Hi-

I think you will be pleased, but note that VTR Xchange is a very different app than Machina, with a different feature set and focus. More details to follow upon its release.

Thanks!

Hi Bob-

We are on the verge (next few weeks) of releasing just such an app for Mac, called VTR Xchange…stay tuned.

Hi Erik-

There is a minor bug in KONA TV v1.1.1 with the Animation codec. The fix is to simply go to the “Display” menu, and pull down to RGBA output. KONA TV should then output RGBA Animation files correctly.

Thank you,

Hi-

The analog component out is dual-rate, SD and HD. As Walter said, configure it in the KONA Control Panel as you wish, and KONA will apply any up- or down- convert as may be needed!

Thank you,

We have had stand-alone support since NAB last April. You can find the “Io Control Panel” here:

Notes:

Io Control Panel V1.0.0 with related Firmware

Hi-

The AJA Io is a standard definition (SD) device, so there can be no interaction with HD formats including DVCPRO-HD. If you wish to use that codec, or any other HD format, you may want to consider either the KONA 2 or KONA LH (which is also available now in PCIe for the new G5’s).

Please feel free to contact us with any questions!

Thank you,

Hi Tony-

KONA 2 has been capable of Dual-Link 4:4:4 capture and playback within FCP for the past six months. Perhaps some Cow users can chime in on their experiences with the card.

KONA 2 does some pretty unique things, like 10-bit hardware based up- and down-conversion, that can be applied on input and/or output. Also, KONA 2 hardware accelerates the scaling work on the playback HDV codec in FCP, as well as 720 and 1080 DVCPRO-HD, and we also hadrware acclerate Apple’s Dynamic RT Extreme. This results in more processing power on the G5 which means more RT in FCP. We are the only company that offers this hardware acceleration, which fits perfectly into Apple’s RT design.

Also, recently introduced video+key output on KONA 2, which is a very unique feature.

All in all, KONA 2 is by far the most powerful card available for the Mac and OSX. And we back all that up with an international 3-year warranty (with Advanced Exchange) on all of our desktop products.

We hope you chose to join the AJA/KONA family of users. If you need additional information in your decision, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you,

Chris-

Thanks for the heads-up on these, but we have not tested expansion chassis at this time. Please note that on Magma’s site that their solution is not available yet.

If you wish to discuss your needs, please feel free to call or email us.

Thank you,

Thanks for the feedback, Sarah. Was a little confusing, but we did correct it, as you point out.
