KONA LH/LHe Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical
This window lets you choose a preset format for incoming source video and audio
media you’ll be capturing. Select the maximum quality format you’ll be using for most

it’s processed by Final Cut Pro. The Digitizer pull-down menu selects whether
you want the selected input source to be digitized as 8-bit or 10-bit uncompressed
video as it comes into KONA LH. The Input pull-down selects the primary
format KONA LH will use to capture input video. The Compressor pull-down
selects a codec that tells Final Cut how to process the video; the codec selected
should be chosen for compatibility with the Digitizer setting selected. For
example, if your Digitizer setting is 10-bit Uncompressed, then the Compressor
