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.
KONA
LHi's HDMI 1.3a support allows you to feed a "deep color" monitor with glorious
10-bit video, banishing video banding and preserving your gradients and rich
color palette. Only KONA LHi delivers this 10-bit deep color HDMI support. HDMI
signals can also be converted to SDI for use in more professional
environments.
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.
