Joe--I have no idea why anyone would do that, but I have seen it happen.
The only significant issue that I have seen with the Ki-Pro is that, if used as a recording device, the output signal is the same type as the input signal. Which is to say that (for example) an SD NTSC monitor cannot be used to monitor the signal when recording a 1080p23.98 signal. It will downconvert the input if desired, but will then only record in SD.
Also, the rack mountable version will accept two hard disks, but will only use one at a time, as opposed to using the second disk as a mirror of the first and/or allowing long recordings to span both disks.
Still, though, it is a great box for the price. We ended up buying one for a performing-arts house, both to record live productions using a security-type camera permanently mounted in the house and to play back custom-made "coming soon" video promos before both films and live events. I have also rented them for playback of custom video promo spots for film festivals and for recording film Q&As directly to disk via HD-SDI.
Sound Devices makes something similar, but their unit is designed more for production than for exhibition, and has a number of limitations that make the Aja unit a better choice for exhibition-oriented users.
