  • choosing Kona card for multiple audio streams

    Posted by Anshul Doshi on December 8, 2006 at 9:34 pm

    Dear All

    Currently I am setting up a FCP setup for a client to edit a feature film.

    I have a client who is hooting on HDCAM and will have Beta rushes also of a feature film

    I am deciding the correct caputre card.

    Perfect solution if I had all money is Kona3 with the breakout box

    The main consideration in the selection is the following:
    a) He needs to capture 4 streams of audio and monitor 4 or more streams of audio

    Is this possible with the Kona LH with a breakout box?

    Thanks and Regards

    Yes, via SDI the Kona LH can capture 8 channels of audio. 2 channels of Analog Audio.

    If you’re setting up a new Mac Pro machine or a G5 Quad, you will require the Kona LHe model.

    According to the specs it will output 2 channels of analog, but I know it can output 8 channels via SDI. Call AJA and they’ll definitely tell you how to set it up for the 4 channel output you need.

    But yes, this can be set up. We output 4 channels all the time from our Kona 3 for mastering via SDI direct to the decks.
