AJA Video Systems today
announced CION, an entirely new professional camera. CION features an
ergonomic design and is capable of shooting at 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD
resolutions. AJA pioneered lens-to-post Apple ProRes workflows with the
introduction of the Ki Pro product line in 2009; CION builds on this
achievement by offering in-camera recording directly to the Apple ProRes
family of codecs – including 12-bit 444 – for pristine image capture.
ProRes codecs are well established in many post-production environments
and offer wide compatibility with editing, color correction and
finishing applications. CION enables today’s growing demand for high
frame rate support and offers the ability to output 4K raw data at up to
120 fps via 4x 3G-SDI outputs. CION can record directly to AJA Pak SSD
media at up to 60 frames per second.
CION embraces a familiar and tested camera form
