One of the keys to this system is the integrated stream DMA, a key that allows users to achieve sub-frame latency for critical tasks that involve video I/O, such as processes with IA, augmented reality graphics o overlays, among other tasks that require instant performance.

Other key features of the Kona Angle X; he microcontroller included in the firmware, allowing AJA development partners to leverage the card for different use cases; its dual connections BNC 12G-SDI full size, or the inclusion of a port HDMI 2.0 dual.

Other AJA news at IBC 2023

Beyond the Kona 3.0 del HDR Image Analyzer, an update free which increases the volume of video channels that can be analyzed simultaneously; integrates new tools Dolby Vision; adds NDI connectivity options; expands support for the latest color science ARRI with ARRI LogC4 analysis, and improves 8K/UHD support (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) for high-resolution workflows. Additionally, the system now supports up to four independent signal analysis channels 4x: 4K/UHD.

On the other hand, AJA is showing its new cards for the first time 12G-SDI. Built to support high-resolution, high-frame-rate (HFR) workflows, the AJA OG-12G-AM and OG-12G-AMA integrate sixteen channels (eight two-channel pairs) of AES and analog audio keying/dekeying respectively, and support 12G-SDI input and output up to 4K/UltraHD. On the other hand, the Hi5-12G and OG-HA5-12G facilitate conversion from 12G-SDI to/from HDMI, and are also available in LC and ST fiber models. All of this equipment has been created for use in racks openGear 2RU high density, including AJA OG-X-FR.
