  • BMD 4k Extreme or AJA Kona 3G-suggestions?

    Posted by Greg Jones on April 17, 2013 at 2:50 pm

    I know this is a loaded question in the BlackMagic Design Forum, but what are the pros and cons to the BMD 4K Extreme vs the Aja Kona 3G? I am currently an AJA customer and I need to upgrade my Mac Pro to a new video output/input card that does 4k. I love the AJA Customer service and support. The BMD 4K Extreme is tempting because it is half the price of the AJA Card. The card I currently have has worked great but AJA have stopped supporting it. Having no experience with Blackmagic, I would be interested in peoples opinions.

    Decklink half the price of kona
    Kona does full film 4k, decklink only uhd 4k
    Decklink works with resolve
    Kona works with adobe
    Kona uses only one slot for hdmi, decklink needs two
    Decklink half the price of kona, and it works with resolve
