AJA KONA X

AJA KONA X

PCIe 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 Ultra-Low Latency card

AJA KONA X is designed from the ground up to support next-generation AI and AR workflows. The KONA X is a 4-lane PCIe 3.0 video I/O card with two full-size, bi-directional 12G-SDI BNC video connectors and two full-size HDMI 2.0 connectors, one for input and one for output. KONA X allows users to achieve as low latency as the subframe with Streaming DMA (Direct Memory Access), which enables powerful real-time workflows with no noticeable latency in I/O and processing that is critical for implementations such as live sports and virtual production.
