AJA Video, a leading manufacturer of
professional video interface and conversion solutions, announced the
KONA LSe, a new PCI-Express version of AJA ¹s affordable solution for quality
analog and digital SD video capture and playback, the KONA LS. The cost
effective KONA LSe is the perfect engine for a professional Final Cut Pro 
editing system. With this announcement, AJA further extends its variety of
product options that support the PCIe G5 systems: the award-winning Io,
IoLA, and IoLD, as well as KONA LSe, KONA LHe and the company ¹s
top-of-the-line KONA 3.

AJA has made a significant investment in the development of its exceptional
KONA hardware, and with KONA LSe, the legendary AJA feature set, quality,
support and reliability is available to professional editors at an
entry-level price point.

“Lowering the barrier for entry in video editing has been a strong mandate
at Apple, and AJA has mirrored this model with the flexible options
available through our highly regarded KONA line,” said Nick Rashby, Director
of Sales and Marketing, AJA. “KONA LSe can be configured with an Apple PCI
Express G5, RAID storage and display devices and produce the same editing
quality as a much higher priced turnkey system.”

KONA LSe will ship worldwide on March 20th, 2006, with a list price of
$995.00 US. KONA LSe has the same feature set as the KONA LS, but with the
new high-performance 4-lane PCI Express (PCIe) bus interface. The KONA LS
remains available for non PCI-Express configurations.
