Workflow
KONA 5 offers powerful next-generation performance for a range of workflows. Extensive and flexible connectivity will put KONA 5 at the center of your multi-format projects.
HDR
HDR (High Dynamic Range) provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colours, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than standard signals allow. This gives your imagery a more 'dynamic' look and allows for natural true to life colours to be communicated to your audience.
KONA 5 delivers robust HDR compatibility to HDMI displays with support for HLG and HDR 10 with HDR Infoframe metadata, in accordance with HDMI2.0a/CTA-861.3 and HD.
Sync Up
KONA 5 can be locked to an external reference for integration into larger productions, or feed LTC in and out to ensure footage captured with KONA 5 has the proper timecode.
Machine Control
A 9-pin RS-422 port on the included breakout cable allows control of a range of external devices for frame accurate captures and layoffs.
Hardware Keying
The built-in hardware downstream keyer allows graphics and images to be easily overlaid on the input video in realtime.
Legendary Support
AJA Technical Support is recognized as one of the best in the industry and is provided at no additional charge. Our support team will work with you to solve any issues you might encounter and get you working as quickly as possible.

| Video Inputs Digital |
*SDI connections are bidirectional. For 2K/HD, capture and monitoring can be simultaneous. For 4K/UltraHD with 12G-SDI, capture and monitoring can also be simultaneous. For 4K/UltraHD with 3G-SDI, all four connections must be used for either Input or Output. Additionally, 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI configured inputs support UltraHD / 4K only. **Bit depth support is application dependent. Check with your software manufacturer for compatibility. |
