AJA KONA HDMI offers unique and powerful single channel 4K/UltraHD capture all the way up to 60p over HDMI 2.0.

For single channel capture, free AJA Control Room software provides the perfect way to capture and create digital media for use in your editing or effects package of choice. For Mac users, simply place KONA HDMI in a Thunderbolt™ chassis for use with iMac® and MacBook Pro®.

HDR

HDR or 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.

AJA KONA HDMI provides support for accepting HDR signals captured over HDMI from gaming stations like the PS4® Pro.

In addition, AJA provides several free applications that enable you to utilize the power of your AJA hardware even without having to run a particular software package. This allows you to create unique workflows without tying up valuable resources unnecessarily.

AJA KONA HDMI is compatible with macOS®, Windows® and Linux.
