Choose Your KONA:


Choose Your NLE:


Adobe® Creative Suite® 6 Production Premium software is the high-performance toolset with everything you need to create productions for virtually any screen. Avoid workflow bottlenecks with tight integration between Adobe Premiere® Pro, After Effects,® and Photoshop®; easy project exchange with other NLEs; and amazing performance optimizations including the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine. Efficient video and audio workflows make it possible to work at the speed of your imagination. Manage footage from conception to completion with Adobe Prelude for on-set logging and ingest and Adobe SpeedGrade for color grading and finishing. Deeply integrated and efficient, CS6 Production Premium gives you tools that help your work flow. With CS6, Adobe has implemented a new SDK architecture called Adobe Mercury Transmit, which allows the AJA plug-in to have more direct access to the core software. Additionally, users will now use native Premiere Pro sequence presets in order to use their AJA hardware. This results in a much more consistent experience for users.

Or, choose Master Collection...


Adobe® Creative Suite® 6 Master Collection software is the ultimate design environment for realizing your creative vision. Use industry-leading tools with unlimited creative possibilities, precision, and power to capture and develop your ideas. Deliver for print, the web, tablets, smartphones, and the silver screen. Build standards-based websites and mobile applications, design for the latest platforms and devices, and work with pristine-quality video in native formats. Intuitive interfaces and blazing-fast performance allow swift work on your most complex projects. Create amazing interaction, tell stories, and inspire your audiences with complete experiences that go anywhere. And it’s all yours, for one great price.

KONA also works seamlessly with these fine NLE's:



The current family of KONA cards support Avid Media Composer 6, NewsCutter 10 and Symphony 6 with the addition of Avid Open I/O enabling support for third-party audio and video interfaces. With KONA, Avid editors can have access to very cost-effective, high quality video I/O.


Extend Your Connectivity with KONA Breakout Box
The optional breakout box and cables allow KONA cards to integrate easily into rack environments, enabling quick access to all video and audio connections without having to get at the back of the tower computer. Additional functionality over the standard breakout cable comes in the form of additional audio connections and monitoring jacks.
