HDR
HDR or High Dynamic Range, provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colors, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than standard signals allow. This gives your imagery a more ‘dynamic’ look and allows for natural true to life colors to be communicated to your audience.

KONA HDMI provides support for accepting HDR signals captured over HDMI from gaming stations like the PS4® Pro.

 

Extensive Software Support
AJA hardware is supported by an extensive list of professional software for editing, visual effects, graphics, streaming and more allowing the same AJA device to be used by many different applications on the same system. In addition, AJA provides several free applications that enable you to utilize the power of your AJA hardware even without having to run a particular software package. This allows you to create unique workflows without tying up valuable resources unnecessarily.

KONA HDMI is compatible with macOS®, Windows® and Linux.
