KONA 2 Drivers Version 5.1 NDD, Control Panel, and Notes
(Release Date 2/14/2008, TAR archive)
This 5.1 NDD version is recommended for OS X 10.5.2 users. Note: The AJA
KONA driver version 5.1 NDD is the same as driver version 5.1, but removes
the Macintosh Desktop Display feature.
With the regular version of the 5.1 driver, some users may experience issues with Quartz Extreme, the behavior of their computer displays, and in some cases, kernel panics may occur with certain graphics cards installed. If any of the issues mentioned occur, the driver version 5.1 NDD should be used instead of version 5.1. Driver version 5.1 NDD is also the recommended version for use with the latest Intel Xserve with Xeon 5400 series processors, model (MA882LL/A).

Utilities and Optional Downloads
KONA 2 Additional Easy Setups (ZIP archive) for Final Cut Pro version 5 and KONA Driver software version 3.4 or newer (required)
These setups are not supplied on the currently shipping KONA installation CD. These Easy Setups provide support for 1080p23.98, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p29.97, and 1080p30—in DVCProHD and 8-bit and 10-bit uncompressed formats.
AJA VTR Xchange Application Version 3—Universal Binary for Intel and PowerPC Macs
The application allows users to capture, playback and record video/audio to any deck that can be interfaced with AJA’s KONA 3, KONA 2, LS/LSe, LH/LHe, and Io capture/playback products. The software provides RS-422 deck control via a user-supplied cable connecting the KONA or Io and VTR. New features for this release include frame grabbing and user-selectable support for RP-188. This .tar archive includes the software application, release notes, and user manual.
AJA KONA System Test Version 2
A Macintosh utility for measuring system performance with AJA KONA Video Capture cards. The application includes disk drive speed tests and Macintosh video data copy (DMA) speeds. The disk speed tests differ from standard disk I/O performance applications in that they specifically test the system under conditions typically encountered with video capture, playback and editing. Note: most of the disk performance tests are generic and don't require an AJA KONA Video Capture card. The DMA performance tests do require a KONA card and AJA KONA Driver software to operate. The DMA tests are not compatible with AJA Io products.
AJA Data Rate Calculator Application Version 2
This OS X software application calculates data rates and storage requirements for a given video size, format, and frame rate. It's great for both KONA and Io users as a resource for configuring systems and determining storage requirements.
AJA KONA TV Version 2
an application for playing Kona QuickTime movies directly to the KONA VideoOutput. It's a quickie way to put clips "on-air" without having to launch Final Cut Pro, make a sequence, etc.
AJA KONA QTToDPXTranslator Version 3
takes a 10-bit RGB QuickTime movie (e.g. one that was captured via KONA 2 DualLink) and turns it into a series of DPX files (the DPX file format is a common interchange format for high-end film and graphics workstations).
AJA KONA DPXToQTTranslator Version 3
does the opposite of the above: it turns a folder full of DPX files into a KONA 10-bit RGB QuickTime movie.
AJA Macintosh QuickTime™ Codec v4.0
If you do not have a KONA card in your Macintosh, but need to access AJA QuickTime media files, you can use this AJA QuickTime codec to work with the files.
AJA Windows QuickTime™ Codec v1.1.1
This codec allows media captured via KONA 2, KONA LS, or any of the Io's to be used on Windows machines, for graphics work, etc. The rendered files created on the PC can then be used back on your OSX system and output through your AJA Desktop unit (KONA LS, Io, etc.). The KONA PC Codec covers the following compression formats:
- '2vuy' (aka "Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2")
- '2Vuy' (aka "AJA Kona 2Vuy Codec")
- 'v210' (aka "Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2")
- 'R10k' (aka "AJA Kona 10-bit RGB Codec")
- 'R10g' (aka "AJA Kona 10-bit Log RGB Codec")
Note: To reiterate, this is a codec, and not a driver for our cards. It is intended to allow PC users to use AJA media captured on a Mac. It is not a driver for use of our KONA or Io hardware in the PC environment.
