Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
KONA X Key Features
• Fast, 4-lane PCIe 3.0 I/O card, designed for today's most demanding video and
audio workflows.
• Works with HFR 4K/UltraHD, 2K/HD, SD, Deep Color and/or HDR.
• Supports 10-bit 4:2:2 and 4:4:4, or 12-bit* color spaces for pristine imagery.
• Dual 12G, full size BNC, bi-directional 12G-SDI connections.
• Dual full-size HDMI connections, one for input and one for output.
• Streaming DMA (Direct Memory Access) API - Application developers can
bypass on-card memory and pass data directly between the video I/O and
computer buffer. This enables applications that support this API to achieve
as low as sub-frame latencies, and a better method of dealing with dynamic
video (wandering frame rates, etc.)
• VESA HDMI I/O Support - Support for VESA Computer Display Monitor Timing
(DMT) enables the video subsystem to be more agnostic w/ respect to video
timing, thus allowing capture and playback of many more HDMI formats. This
allows HDMI outputs from computer and video game devices.
• Flexibility to ingest and output with 12G/6G/3G-SDI and monitor with a full-
size HDMI 2.0 port.
• Bidirectional 12G-SDI ports provide flexibility for capture and simultaneous
pass through, and with the appropriate software, multi-channel capture and
streaming.
• For HDR workflows, KONA X supports HDR10 and HLG for rich color delivery
over HDMI 2.0.
• KONA X supports Dolby Vision HDR with the appropriate 3rd party software.
• Three year warranty
• Operates with (optional) KONA Xpand IO expansion board
NOTE: *Bit depth is application dependent.
