AJA K3-Box Breakout Box for KONA 3

The K3-Box Breakout Box for KONA 3 will help simplify your interfacing issues by offering a 19-inch, rack-mountable breakout box that attaches to the KONA 3 with just 5 cables. This box 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.

This box offers XLR and BNC AES output, 2-channel RCA analog audio monitoring, and looping BNC Genlock reference connectors. You can independently switch between HD and SD with the K-box since there are two HD/SD SDI video outputs and a component analog output. With this feature SD analog can be configured as composite.
