MillimeterAJA announces KONA LHe 10-bit capture card for new Apple PCI Express Power Macs
Oct 20, 2005 5:31 PM
AJA Video, a leading manufacturer of professional video interface and conversion solutions, today announced the KONA LHe, a new PCI Express version of the popular KONA LH. Identical in feature set to the KONA LH released a month ago, the KONA LHe is a 10-bit uncompressed video capture card that supports editing on the new PCI Express Apple Power Macs with Final Cut Studio. Reinforcing the company's commitment to supporting the latest hardware upgrades, AJA is introducing the KONA LHe as Apple prepares to debut its new PCI Express line of Power Macs. KONA LHe is the only PCI Express (PCIe) card available for OS X and Final Cut Studio that provides a cost-effective, single-card HD/SD analog and digital I/O solution with the broadcast quality for which AJA is known.
"PCI Express is much more than a new interface slot‹it is an entirely new motherboard architecture with dramatically improved bandwidth," commented John Abt, CEO, AJA Video Systems. "The combination of Apple's incredible new Power Mac, and AJA's KONA LHe will bring a new level of performance to desktop digital video."
KONA LHe will ship worldwide on October 31, 2005, with a list price of $1,790. KONA LHe has the same feature set as the KONA LH, but with the new high-performance PCI Express bus interface for use in Apple's new line of Power Macs. The KONA LH remains available for non PCI-Express applications.
