AJA has announced that its new Desktop Software v17.6 is coming soon, and will introduce improvements for AJA’s KONA IP25 4K SMPTE ST 2110 I/O card, like Video+Key playout, new 4K and 2K formats up to 4:4:4 12-bit, and flexible multi-stream ST 2110-30 audio.
The AJA KONA IP25 4K SMPTE ST 2110 I/O card is an 8-lane PCIe Gen 4.0, SMPTE ST 2110 IP I/O card supporting bidirectional uncompressed video. KONA IP25 has two SFP cages that support 10 and 25 Gigabit Ethernet (10/25 GigE) SFPs and also includes a 1 GigE RJ-45 connector.
The KONA IP25 is your complete solution for SMPTE ST 2110 processing with onboard PTP and NMOS control. To your computer, the KONA IP25 appears like any other KONA card and carries the control load, so it’s not placed on the host PC. ST 2110 configuration and control are supported by both In-Band (media network via SFPs) and Out-of-Band (control network via RJ-45).
The KONA IP25 supports Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Avid Media Composer, AJA Control Room, and other leading editorial, effects, and production tools on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
For creative users, the operational experience of using your favorite creative tool remains unchanged, and with AJA Control Panel additions to set up capture and playout, you are assured to have a seamless expansion into ST 2110.
For Developers, the same AJA SDK used for baseband KONA I/O cards is also used for KONA IP25, offering an easy way to develop applications and create systems for SMPTE ST 2110 workflows.
