KONA 4 is a powerful 8-lane PCIe 2.0 video and audio desktop I/O card with unparalleled features for handling everything from SD to HD, 2K and 4K with full 10-bit 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 sampling for fantastic image clarity. KONA 4 has the power for the work you do today and into the future.
KONA 4’s extensive 4K support allows output directly from editing systems to 4K projectors or monitors, including HFR support at 50/60 fps and 4K HDMI output to support the latest UltraHD monitors, allowing editors and clients to view full resolution 4K images as they work.
KONA 4 also supports AJA Raw capture at up to 120 fps via 4 3G-SDI connections. Create beautiful and detailed slow motion with an engaging cinematic feel via AJA Control Room.
KONA 4 has the power to support 4K High Frame Rate (HFR) at 50p and 60p for the most demanding 4K and UHD workflows.
The HDMI output is capable of displaying 4K/UHD via HDMI to many of the new UltraHD monitors, making full-resolution monitoring affordable while stil maintaining pristine image quality.
KONA 4 supports Windows, Mac and Linux, providing incredible 4K and multi-channel power for a wide range of applications.
KONA 4 features bi-directional 3G-SDI connections that can be used for input and output. HDMI 2.0b monitoring output, LTC I/O, Genlock input, RS-422 control, configurable 3 x BNC SD/HD analog video output and 8-channel AES audio I/O allow KONA 4 to integrate into a variety of workflows.
The built-in hardware downstream keyer allows graphics and images to be overlaid on the input video to the card for easy overlays.
AJA Technical Support is recognized as one of the best in the industry and provided at no additional charge. Our support team will work with you to solve any issues you might encounter and ensure you are up and running as quickly as possible.
