description

AJA KONA-5 12G-SDI I/O, 10-bit PCIe card, HDMI 2.0 output w/ HFR support (ATX Power) is designed for demanding video and audio editing workflows. It features four bidirectional 12G-SDI HD-BNC connectors supporting up to HFR 8K video ingest and output. It also has an HDMI 2.0 output for monitoring and includes a breakout cable for AES audio input/output, LTC timecode input/output, and RS-422 control.


The bidirectional SDI connectors allow for simultaneous capture and monitoring. 12G-capable, the connectors also provide less points of failure while offering 6G/3G/1.5G backwards-compatibility. The KONA 5 also has a built-in hardware downstream keyer that allows graphics and images to be easily overlaid on the input video in real time.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        How long will it take for my order to arrive?

        This can be as fast as 1-2 business days on the eastern seaboard, and 3-5 business days to the western seaboard.

        However , shipping times vary depending on the location of our distributors (all are based in Australia), your delivery address (metro, regional or rural), and any network disruptions that may be occurring (for example, delays due to extreme weather events).

        If you need your order urgently, or by a specific date, please Contact us so we can find a solution that works best for you.

        You will receive tracking information for all orders so you can keep an eye on the delivery status too.

        What are your shipping options?

        Our items are typically shipped directly from our distributors to you.

        In most cases, this means there is only one shipping option available, which is typically the most efficient and cost-effective delivery method available. It also means your order may arrive in multiple packages from multiple carriers.

        If we have already started processing your order, or you've already received it, please read our Change of Mind policy.
