Kona2 or LHe

[Bob Zelin]

either product will. If it was my money, it would be the combo of the
AJA Kona 2 and AJA I/O (because you want to match the Adrenaline box, which has full composite and component video I/O with the ability to UP CONVERT the SD video to HD).

The Kona LHe will NOT allow for HD upconversion.

Can these be used together?

[Steve Covello]

Yes. Though not literally at the same, AFIK. Be sure to set your Control Panel settings before you startup FCP for either device.

Keep in mind that the Kona2 and LHe will not go in the same system. Kona2 is a PCI-X card and LHe is the PCI Express. If you want to buy a new card for your existing G5 or the PCI-X Dual 2.7, you can go ahead with the Kona2 or the LH PCIX card. But for the New Dual Cores, your options are LHe and/or the IO not the Kona2. As for right now, there are no current Kona2 product for the PCIe. As Bob pointed out that Kona2 is great for upconverting and LH series do not allow for that (although they have downconvert). As for Kona2 and IO working together? Works like a charm! All analogs to IO and then Digital/HD to Kona2. One of the workflows that I have tested uses IO Easy Setups for all Analog inputs for capture and then switch to Kona2 Setups for editing. Seemed to be more ‘smoother’ using the Kona2 Setups. Being a PCI card as oppose to FW box its more responsive. But Kona2 + IO, 100% Go! You won’t regret it!
Hope it helps
