The AJA KONA 5 is an SDI capture card with support for 4K/UltraHD HFR, 2K/HD, SD, Deep Color and/or HDR. It supports 10-bit 4:2:2 and 4:4:4, or even 12-bit color spaces, enabling ingest and playback of 12G/6G/3G-SDI signals and monitoring using an HDMI 2.0 port. The bi-directional 12G-SDI connections provide immense flexibility for capture and with the right software, multi-channel capture and streaming.
KONA 5 features 4 bi-directional 12G-SDI connectors and reference input. 4K/UltraHD input and output is achieved with one 12G-SDI or 6G-SDI cable, or with four 3G-SDI cables. It allows capture and monitoring via SDI to be performed simultaneously.
The HDMI 2.0 connection offers monitoring and output, with support for HDR, Deep Color and HFR. The KONA 5 is the most professional choice for post production, broadcast, graphics, virtual sets, live compositing, etc.
