AJA Video Systems Inc AJA-KONALHE

The KONA LHe offers a full ride to HD with no-compromise, 10-bit uncompressed video, 2-channel AES and 8-channel embedded audio, analog composite/component video I/O, 2-channel analog audio I/O, broadcast-quality hardware downconversion and TBC on analog inputs. KONA LHe bridges the analog and digital worlds by offering I/O for both. A lot of card for a low price, KONA LHe also features dual-monitor desktop viewing for editing ease. The KONA LHe comes standard with a breakout cable and also works with the optional KL-Box for rackmounted I/O convenience.

Supporting native 10-bit resolution, KONA LHe provides optimum quality for SD and HD - the maximum allowed in SMPTE SDI standards. Using QuickTime format, KONA LHe captures directly to 10-bit files on disk, and also supports many legacy 8-bit formats for backward compatibility. KONA LH also supports DVCPROHD and HDV, DV25, DV50, JPEG and more.

In addition to perfection in video, KONA LHe offers all the audio support you'd ever want: native OS X multi-channel audio and 24-bit AES/EBU digital audio at 48kHz for digital production. For ease of use, KONA LHe also includes hardware sample-rate conversion on AES inputs - eliminating source synchronizing requirements.

As the only card available supporting HD/SD analog I/O, KONA LHe is perfect for not only uncompressed, but also HDV and other diverse workflows.
