Intrigued? Like other members of the KONA family, KONA 3 is designed for no-holds-barred design and editing—with support for Apple Final Cut Studio—plus hardware acceleration for the DVCPROHD and HDV codecs, and Dynamic RT Extreme effects in Final Cut Pro 5. KONA 3, the new standard bearer for quality, flexibility, and future-safe architecture in a QuickTime I/O card.

The K3-Box for KONA 3 simplifies interfacing by offering a 19-inch, 1RU rack-mountable breakout box that attaches to the KONA 3 with just two cables. This option offers all the same inputs and outputs as the standard breakout cable, and can be easily rack-mounted or placed on top of a broadcast monitor or editing desk.
