With the KONA IP technology, AJA is pushing the industry forward today, and helping to build the platform for IP connected workflows in the future.
IP is a very exciting development for all of our customers, and offers an array of options for simplifying workflows, said David Colantuoni, Sr. Director of Product Management at Avid. AJAs KONA capture cards have been a reliable solution for video and audio I/O for many years for Avid Media Composer and Pro Tools , and we look forward to continued support of KONA IP as those customers migrate to IP-based workflows.
We look forward to supporting KONA IP as an output card with our EDIUS nonlinear real-time editing system, said Mike Cronk, Senior VP of Strategic Marketing, Grass Valley. IP-based workflows promise some very interesting developments for the editing world, and were pleased to support AJA in their move into this space.
AJA has joined Sonys IP Live Alliance, and Nextera Video will be demonstrating their FPGA IP core at the Sony stand during NAB, showcasing playout of an UltraHD 59.94p Networked Media Interface stream of Sony IP Live Production System over KONA IP. Our customers are increasingly looking to IP as an efficient, cost-effective way to achieve consistent, pristine video streams throughout the entire live production chain, said Ryosuke Hayashi, Deputy Senior General Manager, Sony. As the migration from SDI to IP continues to gain momentum, we welcome AJA into our IP Live Alliance and will work with them to make KONA IP support Sony IP Live.
Ventuz will be demonstrating their real-time graphics, authoring and playout control software at the AJA booth during NAB.
