Kona 2 and DVCPRO 50

[nevo] “true or a vicious rumour? thanks”

Vicious rumor. I’m just checking all my Easy Setups and there are multiple AJA Kona 2 DVCPro 50 easy setups, including the ability to capture 8 or 10 bit sources to the DVCPro 50 codec.

I don’t use it as an HD monitor, just for computer / FCP work. I have a Sony PVM20L5/1 that I use for HD and then a consumer HD Plasma screen, 42″ for a larger display. I don’t really have any plans for the Cinema Display to be used for HD right now. If I really want a high quality display, I’ll probably go with a pro plasma display from panasonic at some point.

Switching to the Kona 2 will be the easiest decision you’ll make coming from a CineWave based system.
