8K Transport Modes
Similar to "4K Transport Modes" on page 58), 8K video can be carried on four or
two links, but with 8K each link carries a 4K signal (6G or 12G) instead of an HD
(3G) signal. These 8K signals can also be organized as either Quadrant (Square
Division) or 2SI (Two Sample Interleave).
• Quadrant - Four SDI links are required for a complete image raster. With this
selection on KONA 5, the HDMI output displays one of the quadrants, user
selectable.
• 2SI - Four SDI links (High Frame Rate) or two SDI links (Low Frame Rate) are
required for a full resolution 8K image. Each link carries a down-sampled
version of the entire image raster. With this selection on KONA 5, the HDMI
output displays a down-sampled image of the full raster.

Video Format
KONA 5 operating in 8K Mode adds the following UHD2 and 8K formats:
• UHD2 p23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, 60
• 8K p23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, 60
• YCbCr colorspace, 10-bit up to 60p
• RGB, 12-bit up to 30p
The formats above require use of four or two 12G SDI links. If using four links, you
can choose to either capture or playback these signals with the KONA 5 card.
