KONA HDMI is also supported by both the AJA SDK as well as Video for Linux (V4L2), making it a perfect choice for developers of multichannel HDMI ingest, switching, monitoring and communication solutions.

KONA HDMI offers unique and powerful dual channel 4K/UltraHD capture all the way up to 60p over HDMI 2.0.

For single channel capture, free AJA Control Room software provides the perfect way to capture and create digital media for use in your editing or effects package of choice.

For Mac users, simply place KONA HDMI in a Thunderbolt™ chassis for use with iMac®  and MacBook Pro®.

HDR or High Dynamic Range,  provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colors, 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 colors to be communicated to your audience.

KONA HDMI provides support for accepting HDR signals captured over HDMI from gaming stations like the PS4® Pro.

Using KONA HDMI and AJA Control Room software adds support for HDR metadata capture from an incoming HDMI signal. The captured .mov video file will have embedded HDR metadata, allowing the file to be played back at its intended dynamic range.

Capture real time footage with KONA HDMI over HDMI from high quality cameras, meld your footage with your virtual environment created by the Unreal Engine and send it back out in real time to air  – a growing need for broadcasters, augmented reality (AR) needs and more.

Digital film makers also benefit with these new workflows: On set, enhance your live action VFX work with the ability to see a full composite live during the course of the shoot. This results in fewer reshoots, the ability for actors to understand the virtual environment they are working within for stronger performances and ultimately leads to a range of efficiencies and cost savings with the added benefit of a smoother transition into post production.

AJA hardware is supported by an extensive list of professional software for editing, visual effects, graphics, streaming and more allowing the same AJA device 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 your AJA hardware even without having to run a particular software package. This allows you to create unique workflows without tying up valuable resources unnecessarily.
