Overview
The AJA KONA series brings the highest quality 2K, HD, and SD video and audio to a Windows
workstation.
This manual discusses the KONA for PC software plug-ins that provide powerful
features to Windows video applications. Although this manual is written for the Windows
plug-ins, it also applies to AJA Mac Plug-ins for Adobe which run under OSX Snow Leopard
(the screens and functions are mostly identical).
XENA Compatibility For owners of AJA’s XENA capture cards, the KONA for PC software fully supports XENA
hardware. The XENA product line has been folded into our award-winning KONA line., to
supply both PC and Mac users with a single set of cross-platform solutions. XENA and KONA
have long used the same industry-leading hardware with tailored software unique to each
platform. To add value for customers, we are now packaging each KONA card with both Mac
and PC software, so they can be used on either platform—or both. The hardware and
software are the same. The name and package has changedto provide twice the software and
ease-of-use on all platforms.
The following table provides XENA-to-KONA model name changes.
