KONA 3 Installation and Operation Manual — Using The KONA 3 Control
Input Select Screen
KONA 3 Control Panel, Inputs Screen
On the Inputs screen you can view the currently selected video and audio input sources and
map audio sources to the channels supported by your third-party editing application. Two
information panes in the screen are provided: Video Input and Audio Input.
Input Select Screen Settings
Video Input
—the pulldown menu allows you to see and change what's currently selected and
the video format that KONA 3 has detected (if any). In the example shown previously, it
shows that video is selected at the SDI 1 input and the format is 1080i with a frame rate of
29.97. Since this text is shown in blue, you can tell that it does match the framebuffer's
primary format you've set in the “Formats” screen. By looking at the input source, you can
determine how the primary format should likely be set (unless you want to perform a
conversion on input.) If you wish to select a different input you can do so by selecting a
different menu item or you may want to select Dual Link if your source is 4:4:4 RGB.
Audio Input
—This pulldown menu allows you to pick where the audio comes from. KONA 3
supports up to 8 channels of embedded digital audio, so you can choose out of the 16
channels that can be embedded in SDI, and pick which to bring in (from the group 1-8 or 9-
16). Another pulldown allows you to select a sample rate 48000 or 96000 for analog audio.
When a KONA 3 has a Breakout Box attached, there are two ways to connect AES/EBU
