Tech Specs

KONA XM represents a new generation of I/O technology from AJA that allows medical OEM developers to leverage streaming DMA (Direct Memory Access) to ensure ultra-low latency for the most mission-critical video applications, including surgical and medical video hardware devices. KONA XM is designed to be the heart of the next generation medical video technology solutions.

KONA XM is a 4-lane, PCIe 3.0 video I/O card with dual 12G-SDI BNC connections, one for input and one for output, and two full-sized HDMI 2.0 connections, one for input and one for output. KONA XM provides an ultra-low latency design, which enables powerful real time workflows with no perceptible delay on I/O and processing.

KONA XM lets OEM developers achieve sub-frame latencies with GPUDirect DMA; the ability to transfer data from host memory into a hardware accelerator and stream the results back to host memory without using local FPGA memory as a temporary buffer.

KONA XM supports video healthcare innovation by developing world-class video devices that are ideally suited for OEM customers looking for reliable, best-in-class video I/O technology.
