AJA KONA 1-S 3G-SDI 2K/HD Capture and Playback Card

AJA KONA 1-S 3G-SDI 2K/HD Capture and Playback CardThe AJA KONA 1-S is a single-channel 3G-SDI capture and playback card designed for professional video workflows and OEM developers. Its short, low-profile design supports installations where space is limited and allows an internal connection for an optional external RS-422 9-pin connector. Capture and play back 2K and HD video at up to 60p, with support for Mac, Windows, and Linux systems.Key Features 3G-SDI Capture and Playback: Supports single-channel 2K and HD video up to 60p. Short, Low-Profile Design: Designed for OEM developers and space-constrained system builds. RS-422 Connectivity Option: Provides an internal connection for an optional external 9-pin RS-422 connector. Reference and LTC Input: Selectable HD/SD reference or LTC input. Mac, Windows, and Linux Compatibility: Uses a 2-lane PCIe 2.0 interface. Full-Size BNC Ports: Provides professional SDI connectivity. 16-Channel Embedded SDI Audio: Supports 24-bit, 48 kHz audio input and output. Simultaneous Monitoring: Monitor video during capture. ANC Capture and Processing: Supports ancillary data capture and processing. Flexible Frame Buffer Formats: Supports 8-bit and 10-bit YCbCr and RGB formats. Low-Profile 3G-SDI Capture and Playback for OEM SystemsThe AJA KONA 1-S brings professional video I/O to custom-built workstations, OEM systems, and production environments that need reliable 2K and HD capture and playback. Its single-channel 3G-SDI workflow supports video up to 60p, while embedded audio and ancillary data capabilities help accommodate professional production requirements.The card's selectable HD/SD reference or LTC input supports synchronization needs, and simultaneous monitoring during capture helps operators keep an eye on video as it is recorded.Designed for Custom Hardware IntegrationThe KONA 1-S is the short, low-profile version of the KONA 1. Unlike the taller version with an integrated 9-pin connector, the KONA 1-S allows OEM developers to make an internal connection for an optional external RS-422 9-pin connector. This makes it a useful option for system builders designing custom video solutions.Compatibility: Mac, Windows, and Linux systems with a compatible 2-lane PCIe 2.0 slot. External RS-422 connectivity requires the appropriate optional connector.
