Cut Studio via FireWire 800, and media is instantly available to edit. Or record to 35mm ExpressCard Flash. Ships in June starting at $4K with 260GB HDD storage module and an AC adapter. more>>
