KONA IP provides a powerful hardware keyer that can place graphic files with an alpha
channel over video in a selectable matte or the contents of the card's framebuffer from a
software application (including AJA TV). Key a bug or text over picture and avoid what
might normally be a lengthy software render. Also, working with these software
applications, you can key video that has an alpha-channel over video input or a matte.
For example, you can load a QuickTime clip that has an alpha-channel (a flying logo
generated in the Animation codec) into AJA TV and then place it over live video coming
into the card and then passing both on to a VTR for recording or broadcast.
KONA offers unsurpassed cable connectivity for a video/audio capture card. Connections
are made via the breakout cable (included with the card) and connectors mounted on
the KONA Card endplate. These connectors, for all three KONA models, are illustrated on
the following pages.
The Breakout cable used for both KONA LHi and LHe Plus models provides:
• Reference Input (BNC connector)
