All SMPTE ST 2110 configuration, control, and timing functions (NMOS and PTPv2) are handled on the KONA IP25, independent of the host computer with configuration and control options for either In-Band (media network via SFPs) or Out-of-Band (control network via RJ-45) capability.

NMOS enables discovery, registration, and control within software defined video networking environments via IS-04 and IS-05.

KONA IP25 is designed to fit into any ST 2110 infrastructure, bridging the familiar KONA experience that professionals rely on for critical work into ST 2110 workflows. The KONA IP25 offers support for the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards:

• ST 2110-10 (System Timing)
• ST 2110-20 (Uncompressed video)
• ST 2110-21 (Traffic shaping for Uncompressed Video)
• ST 2110-30 (PCM Audio)
• ST 2110-40 (Ancillary Data)

Further, the KONA IP25 supports ST 2022-7 for both Rx and Tx via the dual 25G SFPs to provide hitless redundancy and ensure peace of mind for broadcast ingest and playout scenarios.

Developers who wish to use AJA’s world class SDK (Software Development Kit) can choose between two different methods to gain access and start putting their creativity to work with this rich, deep, and powerful set of video technologies. AJA’s SDK is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS, including support for the latest Apple silicon.

For the quickest and easiest way to get up and running with the core AJA SDK, we recommend the AJA Open Source Developer path, which is under the MIT license and hosted via GitLab.

For access to the AJA SDK, including AJA proprietary technologies and world class support, we recommend the AJA Developer Program path. This is accessed via the dedicated AJA SDK Developer page and requires a signed agreement.

It is entirely possible for a developer to begin on the AJA Open Source Developer path, and, if necessary, in the future, apply to enroll in the AJA Developer Program path.

AJA Desktop Software is optimized for the latest Apple silicon with native support for AJA macOS drivers, application plug-ins, AJA Control Room, AJA Control Panel, and AJA System Test.

Supports macOS, Windows, and Linux Ubuntu / Rocky. Please see Release Notes for details and version information which can be found in the Downloads, Software tab.

KONA IP25 keyer overlays foreground over background. Depicted here, an ST 2110 source is used as background, and server playout is used as foreground (such as a weather widget or news banner). Another method is to overlay an ST 2110 foreground over an ST 2110 background.

Use your KONA IP25 on macOS, Windows, or Linux to playback any file to ST 2110. Depicted here are the two control networks, In-Band and Out-of-Band, showing the redundant control capability.

Download Workflow

Connect your KONA IP25 via an SMPTE ST 2110 network to cameras that feature ST 2110 direct playout. Long SDI or fiber cable runs will be a thing of the past with the ability to directly ingest uncompressed UltraHD into your video infrastructure via the KONA IP25.
