Visualize uncompressed video, 8-channel AES and embedded audio, up/down HD/SD format conversion, hardware downstream keyer, and HD/SD component analog output-all yours on a state-of-the-art 4-lane PCI Express card. Intrigued? Like other members of the KONA family, KONA 3 is designed for no-holds-barred design and editing-with support for Apple Final Cut Studio-plus hardware acceleration for the DVCPROHD and HDV codecs, and Dynamic RT Extreme effects in Final Cut Pro 5. KONA 3, the new standard bearer for quality, flexibility, and future-safe architecture in a QuickTime I/O card.                     KEY FEATURES Vroom! KONA 3's 4-Lane PCI-Express bus interface with our own integrated AJA QuickTime drivers team up perfectly with the new Apple PowerMacs to give you unparalleled power and efficiency within Final Cut Pro. Supporting any uncompressed SD or HD format, including Dual Link, KONA 3 captures and plays back uncompressed 10-bit and 8-bit digital video and 24-bit 48kHz digital audio in standard definition (SMPTE 259M), high definition (SMPTE 292M), and Dual Link high definition (SMPTE 372M). KONA 3 also includes a variety of 10-bit broadcast-quality features, such as hardware-based up-and-down-conversion to and from HD-and adds a live hardware keyer for compositing bugs, live video, and other elements over your video. Dual-Link KONA 3 supports Dual-Link 4:4:4 HD-SDI, a new technology on the Macintosh platform. Commonly known as Sony HDCAM SR or Thompson Viper Format, KONA 3 Dual-Link supports full bandwidth 4:4:4 RGB at 10-bits (12-bit capable) for 1080i, 1080p, and 720p formats. KONA 3 can also convert between 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 formats for single link HD-SDI output. Broadcast-Quality Conversion KONA 3 features full 10-bit, broadcast-quality, motion-adaptive SD to HD up-conversion, HD to SD down-conversion, and automatic HD/SD 12-bit component analog output. That's the equivalent of rolling AJA's stand-alone HD D/A converter, HD to SD downconverter, and our SD to HD up-converter into one convenient, cost-efficient KONA 3 board - at half the price. The quality is identical to AJA's award-winning stand-alone products, and all functionality is hardware-based, making it available full time, all the time, on digitize or playback. Internal HD/SD Live Hardware Keyer Available for the first time on any QuickTime capture card is a powerful hardware keyer that can place graphic files with an alpha channel over video in, a selectable matte, or the contents of the card's framebuffer (KONA TV/Final Cut Pro). If that weren't enough, you can also key video that has an alpha channel over video input or a matte. For example, you could load a QuickTime clip that has an alpha-channel-a flying logo perhaps-into KONA TV (an AJA software utility supplied) and then place it over live video coming into the card. Audio KONA 3's extensive audio support makes installation a breeze, working with 8-channel 24-bit 48kHz AES audio via XLR (balanced) connections, and 8-channel embedded 24-bit 48kHz embedded SDI/HD-SDI audio. KONA 3 also features high-quality input sample rate conversion on AES inputs, which eliminates the need for audio source synchronization. If you're using a digital Betacam deck, HDCAM, DVCPRO HD, D5, D9, or even an HDCAM SR, you'll have the proper connections. Flexible I/O KONA 3 boasts two HD/SD SDI video inputs and outputs and a component analog output, each independently switchable between HD and SD (SD analog can be configured as composite). For example, if you are working in HD, you can have simultaneous HD-SDI, SDI, and HD or SD component analog output. You can also use the two SDI outputs for a split video and key output for use with switchers, DVEs, and other professional equipment. Using KONA 3's full-time format conversion features, monitoring can be as simple as a single composite monitor for both SD and HD projects. Dual-Link can be monitored via Dual-Link HD-SDI outputs, Single-Link HD-SDI, or HD component analog.                     SPECIFICATIONS Type 10/12-bit Uncompressed SD/HD QuickTime Capture/Output Card Type SDI, HD-SDI, Dual Link HD-SDI 4:4:4, and 4:4:4:4 capture/output card Compatible with Final Cut Pro 5 Adobe After Effects Adobe Photoshop Apple Motion Apple Shake Discreet Combustion Video System NTSC & PAL SD 720x576 @25fps PAL 720x486 @29.97fps NTSC HD 720p @50fps 720p @59.94fps 720p @60fps 1080i @25fps 1080i @29.97fps 1080i @50fps 1080psf @23.98fps 1080psf @24fps 1080p @50fps 1080p @59.94fps 1080p @60fps Video Formats HD-SDI/SDI, SMPTE-259/292/296 Dual-link HD 4:4:4, 4:4:4:4 12-bit HD/SD Uncompressed Analog YUV Audio Formats 24-bit, 48kHz Host Connection PCI-Express x4 slot Input and Output Connectors Video Digital 2 x BNC HD/SD-SDI, in (Single/Dual-Link) 2 x BNC HD/SD-SDI, out (Single/Dual-Link) Analog 3 x BNC YUV/Composite, out Audio Digital 4 x XLR AES/EBU, in (1-8 Ch.) 4 x XLR AES/EBU, out (1-8 Ch.) 8-Ch.
