Professional 10-Bit Video I/O Card

The AJA KONA 5 is an 8-lane PCIe 3.0 card built for professional video workflows. It handles 10-bit 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 sampling alongside 12-bit colour spaces. The card supports formats up to 4K at 60p and includes HDR10 and HLG compatibility for high dynamic range delivery.

Installation And Common Issues

The card occupies a standard PCIe slot and draws power directly from the bus. Four bidirectional 12G-SDI ports sit on the bracket alongside a full-size HDMI 2.0 connector and a Reference input. A supplied breakout cable adds AES audio, RS-422 control and additional Reference connections. Ensure the host chassis provides adequate airflow around the bracket.

Pre-Purchase Compatibility Checks

Verify the workstation has a free x8 PCIe 3.0 slot with sufficient lane allocation from the CPU or chipset. Confirm the operating system and editing software support AJA hardware for the intended capture and playout modes. Check that monitoring devices accept 12G-SDI or HDMI 2.0 signals at the required frame rates and colour depths.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the KONA 5 is capturing 10-bit 4:2:2 video at 60p after installation?

Open your capture or monitoring software and verify the input format shows 10-bit 4:2:2 at 4K 60p; the card's status LEDs on the bracket will also indicate a valid 12G-SDI or HDMI 2.0 signal lock.

What cables and accessories are included with the KONA 5, and what must I source separately?

The box contains the PCIe 3.0 card, a breakout cable for AES audio, RS-422 control and Reference In, plus a quick-start guide; you must supply 12G-SDI BNC cables, an HDMI 2.0 cable and a compatible host system with an 8-lane PCIe 3.0 slot.

Which KONA 5 configuration should I choose for 16-channel SDI audio and 8-channel HDMI embedded audio workflows?

The single KONA 5 model described provides 16-channel SDI and 8-channel HDMI embedded audio plus AES/EBU I/O via the breakout cable, covering both requirements without additional versions.
