The AJA KONA 5 is a professional video input-output card supporting a wide variety of connection standards. The various inputs allow for recording video, while the output lets you connect a reference monitor independent of the graphics card. This is ideal for displaying your video editing and color correction results full-screen with 10-bit color support, while keeping your main monitor(s) for handling the rest of your workflow. Please note that this is not a standard monitor output. It displays video ONLY from supported software packages and requires a monitor that can run at your project's resolution and frame rate.

William George (Marketing Project Manager) Says:
This card offers a lot of connectivity options for professional video editing and color grading, making it a great add-on for many content creators, but it has an annoyingly loud fan. In situations where the rest of the computer isn't working very hard, and the rest of the cooling fans are spinning fairly slowly, the fan on the KONA 5 will easily be the noisiest part of the computer.
