2K Workflow
Hi there,
I’ve a question regarding to the 2K capabilities of the Kona 3.
What we need for the next project is a workstation that can handles 2K DPX Files in the 1:1,85 format.
From the filmscanning process we will get the full 35mm frame in 2048×1556 pixels in bit lin or log.
On the output sided we need the 1:1,85 aspect ratio which means 2048x1107pixel @ 24fps.
In the specifications I read:
2048 x 1556psf 23.98
2048 x 1080p 24So my question are:
1. Is it not possible to playback 2048 x 1556 @ 24fps?
2. Are there no possibilities for aspect ratios other than 2048 x 1556 and 2048×1080 ?
Thanks in advance.

Aja has a white paper on their website with a good overview

Yes it can, however most modern post workflow is based on 23.98 so that you have a realtime conversions to video and correct sync for audio.
“Are there no possibilities for aspect ratios other than 2048 x 1556 and 2048×1080 ?”
those are the acquisition frame sizes, there are a couple of great tips for various output formats by using the DS keyer function in the Kona Control panel and by using a Mask file created in photoshop you can output various frames to tape.
