For ease of use, KONA LHe also includes hardwaresample-rate conversion on AES inputs - eliminating sourcesynchronizing requirements.
Looking for unsurpassed analog and digital connectivity? Look nofurther. KONA LHe and LSe include cables to connect to almostany device. For SDI video, these cards feature one input and twooutputs (the KONA LSe is SD-only; KONA LHe can be configuredindependently for HD or SD), one connection for Genlock input,and three BNCs which may be configured for analog video inputand output (SD-only for LSe, HD or SD on LHe). Also included isa 9-pin connector for RS-422 machine control.
Because the KONA LHe supports analog component HD inputand output, devices with analog HD output, such as HDV decksand even game consoles, can be connected to the KONA LHefor a variety of workflows.
The optional breakout box for KONA LHe and KONA LSesimplifies connectivity in professional post-productionenvironments by offering a 19-inch, 1RU rack-mountablebreakout box that attaches to the KONA card.
