About AJA KONA 3G
If you're a video professional seeking advanced, high-quality, and sophisticated equipment, the KONA 3G 2K, 3G/Dual-Link HD/HD/SD 10-Bit PCIe Card with HDMI 1.4a Output is your ideal solution. This innovative, professional-grade desktop I/O card is designed to handle a wide range of video formats, from SD to HD, 2K, and even 4K, all with 10-bit uncompressed clarity.
The KONA 3G card offers unparalleled features, including a broadcast-quality up-, down-, cross-converter, and the ability to work in 3D. It supports both 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 color spaces, ensuring the highest quality for your images. This futureproof card allows you to work with HD and 2K now and switch to 4K resolution at frame rates up to 60 fps when needed, without requiring new hardware.
The card supports Dual Link 4:4:4 HD-SDI, providing full-bandwidth 4:4:4 RGB at 10-bits for various formats. It also features two 3G/HD/SD inputs and outputs, HDMI 1.4a monitoring output, LTC I/O, Genlock input, and configurable 3 x BNC SD/HD analog video output.
When switched into 4K mode, all four BNC connections can be used for 4K capture or output. The extensive 4K support allows direct output from editing systems to 4K projectors or monitors, including HFR support at 50/60 fps and 4K HDMI output. This enables a powerful, affordable, and manageable 4K workflow.
The built-in up-, down-, cross-converter simplifies workflows by bringing any video to a unified resolution. Additionally, the KONA 3G includes a powerful hardware downstream keyer that can place graphic files with an alpha channel, selectable color matte, or the contents of the card's frame buffer over the video being input to the card.
The KONA 3G card is not only futureproof but also leads the way for quality 4K capture, monitoring, and output. When 4K mode is selected, the four SDI connectors are remapped as I/O for handling the four quadrants of a 4K picture.
The card features full 10-bit, broadcast-quality, motion-adaptive SD to HD up conversion, HD to HD cross conversion, HD to SD down conversion, and automatic SD/HD 12-bit component analog output. All conversion functionality is hardware-based, available on ingest or playback.
For extended connectivity, the optional K3G-Box breakout box and cables allow the KONA 3G to integrate easily into rack environments, providing quick access to all video and audio connections. The K3G-Box also offers eight additional AES audio channels, 2-channel RCA analog audio monitoring jacks, and looping BNC Genlock reference connectors.
In conclusion, the KONA 3G 2K, 3G/Dual-Link HD/HD/SD 10-Bit PCIe Card with HDMI 1.4a Output is a versatile, high-quality, and futureproof solution for video professionals. It's compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems and designed to work with a variety of video editing software, making it a must-have tool for video capture and playback.
