KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Using The AJA Control Panel
Conversion Icons —when an input or output is a different standard than the framebuffer then
the KONA 3G may be upconverting, downconverting or crossconverting the signal to the
proper standard. This may be automatic, because it's detected an input signal that differs
from the standard currently selected, or because you've explicitly told it to convert. In either
case, the block diagram will show the conversion by displaying a conversion icon in
between the input/output and the framebuffer. In the case of cross-conversion, the type of
crossconvert will be shown under the icon (in the example that follows, it's “1080 to 720”).
Down, Up, and Cross Conversion Icons
Note: Up, Down, and Cross Conversion are not available in 4K Mode.
When an output is converted from an interlaced format (1080i) to the same frame size but a
progressive format (1080sf ), you will see the deinterlace icon in the signal path.
Quadrant Picker Icon —in 4K Mode only one quadrant of the 4K video stream may be selected
for HDMI and Analog outputs. Access the respective tab to make this selection in the
Quadrant pulldown menu.
Indicates the quadrant selected for output.
Color Meanings
—all items in the AJA Control Panel block diagram are color-coded to show
what is happening in realtime. This applies to both icons and text. These colors have the
following corresponding meanings:
Blue:
video is same format as the Primary Format (framebuffer)
Red: the selected operation cannot be performed or an invalid selection has been made
Yellow:
reference video (black burst or other reference source)
Green: indicates that KONA 3G is performing some kind of active change to the video, to
make it different from the Primary Format (e.g., up/down convert, format change, etc.).
