KONA Overview  |
|
| The Very Finest Capture Cards for Uncompressed SD, HD, 2K & Dual Link HD on OS X |
| KONA cards are the finest uncompressed QuickTime I/O cards available anywhere. AJA KONA cards were the first capture cards available for Final Cut Pro on Mac OS X - and that innovation and quality have continued to this day. A powerful Mac Pro or G5 desktop PCIe or PCI/PCI-X system, Apple's Final Cut Studio 2™ and a KONA card bring you all the quality and function of a full-featured nonlinear editing suite at a fraction of the price. Clarity in sight and sound with uncompromising performance and reliability - that's the promise of KONA. It's in the Hardware...
KONA cards offer unprecedented hardware processing power, offering realtime features only found on the highest-end video systems. Depending on what KONA you choose, you will have superior hardware-based up-/down-/crossconversion, HDV and DVCPROHD acceleration and maximum overall performance, speed and stability - critical advantages in a production environment. Work in SD, HD and even 2K. There are no limits to what KONA hardware offers.
...And It's in the Software
The KONA family of cards also offers incredible software inside: custom QuickTime drivers optimized for AJA's hardware, written and supported by AJA. Our KONA software offers unprecedented features, control and usability - targeted for video professionals by video engineers. Additionally, the powerful and intuitive KONA Control Panel simplifies control of KONA's advanced abilities and even supports stand-alone modes.
