Supporting native 10-bit uncompressed resolution, KONA LH provides optimum quality for SD and HD, the highest available quality based on SMPTE SDI standards. KONA LH also supports various codecs such as DVCPROHD, HDV playback, DV50, and many more, with hardware acceleration on-board for the playback of DVCPROHD, HDV, and Apple's Dynamic RT Extreme. This unique acceleration frees up the G5 to do more, such as more RT.
