- Double-speed transfer via AJA hardware and AJA software
When used alongside properly equipped Sony HDCAM-SR VTRs (such as the Sony SRW-5800), the AJA KONA 3 capture card
can be configured to ingest material at double normal speed or "DBL" speed. Double-speed transfer requires the use of the AJA
KONA 3 version 7.5 driver (or later) along with the AJA VTR Xchange version 4.1 software (or later).
The AJA VTR Xchange software is a free download from the AJA website. The AJA KONA 3 hardware and AJA VTR Xchange
software, along with the Sony HDCAM-SR VTR, provide this unique workflow to Mac OSX users. Ingested Quick Time file can be
instantly used in Final Cut Pro software.*
*Currently, double-speed ingest control is not supported directly via Apple's Final Cut Pro software.
