Description

The flexibility to unlock workflows

KONA LHi provides a wide variety of formats, frame rates and audio/video sources for the connectivity you need. KONA LHi bridges the gap between analog devices and the latest 3G SDI and HDMI-enabled products to provide editing, monitoring and mastering of professional quality video in an affordable, powerful, easy to use product.

Versatile connectivity

Connecting to everything from an HDMI-enabled camera to an HD-SDI VTR, KONA LHi offers a full host of no-compromise features, including 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, and 2-channel balanced analog audio I/O.

Integrated AJA hardware conversion

Like the KONA 3G, KONA LHi features full 10-bit, broadcast quality, motion-adaptive SD to HD up conversion, HD to HD cross conversion, 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.

Extensive software support

KONA LHi is supported by an extensive list of professional software for editing, visual effects, graphics and more allowing the same KONA LHi card to be used by many different applications on the same system. In addition, AJA provides several free applications that enable you to utilize the power of the KONA LHi card even without having to run a particular software package. This allows you to create unique workflows without tying up valuable resources unnecessarily.


Extend your connectivity with KLHi-Box

The optional KHLi-Box breakout box let's you integrate KONA LHi easily into rack environments for quick access to all video and audio connections. Additional connectivity includes BNC digital AES/EBU connectors and RCA audio monitoring jacks.

                        Up-Conversion

                        • Hardware 10-bit
                        • Anamorphic: full-screen
                        • Pillar box 4:3: results in a 4:3 image in center of screen with black sidebars
                        • Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars
                        • Zoom Letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill full screen
                        • Zoom Wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting can introduce a small aspect ratio change

                          Down-Conversion

                          • Hardware 10-bit
                          • Anamorphic: full-screen
                          • Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved
                          • Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size

                            • H Crop: Will produce a horizontally stretched effect on the image; transforms anamorphic SD to full frame
                            • SD Pillarbox: Will produce an image in the center of the screen with black borders on the left and right sides and an anamorphized image in the center
                            • V Crop: Will transform SD letterbox material to an anamorphic image.
