Typical System
A figure on the following page shows typical system interconnections for a system
with digital A/V sources. Your system may differ depending on VTRs, audio
monitoring, and video monitoring.
1. If desired, connect your house reference sync to the KONA LH Ref Loop
connector (BNC). The second KONA LH Ref Loop connector on the KL-
box (if used) can be connected to the VTR or terminated with a 75-ohm
terminator.
2. Connect a Video Monitor to the KONA LH Component Analog Video Out
BNC connectors (preferred), or instead connect to a composite monitor.
3. Connect a 9-pin DB9 machine control cable between your VTR’s RS422
control port and the breakout cable’s RS-422 machine control connector.
4. Connect two SDI cables between KONA LH (BNCs are on the card
endplate) and your digital VTR (Digital Betacam etc.): one from KONA LH
SDI In to the VTR SDI Out, and one from KONA LH SDI Out (1 or 2) to
the VTR SDI In. The KONA LH SDI connections have embedded audio so
the VTR must be configured accordingly.
5.
If you have an AES/EBU-ready audio monitoring system, then connect the
two channels of AES/EBU output from KONA LH’s XLR connectors
(channels 1 and 2) to the monitoring system AES/EBU inputs. If you instead
have an analog audio monitoring system, you can use either the XLR
balanced audio connectors or the two RCA-style unbalanced stereo output
jacks on the Optional KL-box for output.
