KONA Capture, Display, Convert v15.2 36 www.aja.com
NOTE: The AJA Control Panel software uses the abbreviation “sf” instead of “PsF” when
referring to “progressive segmented frame” formats. In the manual and in other
literature you may see either of these acronyms used interchangeably. Visually, it
is easier to recognize:
• “sf” for progressively segmented frame formats
• “p” for progressive frame formats
Follow Input
Enabling the Follow Input checkbox allows the Control Panel Buffer to auto-
switch to whatever is the detected input format. This feature works only if the
controlling application supports input-based capture—AJA Control Room for
example.
Secondary (Converted) Format
The KONA 4 Format Screen in UFC mode displays Secondary Format controls for
hardware conversion.

NOTE: Format screen conversions are not available on the KONA 4 card in 4K mode, or
on the KONA 5 and KONA 1 cards.
The Secondary Format shows the currently selected Secondary format. When
the Secondary Format is different from the Primary Format, a conversion will
be performed on the output, and the block diagram changes to reflect the new
processing.
The Secondary Formats available can vary based on what the Primary Format is
and the input signal (frame rates of input sources limits the to/from conversion
choices). The pull-down menu lists all compatible formats for selection
(incompatible formats are not shown). This allows you to see what you’ve chosen,
and also see those formats that are compatible with the selected Primary format.
