Kona Question
Hey guys. Posted this over in the AJA Kona Forum earlier, but didn’t get any responses…
My company has a couple of Kona cards that were bought before I got here. I just looked at the instruction manual that came with them and it is entitled “Kona SD Instruction Manual”. Now we have had them for a while and I don’t know if the “LS” is the newer version of the card we have or the same thing? The reason that I ask is because I would like to update the drivers and codecs, but I only see udates for LS and Kona2, and want to make sure that if I update using the LS updates it isn’t going to be the wrong thing. Plus we are still using the Blackmagic codecs. Has anyone got anything to say on how the AJA codecs compare to the BMD codecs? Is it worth switching?
Thanks in advance,

Did you call or email AJA Tech Support direct? I honestly don’t know the answer to that one as I run the Kona 2 which is outstanding.

Yeah…I emailed AJA, but I guess I am just impatient 🙂

I just updated from Kona SD a week ago. I used the Blackmagic drivers for Decklink for the Kona SD. I think it was version 4.7.1. Only trouble with it was the RAM preview in After Effects. Apart from that they worked perfectly. Look for the drivers on the Blackmagic website
