AJA Kona files need conversion

For the record, both Kona and Blackmagic use the Apple 8 and 10-bit codecs and have for nearly three years now. So, you should only need to have Quicktime installed on your computer in order to use the files that were sent to you. However, as Luke mentioned, you can install the Kona codecs without one of their cards or other devices.

I thought it was just the 4:2:2 uncompressed YUV codecs that were already installed?

Nope- sorry David you missed the RGB in his note, those are only available form AJA.

Yes the standard 10bit UC codecs are Apple’s, but the RGB are Aja’s
