IBC2024: AJA – KONA IP25
Once again, AJA didn’t disappoint at IBC2024. The oven-fresh KONA IP25 delivers the power, quality, reliability, and ease of use of the KONA family to support transitions from SDI to SMPTE ST 2110 workflows.
The KONA IP25 is an 8-lane PCIe Gen 4.0, SMPTE ST 2110 IP I/O card supporting bidirectional uncompressed video. KONA IP25 has two SFP cages that support 10 and 25 Gigabit Ethernet (10/25 GigE) SFPs and also includes a 1 GigE RJ-45 connector.
The KONA IP25 is a complete solution for SMPTE ST 2110 processing with onboard PTP and NMOS control. To your computer, the KONA IP25 appears as any other KONA card which carries the control load, so it’s not placed on the host PC. ST 2110 Configuration and Control is supported by both In-Band (media network via SFPs) and Out-of-Band (control network via RJ-45).
On the desktop, KONA IP25 transparently supports Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Avid Media Composer, AJA Control Room, OBS, and other leading editorial, effects, and production tools via AJA’s robust and feature-rich Desktop Software.
For creative users, the experience with your favorite tools stays the same, with AJA Control Panel additions ensuring a smooth transition to ST 2110. For developers, the AJA SDK used for KONA I/O cards also supports KONA IP25, simplifying application development for SMPTE ST 2110 workflows.
