AJA en IBC 2023: Kona X, HDR Image Analyzer 12G 3.0...

The new Kona AJA will present at IBC 2023 from September 15 to 18.

Compatible with the new AJA Desktop Software v17 and version 17 of AJA's world-class software development kit (SDK), DRIVE Kona X is a 4-lane PCIe 3.0 card that delivers ultra-low latency video capture and playback for applications spanning media and entertainment, live production, OEM development, etc. Combining dual bidirectional connections BNC 12G-SDI full size and HDMI 2.0 dual, Kona X has all the tools necessary to meet a wide range of I/O demands.

Among the most notable features of the Kona integrated stream DMA, which allows users to achieve latency as low as sub-frame for crucial tasks involving video I/O, whether with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) or for gaming, augmented reality (AR) graphics, overlays or other tasks that require instant performance. Robust, full-size I/O streamline installation while providing greater card longevity, and visible status LEDs on the Kona X motherboard offer intuitive connection and status reporting. A microcontroller Built into the firmware allows AJA development partners to leverage the card for almost any use case, while support for the AJA SDK on Windows, Linux, and macOS makes it easy to program and configure Kona X using a familiar toolset. For applications requiring advanced audio, LTC, RS-422 and other functionality, an optional Kona Xpand break-out card is available, which installs in an adjacent PCIe slot.

Kona X also takes advantage of the feature set of the desktop AJA software, including new enhancements to the latest v17 update, such as improved subtitle support, performance improvements for Apple silicon systems, support for Rocky Linux, and much more. Available on macOS, Windows, and Linux, AJA Desktop Software includes robust and reliable application plug-ins for the most popular creative tools, such as Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Apple Final Cut Pro, among others. Also included are the AJA Control Room, Control Panel and System Test applications.

HDR Image Analyzer 12G 3.0

AJA will also premiere at IBC 2023 software 3.0 Del Sistema AJA HDR Image Analyzer 12G, which brings powerful new features to the HDR monitoring and analysis solution. Designed to help professionals keep pace with changing demands in live, on-set, quality assurance (QC) and post-production environments, the free update increases the volume of video channels that can be analyzed simultaneously; integrates new tools Dolby Vision; add connectivity options IS; expands support for the latest color science ARRI with ARRI LogC4 analysis, and improves compatibility with 8K/UHD2 for high resolution workflows.

With v3.0 software, HDR Image Analyzer 12G now supports up to four independent signal analysis channels 4x: 4K/UHD. Each quadrant of the user interface (UI) can be individually configured to present an analysis tool for any of the four channels. The update allows users to access a new four-channel view to monitor each signal simultaneously, with each channel displaying image, waveform and vectorscope, in addition to audio measurement.

In addition to offering multi-channel signal analysis capabilities, HDR Image Analyzer 12G v3.0 introduces dynamic metadata inspection and presentation Dolby Vision, with support for Dolby Vision v4.0 and v2.9, through automatic detection. The enhancement allows users to take an SDI signal with embedded Dolby Vision metadata and display the Dolby Vision metadata in various ways. L1 metadata is presented visually on the waveform as NIT markers and all metadata is displayed in the Dolby Vision metadata analysis tool as readable text. They can also be viewed in real time scene by scene or as metadata is changed in the HDR image analyzer.

Additionally, HDR Image Analyzer 12G v3.0 further expands available device connectivity and offers support for additional camera registration color spaces and more 8K formats. Users can now send signals IT IS 4K/UHD/2K/HD complete images over an Ethernet connection to the HDR Image Analyzer 12G and run them through its robust set of image analysis tools as they would with an SDI signal without external conversion technology, saving space, energy and costs. The feature arrives alongside new native support for ARRI LogC4 analysis and additional support for 8K/UHD2 formats. Now supports 8K 2SI/SQD quad-link YCbCr up to 60 fps, 8K 2SI/SQD quad-link RGB up to 30 fps and 8K dual-link YCbCr up to 30 fps.
