AJA Video Kona 3G 2K/3G/Dual-Link HD/HD/SD 10-bit PCIe Card
Pre-Order Today for an Expected November Delivery
The professional's choice for uncompressed SD, HD, Dual Link HD, 2K, and 3G
KONA 3G has the unparalleled features top of the line video professionals expect from AJA Desktop solutions.
KONA 3G features 10-bit Uncompressed video I/O, the newest HDMI 1.4a
support for 3D workflows, 16-channel SDI embedded audio I/O, and up to
16-channel AES digital audio I/O (8 with breakout cable or 16 with
optional K3G-Box). Add to that realtime hardware-based up/down/cross
conversion for efficiently working with a wide variety of SD and HD,
3G, dual-link HD, even 2K formats, a hardware downstream keyer for
compositing graphics without rendering, and so much more.
3D Stereoscopic flexibility
KONA 3G offers you the most affordable and simplest path through 3D Stereoscopic workflows.
Through SDI, you can output Discrete Left and Right Eye feeds
with a simple Stereo button choice in the AJA control panel. In
addition, all the muxed feeds for SDI stereo monitoring are accessible
through tight integration with CineForm's stereo codecs in Apple FCP
and Adobe CS5 timelines for Side by Side, Top Bottom and so much more.
Through HDMI 1.4a, you can utilize more affordable 3D monitors for Side by Side, Top Bottom and Frame Packed needs.
KONA 3G offers you Stereo Simplicity.
Broadcast-quality conversions
KONA 3G 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 HD/SD 12-bit
component analog output. Since all conversion functionality on the KONA
3G is hardware-based, it's available all the time on ingest or
playback.
Uniquely, the KONA 3G can even cross-convert 720p 23.98 to
1080PsF 23.98. Cross-conversion is particularly valuable in today's
multi-format HD post environment where being able to produce pristine
720p or 1080i signals at-will helps streamline dailies and deliverables
creation.
Internal SD/HD hardware downstream keyer
The AJA KONA 3G
features a powerful hardware downstream keyer that can place graphic
files with an alpha channel over the video being input to the board-or
a selectable color matte, or the contents of the card's framebuffer
(ex: AJA TV/Apple Final Cut Pro). The downstream keyer can also key a
QuickTime video clip that has an alpha channel by playing it in
realtime, via the supplied AJA TV application, over live video coming
into the card.
Connectivity
For SDI video, the card features two
3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs and two outputs, HDMI 1.4a monitoring output, LTC
input and output, one connection for Genlock input, and configurable 3x
BNC HD/SD analog video output. Also included is a 9-pin connector for
RS-422 machine control. If you're using a Digital Betacam, DVCPro50,
HDCAM, DVCPRO HD, D5, or HDCAM SR VTR-or any other professional
device-you'll have the proper connections.
Dual link HD support
KONA 3G supports Dual Link 4:4:4 HD-SDI,
with full bandwidth 4:4:4 RGB at 10-bits for 1080i, 1080p, 1080PsF and
720p formats. KONA 3G can also convert between 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 formats
for single link HD-SDI monitoring and output.
2K support
As the most capable 2K card for the Mac, you can
use KONA 3G to ingest from 3G or HSDL (high speed data link) equipped
sources and record at full frame rate or record simultaneous 2K DPX
files and 2K QuickTime reference movies using the AJA VTR Xchange
application. You can also work with existing 2K material, like
sequential DPX or Cineon files, by using AJA's DPXToQT Translator
application to create QuickTime files for a wide variety of
applications. RED Epic and ARRI Alexa workflows are eased by KONA 3G,
with true realtime 2K playback and LUT support.
On a PC, KONA 3G can connect to a 2K telecine saving time and
steps by directly creating 2K DPX, QuickTime, Cineon, AVI, TGA, TIFF or
BMP files. Users can capture directly into the format they need and
move files immediately into their editing/compositing environment of
choice. These same files can be played out at 2K via 3G or High Speed
Data Link (HSDL), offering further synergy with other 2K products
already in use in the market.
KONA 3G also allows 2K files to be viewed with a user selected
crop function on HD 1080PsF supported video monitors. This
functionality helps lower the price barrier for viewing 2K material.
The 1080 HD playout can additionally be down-converted to SD
in realtime, giving users a powerful solution for multi-format video
playout of 2K material and flexible tape mastering options.
Audio
Tie the KONA 3G to a digital audio mixer or DAW output
with 8-channel 24-bit 48kHz or 96kHz AES audio via BNC connections on
the supplied breakout cable-or get the optional K3G-Box to output an
even larger 16-channels of AES audio.
KONA 3G's high-quality input sample-rate conversion on AES inputs eliminates the need for audio source synchronization.
For multi-channel audio mastering, 16-channel SDI embedded
24-bit 48kHz audio provides the power you need to integrate into any
audio environment.
Extend your Connectivity with K3G-Box for KONA 3G
The
optional K3G-Box simplifies connectivity in professional
post-production environments by offering a 19-inch, 1RU rack-mountable
breakout box that attaches to the KONA 3G via an included multi-pin
cable and two cables supplied with the KONA 3G. Additional K3G-Box
functionality over the standard breakout cable comes in the form of 8
additional AES audio channels, 2-channel RCA analog audio monitoring
jacks, and looping BNC Genlock reference connectors.
