KONA 3 vs. KONA LHi

[Ramona Howard]

The SDI to HDMI converter (Hi5) has been out a bit, thus the need for the confirmation. The manual makes no mention of which HDMI spec is being used.

We all must learn to question and research for the facts, even if information is coming from our friends 🙂

Good information is hard to find BUT bad information spreads like wildfire.

NEVER assume that something is correct because “it should” follow a standard. Ha….we know those rules are being broken left and right!

AJA is fortunately one of the companies you can turn to, to get accurate information with what they are doing.

Cheers,

good point.

the original Hi5 only supported the HDMI 1.1 spec (as the IoHD does) that does not support the deep color space, hence the reason for the new upgraded model Hi5 3G that now does support the HDMI 1.3 space.

FYI – the vast majority of the HDMI tools on the market currently do not support the HDMI 1.3 specs- like FW – all HDMI is not the same.

Hopefully we’ll see a card next product cycle that gives us the 2-4K processing throughput and the analog I/O of an LHi.

Thanks for the replies everyone. AJA are making it pretty clear all their new stuff supports 10-bit and RGB over HDMI. I’m assuming the same is true over SDI, but I’m not certain. They state support for SMPTE424M. I’m not sure whether that could be used solely to denote 4:2:2 50/60p or whether RGB support is necessarily included in it…
