KONA 3G audio and video capture card has the peerless features top of the video capture card line.

KONA 3G provides professionals video with unparalleled for handling everything from SD to HD, 2K and 4K, all with full 10-bit peerless clarity. With a broadcast-quality up/down/cross converter and the ability to work in 3D.

The poweful KONA 3G card  supports for 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 color spaces to provide the highest quality for  images and with the futureproof architecture it is easly to work with HD and 2K now and switch to working at 4K resolution without the requirement for new harware.

3D Stereoscopic flexibility

KONA 3G offers the most sustainable and easy path through 3D Stereoscopic workflows. With a Stereo button choice in the AJA control panel, Through SDI, you can output Discrete Left and Right Eye feeds. In addition, all the muxed feeds for SDI stereo monitoring are accessible through tight integration with CineForm's stereo codecs in Apple FCP and Adobe CS5 timelines for Side by Side, Top Bottom and so much more. Through HDMI 1.4a, you can utilize more affordable 3D displays for your monitoring needs.

Broadcast-quality conversions

KONA 3G has motion-adaptive SD to HD up-conversion, HD to HD cross-conversion, HD to SD down-conversion, and automatic HD/SD 12-bit component analog output. Since all conversion functionality on the KONA 3G is hardware-based, it's available all the time on ingest or playback. Lone, the KONA 3G can even cross-convert 720p 23.98 to 1080PsF 23.98. Cross-conversion is particularly valuable in today's multi-format HD post environment where being able to produce pristine 720p or 1080i signals at-will helps streamline dailies and deliverables creation.

Internal SD/HD hardware downstream keyer

The AJA KONA 3G features a strong hardware downstream keyer that can place graphic files with an alpha channel over the video being input to the boardor a selectable color matte, or the contents of the card's framebuffer (ex: AJA TV/Apple Final Cut Pro). The downstream keyer can also key a QuickTime video clip that has an alpha channel by playing it in realtime, via the supplied AJA TV application, over live video coming into the card.

Connectivity

For SDI video, the card aspects two 3G/HD/SD-SDI - o 4K inputs and two outputs, HDMI 1.4a monitoring output, LTC input and output, one connection for Genlock input, and configurable 3x BNC HD/SD analog video output. 

4K support

The futureproof architecture concedes to work facilely in HD and 2K now and switch to working at 4K resolution on the same hardware. KONA 3G offers 4K in both YCbCr and RGB.

KONA 3G supports Dual Link 4:4:4 HD-SDI, with full bandwidth 4:4:4 RGB at 10-bits for 1080i, 1080p, 1080PsF and 720p formats. The video capture card can also convert between 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 formats for single link HD-SDI monitoring and output.

Audio

KONA 3G has a digital audio mixer or DAW output with 8-channel 24-bit 48kHz or 96kHz AES audio via BNC connections on the supplied breakout cableor get the optional K3G-Box to output an even larger 16-channels of AES audio. KONA 3G's high-quality input sample-rate conversion on AES inputs eliminates the need for audio source synchronization. For multi-channel audio mastering, 16-channel SDI embedded 24-bit 48kHz audio provides the power you need to integrate into any audio environment.

Extend your Connectivity with K3G-Box for KONA 3G

The optional K3G-Box  offers a 19-inch, 1RU rack-mountable breakout box that attaches to the KONA 3G via an included multi-pin cable and two cables supplied with the KONA 3G. Additional K3G-Box useful over the standard breakout cable comes in the form of 8 additional AES audio channels, 2-channel RCA analog audio monitoring jacks, and looping BNC Genlock reference connectors.
