KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical Uses
To choose a new Easy Setup from the list, click on the pulldown menu and select a desired
choice. The choice won’t take effect until you click the
Setup button, but you will be able to see
the description for the choice just by selecting it (without clicking the Setup button).
Descriptions provide a paragraph summarizing what the Easy Setup is intended for and then
each of the presets are explained (Sequence, Capture, Device, Playback Output, and Edit to Tape
Video/Audio Outputs).
Easy Setups For Use With KONA 3G
The factory default Easy Setups currently shipped with KONA 3G are updated regularly by AJA
and posted on the relevant support web page for your model of KONA
(
http://www.aja.com ). In addition to this, there are additional easy setups available on your
KONA Software CD
Audio/Video
Settings Menu
The Audio/Video Settings menu in Final Cut Pro contains a series of tabbed windows where you
define the presets in specific categories such as A/V devices or in what format media is captured.
When you open the Audio/Video Settings window, it shows a summary of the currently selected
Easy Setup. Other tabbed windows are available with greater details about each category. On
the initial summary window you can see the selected presets for the Easy Setup as well as
change specific presets.
The presets you can change on the Summary window are:
Sequence Preset —select one of these as the editing timebase for new sequences. If you make
a change to Sequence Presets, the change will only take effect on any new sequences you
create—currently active sequences will not see the change.
Capture Preset —select one of these to set the incoming source format you’ll be capturing.
Ideally select the maximum quality format you’ll be using for most of the material so there
will be no need to re-render later as clips are added from the bin to the sequence.
Device Control Preset —select the AJA Video KONA 3G device (NTSC or PAL as desired). This
tells Final Cut that the KONA 3G will control the VTR attached to KONA 3G.
A/V Devices (Audio and Video Playback)—select the KONA 3G as video and audio playback
devices for Final Cut and the format to be output.
