Kona 3 Component video in?

[Andrae Palmer]

I was wondering how you guys with a Kona 3 are able to get Component video in? I noticed that the lhe/lhi has component in and out.. but the Kona 3 has only out. Do you use a editing deck?

I use an AJA HD10AVA converter.

We use Kona LHe's and this is the best reason to get an LHe over a Kona 3. The LHe's have analogue in's.

What are some of the advantages of the Kona 3 over the LHe/LHi? I had the LHe before and am now looking at a Kona 3 specifically for 2k, 4:4:4 dual link sdi. Are those the main differences between the two cards? The lack of HDMI and Component in is bugging me. I would not like to pay even more just to get these capabilities. I was thinking that since mainly pro users have the Kona 3 perhaps the component in was solved through an edit deck.
