KONA LHi breakout cable (supplied)
The AJA KONA LHi bridges the gap between legacy analog
devices and the latest 3G SDI and HDMI enabled products
providing editing, monitoring and mastering of professional
quality video in an affordable, powerful, easy to use product.
Connectivity
If your post-production facility works with a wide variety of formats,
frame rates and audio/video sources, the AJA KONA LHi provides
the connectivity you need.
Connect everything from an HDMI enabled camera to an HD-SDI
VTR to KONA LHi. Connecting to any of your legacy analog
video signals is also possible through configurable component,
composite, or s-video. Via an Input PassThrough mode, you can
even configure the card to act as a converter within your computer.
KONA LHi offers a full host of no-compromise features: 10-bit
or 8-bit uncompressed video, 2-channel AES digital audio and
8-channel SDI embedded digital audio, analog composite or
s-video or SD/HD component video I/O, 2-channel balanced analog
audio I/O, and broadcast-quality hardware-based up/down/cross-
conversion for flexible SD and HD post production.
KONA LHi’s HDMI 1.3a support allows you to feed a “deep color”
monitor with quality 10-bit video, banishing video banding and
preserving your gradients and rich color palate.
Broadcast-quality conversions
Like the AJA KONA 3G, the KONA LHi features full 10-bit, broadcast-
quality, motion-adaptive SD to HD up-conversion, HD to HD
crossconversion, HD to SD down-conversion, and automatic HD/SD
12-bit component analog output. Since KONA LHi’s conversions are
hardware-based, they are available all the time - during ingest or
playback. Outputs can be configured independently allowing you
to have simultaneous HD and SD output —or two different types of
HD: 720 or 1080—output at the same time via cross-conversion.
Extend your Connectivity with KLHi-Box
The optional KLHi-Box provides all the standard features of a cable
for 1RU rack mounted I/O convenience and added connectivity in
the form of additional BNC digital AES/EBU connectors and RCA
audio monitoring jacks.
