From Release : | 2014.2 |
Digital Vision Nucoda, Phoenix and Loki support the AJA Kona 3G and Kona 4 video board for monitoring only.
We support AJA models :
- Kona 3G - PCIe x4
- Kona 4 - PCIe x8
If you experience problems setting up video modes or see unexpected output, check the application console for useful information.
Connections
The basic I/O connections are shown below. Further detail can be found in the AJA documentation.
SDI
The default AJA connections are two inputs (1,2) and two outputs (3,4).
For standard formats (SD,HD) we use the two output ports only (3,4). For 4K and UHD monitoring requirements, we use all four ports :
SD / HD formats : | SDI 3 + SDI 4 |
4K / UHD formats : | SDI 1 + SDI 2 + SDI 3 + SDI 4 |
Stereo | Left eye = SDI 3
Right eye = SDI 4 RGB mode in stereo needs 3g (level b) connection. No 4K with stereo. |
HDMI
- The Kona 3G supports 2K over HDMI
- The Kona 4 supports 4K over HDMI
- Stereo over HDMI is not supported (left eye output only)
4K
4K modes are output over all four SDI ports as quad segments :
12 Bit Modes
12 bit output is supported in dual-link only. Not available for 4K or stereo.
Driver / Firmware
The Digital Vision application bundles the tested and supported AJA driver installer. The AJA installer runs when you select Install AJA Kona video driver in the Digital Vision application install options.
You may also be prompted to update the card firmware. You should proceed with this update.
Restart your system to complete the installation.
Check Installation
Once restarted, check the installation.
AJA have a package version (e.g. 10.6.1) and a driver version (e.g. 11.3.4.34). See the AJA Drivers page for details of packages and versions installed.
Driver
Check that the AJA driver has been updated :
- My Computer / Right-Click : Device Manager
- Sound, video and game controllers
- Select the AJA video device, right-click : Properties
For driver version, see the AJA Drivers page.
Firmware
We need to check that we are using the right firmware mode and change if necessary.
