KONA Capture, Display, Convert v15.2 32 www.aja.com
Example: if you select a KONA card as the targeted product in the AJA Control
Panel application and launch an Adobe video editing application, that application
is now using the KONA card for its input/output. Go back to the AJA Control Panel
application and select an Io Express as the “targeted” product. Launch the AJA TV
application. AJA TV will now use the Io Express for its output. If you switch back to
the Adobe application, you will see that it is still using the KONA card for its input/
output. Note that some applications, like AJA TV, have a provision for playing in
the background, so playback on one product could continue when switching the
targeted device for use with another application. In such cases, it may be possible
to build a workflow whereby the output from one AJA product is fed to another
AJA product on the same system (accepting of course, that the downstream
device will have an offset from the upstream device of around 3 frames).
Notes on Using Multiple AJA Products:
Performance of multi-product use depends on a variety of factors: CPU usage,
RAM, disk IOPS/ bandwidth for streams of video, etc. and therefore performance
may vary. Also be aware that multiple input/output streams are only supported
by software that is explicitly designed for a multi-product environment.
General Control Panel Operation
The following Control Panel screens, primarily of KONA 4 in UFC mode, describe
operation of the available device control parameters. Control Panel screens
that differ significantly for other devices (KONA 5, KONA 1) are also shown as
appropriate.
See
"Control Panel 4K/UltraHD Operation" on page 59
for detailed information
about KONA 4 in 4K Mode, which also can apply to KONA 5 card operation.
