KONA 5 is AJA’s blazingly fast,
8-lane PCIe 3.0 I/O card, designed
for today’s most demanding video and
audio workflows.
Whether you
are working with HFR 4K/UltraHD,
2K/HD, SD, Deep Color and/or HDR,
experience the quality and peace of
mind that KONA 5 brings to your
world. Supporting 10-bit 4:2:2 and
4:4:4, or even 12-bit* color spaces
for pristine imagery, KONA 5 allows
the flexibility to ingest and output
with 12G/6G/3G-SDI and monitor with
a full size HDMI 2.0 port. The
bi-directional 12G-SDI ports provide
immense flexibility for capture and
simultaneous pass through, and with
the appropriate software,
multi-channel capture and streaming.
For HDR workflows, KONA 5
supports HDR 10 and HLG* for rich
color delivery over HDMI 2.0. KONA 5
has the power for the work you do
today and into the future.
*Application dependent
Professional Connectivity:
12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 KONA 5
boasts 4x bi-directional 12G-SDI
spigots with a Reference Input and
4K/UltraHD I/O can be achieved with
either a single 12G-SDI or 6G-SDI
cable, or quad 3G-SDI cables. 2K/HD
I/O can be achieved with a single
3G-SDI cable, or dual link 1.5G-SDI,
while allowing capture and
monitoring via SDI to take place
simultaneously.
A full-sized
HDMI 2.0 connection offers
monitoring and output, with HDR ,
Deep Color and HFR support. Across
the board, KONA 5 is the
professionals choice for post,
broadcast, graphics, virtual sets,
pre-viz, live compositing and more.
Extended Connectivity
KONA 5 ships with an included
breakout cable that offers extensive
connectivity for AES, RS-422 control
support and Reference: -
8-Channels of AES/EBU (BNC) In -
8-Channels of AES/EBU (BNC) Out -
RS-422 9-pin connector for control
- LTC In and Out
HDR
HDR (High Dynamic Range) provides
the ability to display a wider and
richer range of colors, much
brighter whites, and much deeper,
darker blacks than standard signals
allow. This gives your imagery a
more ‘dynamic’ look and allows for
natural true to life colors to be
communicated to your audience.
KONA 5 delivers robust HDR
compatibility to HDMI displays with
support for HLG and HDR 10 with HDR
Infoframe metadata, in accordance
with HDMI2.0a/CTA-861.3 and HD.
Sync Up KONA
5 can be locked to an external
reference for integration into
larger productions, or feed LTC in
and out to ensure footage captured
with KONA 5 has the proper timecode.
Machine Control
A 9-pin RS-422 port on the included
breakout cable allows control of a
range of external devices for frame
accurate captures and layoffs.
Hardware Keying
The built-in hardware downstream
keyer allows graphics and images to
be easily overlaid on the input
video in realtime.
