Overview

KONA IP25 delivers the power, quality, reliability, and ease of use of the KONA family to support the latest SMPTE ST 2110 workflows. The KONA IP25 is an 8-lane PCIe Gen 4.0, SMPTE ST 2110 IP I/O card supporting bidirectional uncompressed video. KONA IP25 has two SFP cages that support 10 and 25 Gigabit Ethernet (10/25 GigE) SFPs and also includes a 1 GigE RJ-45 connector.

The KONA IP25 is your complete solution for SMPTE ST 2110 processing with onboard PTP and NMOS control. To your computer, the KONA IP25 appears like any other KONA card and carries the control load, so it’s not placed on the host PC. ST 2110 configuration and control is supported by both In-Band (media network via SFPs) and Out-of-Band (control network via RJ-45).

Via AJA’s proven and reliable device drivers and application plug-ins, KONA IP25 transparently supports Apple® Final Cut Pro, Adobe® Premiere® Pro CC, Avid® Media Composer®, AJA Control Room, and other leading editorial, effects, and production tools on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

For creative users, the operational experience of using your favorite creative tool remains unchanged, and with AJA Control Panel additions to set up capture and playout, you are assured to have a seamless expansion into ST 2110.

For Developers, the same AJA SDK used for baseband KONA I/O cards is also used for KONA IP25, offering an easy way to develop applications and create systems for SMPTE ST 2110 workflows.

Throughput

KONA IP25 supports multiple ST 2110 uncompressed video streams, up to 4K and UltraHD 59.94/60 over IP via dual 25 GigE SFP cages. This is complemented by support for up to 16-channels of audio, and ancillary data.

Complete Control

All SMPTE ST 2110 configuration, control, and timing functions (NMOS and PTPv2) are handled on the KONA IP25, independent of the host computer with configuration and control options for either In-Band (media network via SFPs) or Out-of-Band (control network via RJ-45) capability.

NMOS enables discovery, registration, and control within software defined video networking environments via IS-04 and IS-05.
