- Uncompressed SMPTE ST 2110-20/30/40 ensures pristine signal integrity
- Dual SFP28 cages with 10/25 GigE plus 1 GigE RJ-45 give versatile connectivity
- Ultra HD 3840 x 2160p at 60fps delivers stunning video clarity
- NMOS IS-04 v1.3 and IS-05 v1.1 enable seamless IP network integration
- PCIe Gen 4.0 x8 bidirectional I/O offloads processing from the host PC
Product Identity
The AJA KONA IP25 is an 8-lane PCIe Gen 4.0 I/O card that converts bidirectional SDI signals to SMPTE ST 2110 IP streams. It targets broadcast engineers and post-production facilities moving existing SDI infrastructure onto 10/25 GigE networks without altering their editorial tools.
Installation Reality
The card fits a standard PCIe slot and appears to the host as a familiar KONA device, so driver handling is unchanged. The two SFP28 cages require separate 10 or 25 GigE transceiver modules, which are not included, and integrators must choose between in-band or out-of-band control via the RJ-45 port.
Capacity and Headroom
Uncompressed Ultra HD at 3840 x 2160p 60fps passes through with ST 2110-20/30/40 compliance and on-board PTP timing. NMOS IS-04 v1.3 and IS-05 v1.1 manage discovery and connection. Workflows needing more than two concurrent 25 GigE streams or resolutions above 2160p will exceed the card’s I/O budget.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the KONA IP25 is passing uncompressed video correctly after installation?
Open AJA Control Panel and verify the active ST 2110-20/30/40 streams show the expected 3840 x 2160p resolution at 60 fps with clean PTP lock and NMOS IS-04 v1.3 / IS-05 v1.1 registration.
What ships with the card and what must I purchase separately?
The KONA IP25 card includes two SFP28 cages and a 1 GigE RJ-45 port; 10/25 GigE SFP modules are not included and must be bought separately.
Which SMPTE ST 2110 standards does this model support for my workflow?
It supports ST 2110-20 for video, ST 2110-30 for audio and ST 2110-40 for ancillary data, all transported over 10/25 GigE with onboard PTP and NMOS control.
