While working on high-resolution video projects in Assimilate SCRATCH, you can send a 4K video feed through AJA's KONA 4 PCI Express interface with this B&H Kit. As opposed to going directly out from your computer's graphics card, the KONA 4 can connect to professional 4K displays and projectors with HDMI or SDI inputs to accurately display the results of your color corrections and grade. This setup is not only for displaying video but it can also be used to ingest SD, HD, or 4K footage over SDI or HDMI, or for processing footage with your computer in real time. The version of SCRATCH included in this kit is a perpetual license with 1-Year of support.Additional Connectivity An included 60-pin breakout cable provides additional inputs and outputs for AES/EBU digital audio, LTC, reference, analog component video, and RS-422 machine control. Also included are a 4-BNC to mini-BNC Link cable and an HDMI to mini-HDMI cable. The KONA 4 can also be used in a rackmount configuration with the optional K3G Breakout Box. The K3G fits in a standard 19" rack space and has connections to take advantage of all the I/O the KONA 4 has to offer.4K High Frame Rate (HFR) Support The KONA 4 supports 50p and 60p at up to 4K resolutions. 4K can be input or output by using all four BNC connections for broadcast and professional hardware, or the HDMI port to connect to 4K computer monitors or consumer hardware such as televisions.Versatile Integration KONA 4 supports both Windows and Linux, providing 4K and multi-channel power for a wide range of applications. Mac support will be made available in the future.Hardware Keying The built-in hardware downstream keyer allows graphics and images to be overlaid on the input video to the card for overlays. The hardware processing provides the necessary computing power to create a key quickly without prior rendering.Hardware Conversion The KONA 4 performs hardware up, down, cross-conversion to unify resolutions. Hardware conversion simplifies workflows and eliminates the need to adjust resolution using software. If your project is in 1080p resolution and you have standard definition NTSC content, the internal scaler will process and up-convert the NTSC footage to match the 1080p resolution of the project. If the NTSC footage has a different aspect ratio (4:3), you can choose how you want the KONA 4 to process it. It can be processed with letterboxing, or anamorphic stretching to fit the 16:9 HD frame. Because this conversion is done with the KONA's hardware, it happens in real time, so no prior rendering is needed.
