AJA KONA 5 PCIe Power, No Cable – 12G-SDI PCIe Card

AJA KONA 5 12G-SDI PCIe I/O Card with HDMI 2.0 Output, PCIe Power, No Cable KONA-5-R0-S02

The AJA KONA 5 is an 8-lane PCIe 3.0 video and audio I/O card for HFR 8K/UltraHD2, 4K/UltraHD, 2K/HD and SD, Deep Color and HDR workflows, with 10-bit 4:2:2 and 12-bit 4:4:4 color spaces. Its four bidirectional 12G-SDI ports allow capture and simultaneous pass-through, 8K/UltraHD2 over four 12G-SDI links, 4K/UltraHD over a single 12G-SDI link and, with suitable software, multi-channel capture and streaming, while the full-size HDMI 2.0 port provides monitoring and output with HDR, Deep Color and HFR. It works with AJA Control Room and Control Panel, plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer and other applications, and the AJA SDK.
