KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Standard Mode Control
Audio Input
—this pulldown menu allows you to pick where the audio comes from. KONA 3G
supports up to 8 channels of AES via XLR (or BNC on the K3G-Box) or 16 channels of SDI
embedded audio. You can choose out of the 16 channels embedded in the SDI, and pick
which 8 to bring in (1-8 or 9-16). Here you can also select which two channels from the 8
embedded would be mapped to Final Cut's if only two channels were selected in the
application. FCP 5 and higher supports multi-channel input and output so you may elect to
select up to all 16 embedded audio channels.
When a KONA 3G has a Breakout Box attached, there are two ways to connect AES/EBU
inputs: XLR or BNC connectors. The Audio Input pulldown allows you to select which of the
two connector groups will be used. If you digitize footage and find that there is no audio
present on the captured footage, it may simply be because the audio selection in the KONA
Control Panel is set to AES/EBU (BNC) when in fact you are connected via AES/EBU (XLR).
