KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Installing KONA 3G Software
Installing KONA 3G Software
First ensure that Final Cut Pro is installed as detailed in its user documentation. Next, install the
KONA 3G driver. You cannot use KONA 3G with Final Cut Pro until the Final Cut Pro software has
been installed and run at least once on the Mac. You also cannot use KONA 3G with Final Cut Pro
until you run the KONA 3G driver and software installer.
System software updates may occasionally become available to AJA KONA 3G owners on our
website (
http://www.aja.com
). We recommend checking occasionally for both software
updates and additional product information. For KONA 3G software see:

Note:
If your Mac has previously had another video capture or multimedia card installed,
ensure you remove the card and uninstall any related software before installing KONA 3G.
This will prevent any hardware or software conflicts. KONA 3G will operate properly on a
Mac that also has an AJA Io product and its associated drivers installed.

Installation
Procedure
For the most recent version of the KONA 3G driver, it is best to visit the AJA website at http://
www.aja.com
, download the driver and read the details and requirements on the current driver
to ensure compatibility with your system configuration. Your system should be an Apple Intel
MacPro. Minimum system requirements for the host were described in
Chapter 1: System
Requirements.
Note: Before installing KONA 3G software, turn off any virus protection and security software
that you may have installed on your computer.
1. Visit the AJA website for the latest driver version appropriate to your configuration.
Alternately, if you have no internet connection, insert the KONA 3G CD in the Mac; as
noted, this driver version may not be the most current.
2. Locate the downloaded driver on the desktop or the KONA 3G CD icon on the desktop.
3. Locate the package file in the folder from the download or by double clicking on the CD;
the package has an icon that looks like a box and has a “.pkg” suffix.
Note: Files ending in the “.pkg” suffix are OS X installer files. These launch the OS X installer and
tell it where and what to install on your system.
4. Double-click the package to log on and begin software installation.
5. The system will respond by asking you to authenticate who you are as currently defined
on your OS X user profile. Enter the proper name and password at the Authenticate
prompt; if you have multiple users defined, ensure that you log on as a user with
administrator-level authority.
