Capture Presets Editing
Audio/Video Settings, Capture Presets Editing Window
Note:
Whenever a Preset is being copied as the basis of a new preset, always change the
name and description to fit the new preset so users aren’t confused between it and the
original.
Frame Size —below the name and description are the frame size settings. These can be
changed via the pulldown menu. Selecting a new
Aspect Ratio
value also changes the
values in the width and height fields.
QuickTime Video Settings —these settings select a video input source and affect how it's
processed by Final Cut Pro. The Digitizer pull-down menu selects whether you want the
selected input source to be digitized as 8-bit or 10-bit uncompressed video as it comes
into KONA 3G. The Input pull-down selects the primary format KONA 3G will use to
capture input video. The Compressor pull-down selects a codec that tells Final Cut how
to process the video; the codec selected should be chosen for compatibility with the
Digitizer setting selected. For example, if your Digitizer setting is 10-bit Uncompressed,
then the Compressor setting should be one of the 10-bit choices available. The Quality
slider should be set to 100 percent when capturing uncompressed; for other formats use
an appropriate quality level. Set the FPS (Frames Per Second) setting to the correct frame
rate. The Advanced settings button opens a new screen providing choices of codec-
specific options. For uncompressed codecs these probably are not unneeded; for other
codecs choose the options desired.
QuickTime Audio Settings —these settings select an audio input source and affect how it's
processed by Final Cut Pro. The Device pull-down should be set to KONA 3G. The Input
pull-down selects that KONA 3G will be used for capturing audio-it does not select the
specific inputs. For specific audio input selection use the AJA Control Panel. The Rate
pull-down selects a sample rate; it should always be set to 48 kHz for KONA 3G. By
clicking on the Advanced button, a new screen will be displayed where you can select
between 8- and 16-bit sampling-AJA recommends 16-bit for optimum sound quality.
