Cross-Platform Power
When looking for a cross-platform hardware solution, KONA is an excellent fit. KONA can be used
interchangeably in either Mac OSX or Windows; with the new AJA Control Room software, KONA will even
run on Linux. KONA allows users the freedom to use applications on different platforms, or collaborate
with users on opposite platforms and pass assets between each other without having to render each time.
KONA supports QuickTime ingest and playback on both OSX and Windows, allowing seamless and elegant
file interchange between operating systems.
* At the time of publishing, Final Cut Pro X is supported by KONA beta drivers
