KONA 4 features hardware-based full 10-bit broadcast quality motion adaptive SD
to HD up-conversion, HD to SD down-conversion and HD to HD cross-conversion.
The KONA 4's built-in up-converter uses a full 10-bit path, fully motion adaptive
de-interlacing, and large multi-point digital interpolators. Down-conversion uses
large multi-point digital interpolators, anti-alias filtering and interpolation.
Cross-conversion is high-quality hardware-based, providing capability to
streamline dailies and offers true broadcast picture quality in real time. Because
these functions are in hardware on the card, they are available full time, all
the time—with no CPU load. Such conversions are useful for cost effective
monitoring, making standard definition dubs of an HD project, or upconverting
from a standard definition project to an HD deliverable.
KONA 4’s high-quality input sample-rate conversion on AES inputs eliminates the
need for audio source synchronization. Sample rate converters auto-lock to any
AES input, 32-96kHz, and then convert it to 24-bit 48kHZ audio, locked to internal
KONA 4 video.
For HDR workflows, KONA 4 in 4K mode supports HDR10 and HLG for rich color
delivery. KONA 4 also supports Dolby Vision HDR with the appropriate 3rd party
software.
