ClassX Integrates AJA KONA IP with New IP Broadcast Graphics Solution.
ClassX
today announced that it has collaborated with AJA Video Systems to
create a new IP graphics solution for live broadcast with AJA´s KONA IP
desktop video and audio I/O card integrated. The intuitive solution
allows users to produce and send high quality 2D and 3D graphics to air,
with KONA IP providing optimized graphics and media output.
Designed
to meet a range of graphics production needs, the system features
ClassX's proprietary graphics software, a custom PC, a KONA IP card, an
NVIDIA graphics card and Intel chips. ClassX's software facilitates
smooth playout of limitless layers of pixel-perfect graphics and media
to the KONA IP, and the company's intuitive LiveBoard v6.2.1 engine
minimizes CPU usage, even when playing out multi-layer, real-time
data-driven graphics.
"AJA is at the forefront of broadcast and
production innovation, and with the game-changing implications of SMPTE
2022/6/7, KONA IP offers our customers an awesome card for implementing
these standards with uncompromised features and advanced speed," said
Michele Puccini, Co-founder and Head of Development, ClassX. "Working
with KONA IP and AJA's intuitive SDK, we've developed a flexible
solution that will allow our customers to create and deliver smooth
graphics over Broadcast IP."
"IP is quickly gaining momentum, and
our alignment with ClassX builds on our promise to continue supporting
the broadcast industry in its transition to IP. ClassX's new system with
KONA IP offers a simple, powerful IP solution for broadcast graphics
production, and it's been a pleasure working with their team on the
integration," said Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video.
