AJA Video Systems Inc AJA-KONALH

The KONA LH 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 LH bridges the analog and digital worlds by offering I/O for both. A lot of card for a low price, KONA LH also features dual-monitor desktop viewing for editing ease. The KONA LH 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 LH provides optimum quality for SD and HD - the maximum allowed in SMPTE SDI standards. Using QuickTime format, KONA LH 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 LH 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 LH 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 LH is perfect for not only uncompressed, but also HDV and other diverse workflows.
