KONA LH/LHe Installation and Operation Manual — Using The KONA LH
KONA LH Control Panel, Control Tab, Default Kona Output Pulldown Menu
Choices available and their meaning are:
Macintosh Desktop: when selected, this selection causes the KONA LH program
video output (digital and analog) to be an extension of the Macintosh desktop.
MacOS windows and applications can appear (when applicable) on the KONA
outputs.
Input Passthrough: this selection directs KONA LH to route video from its
selected input through the card for processing and output. When this selection is
in effect, all Primary/Secondary Format selections are available for selection in
controlling the output. This is similar to using the KONA LH as a VTR (as far as
video/audio pass through).
Black: this selection directs KONA LH to output video black whenever an
application isn’t controlling the card.
Test Pattern : this selection directs KONA LH to output a choice of preset
patterns—when no other QuickTime application is using the KONA board. In
addition to the preset test pattern choices, a “ Load File ...” selection at the bottom
of the menu allows you to load any standard Mac RGB graphics file (.tif, .psd,
etc.) into the frame buffer for display.
Note:
the graphic file will not be scaled to fit. If it’s smaller than the current
frame buffer format, KONA LH will center it in the frame. If it’s larger than
the current frame buffer format, it will be cropped on the right and bottom.
Once a graphic file is loaded into the frame buffer it will be retained until it is
overwritten by another graphic or test pattern, or when power is turned off.
Graphic file names are only “remembered” in the menu as long as the Kona
Control Panel application is running.
Hold Last Application : this selection directs KONA LH to hold and output the
last frame of video from the last application to control KONA LH. This can be
helpful when operating in an environment where you’re switching back and forth
between multiple application windows.
