In all cases the switch used must be both managed (configurable) and IGMP
aware.
SFPs are not included with the purchase of KONA IP. Recommended SFPs are
listed in
.
LLDP
LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is supported with KONA IP. The Chassis
ID and the Port ID of the first switch encountered upstream in the path from
KONA IP to the network will be displayed in Control Panel within the LLDP Chassis
ID field and LLDP Port ID field. The first upstream switch, in turn, displays the
LLDP information (Chassis ID and Port ID) of the downstream KONA IP.
System Requirements
AJA Video recommends that your system meet minimum hardware and software
requirements to achieve a satisfactory level of performance. Updates to system
requirements are subject to change.
NOTE: See Software Vendor system requirements for GPU recommendations and
additional hardware requirements and recommendations.
See the KONA IP Release Notes, available on the AJA website and also installed
with the software package, for detailed system requirements including OS, CPU,
RAM, and GPU.
For IP installations specifically, AJA recommends:
• IP infrastructure with adequate bandwidth to sustain the capture and
playback of the material you expect to be working with across the number of
systems that are active at any given time
• For multi-seat installations, IP infrastructure that is comprised of fully
managed switches and is in turn supported by a team of qualified network
administrators
• For SMPTE ST 2022-7 implementations, two entirely independent network
infrastructures are required for true redundancy
NOTE: For large scale installations with shared storage, IP, or for very high performance
requirements, AJA recommends consultation with an experienced a system
integrator. A consultant will be able to assist with many important variables.
Disk Storage Methods
To ensure performance and quality, the disk storage system used with
the workstation must be able to meet the demands of storing real-time
uncompressed media. At the very minimum, the disk storage system must be
able to provide and maintain a consistent transfer rate from the workstation to
disk (read/write). There are a variety of system configurations and peripherals that
can provide this level of performance.
