AJA KONA 1 S Single Channel 3G-SDI PCIe I/O Card, Low Profile

The AJA KONA 1 is a single-channel 3G-SDI 2K/HD 60p I/O card for broadcast, post, ProAV and OEM developers, with serial control, reference/LTC and HDR over SDI. The KONA 1 S is the low profile (short) version, with RS-422 on an internal header. It captures, monitors and outputs frame accurately up to 2K 60p over 3G-SDI, with an SDI input and output carrying 16 channels of embedded audio and video pass through on the SDI output while capturing. HDR is supported with PQ, HLG and Dolby Vision, VPID signaling and, with AJA Control Room, HDR metadata capture and auto playback detection. It works with applications from Adobe, Avid, Apple, OBS Project and Telestream on macOS, Windows and Linux, including Apple silicon systems.
