AJA Unveils Ultra-Low Latency KONA X and Desktop Software v17

Compatible with new AJA Desktop Software v17 and version 17 of AJA’s world-class software development kit (SDK), AJA KONA X is a 4-lane PCIe 3.0 card offering ultra-low latency video capture and playback for applications spanning media and entertainment, live production, OEM development, and more. Combining bi-directional dual, full size BNC 12G-SDI and dual HDMI 2.0 connections, KONA X boasts all the tools required to meet a broad range of I/O demands.

AJA KONA X and Desktop Software v17 will be on display at AJA’s IBC stand (7.C19) in Amsterdam from September 15-18.

Among KONA X’s standout feature highlights is built-in Streaming DMA, which lets users achieve as low as sub-frame latency for crucial tasks involving video I/O – whether assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) or for gaming, augmented reality (AR) graphics, overlays, or other tasks that require instantaneous performance.

Robust, full size I/O streamlines installation while providing extended card longevity, and visible status LEDs on the KONA X backplane to ensure intuitive connection and status reporting.

An In-Firmware MicroController allows AJA Developer Partners to leverage the card for nearly any use case while support for the AJA SDK on Windows, Linux, and macOS makes it easy to program and configure the KONA X using a familiar toolset.
