Frequently Asked Questions > Capture to Drive FAQ > What codecs do you use?
For our uncompressed captures we are using an AJA Kona2 capture card. The AJA codec for MAC and PC can be downloaded at AJA's site or by clicking on the links on this page.
Mac Users
If you do not have a KONA card in your Macintosh, but need to access AJA KONA QuickTime media files, you can use this KONA QuickTime codec to work with the files.
PC Users
This codec allows media captured via KONA 2, KONA LS, or any of the Io's to be used on Windows machines, for graphics work, etc. The rendered files created on the PC can then be used back on your OSX system and output through your AJA Desktop unit (KONA LS, Io, etc.). The KONA PC Codec covers the following compression formats:
- '2vuy' (aka "Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2")
- '2Vuy' (aka "AJA Kona 2Vuy Codec")
- 'v210' (aka "Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2")
- 'R10k' (aka "AJA Kona 10-bit RGB Codec")
- 'R10g' (aka "AJA Kona 10-bit Log RGB Codec")
