AJA Video Systems Inc AJA-KONALS

The affordably priced KONA LS is the perfect engine for a professional Final Cut Pro 5 editing system. AJA has made a significant investment in the development of exceptional KONA hardware, making KONA cards the preferred choice for performance and stability in the broadcast industry. Now, with KONA LS, everyone can enjoy the rich features, rock-solid video/audio and factory support that exemplify AJA products. KONA LS does away with the need to spend serious money on a nonlinear editing suite. This affordable card, when configured with a PCI Apple Power Mac G5, RAID storage, computer display and video monitor - along with Final Cut Pro 5 - achieves the same editing quality as an expensive turnkey suite. The KONA LSe supports 10-bit resolution SMPTE SDI, using a QuickTime compatible format. KONA LS also has great audio I/O support: balanced analog, AES and embedded SDI audio. KONA LS includes hardware sample-rate conversion on AES inputs - eliminating source synchronizing requirements. And the optional KL-Box for KONA LS provides all the standard features of the cable in an easy-to-use rackmount panel.
