Types of KONA IP Firmware
AJA Desktop Software can provide the KONA IP with three different personalities,
or modes of operation.
• SMPTE ST 2022-6 operation (s2022) uses the KonaIP s2022 firmware bitfile
• SMPTE ST 2110 operation (s2110) uses the KonaIP s2110 firmware bitfile
Switching between these different KONA IP operating modes requires loading
the appropriate firmware bitfile as listed above.
By default, newly purchased KONA IP hardware will come pre loaded with ST 2022
firmware. Loading the s2110 bitfile will provide that functionality.
Unicast and Multicast Support
KONA IP supports both unicast and multicast operation. Unicast operation is
point to point, from one sender to one receiver. Multicast operation is from
one sender to possibly multiple receivers. In both cases, the sender transmits
information to a location (IP address) on the network, and receivers access that
information over the network using that location IP address. Compatible IP
addresses are required for each type of operation. These network settings filter
the IP addresses so the information is sent successfully to the desired receiver(s).
IMPORTANT: Proper network configuration settings vary, depending on your particular
network environment. Because the process can be complicated, you should
always consult with your facility's IP or Networking Engineering department
before configuring KONA IP network settings.
Listed below are example sets of compatible IP addresses that could be used in
an isolated network to test KONA network operation.
