KONA LHe Plus Installation & Operation Guide — Using The AJA Control Panel
Formats Screen
The For m ats screen shows the video for m at currently in use by the KONA LHe Plus fra m ebuffer
(called the Primary Format ) and allows you to change it. All throughout the Control Panel,
choices are always presented based on what KONA LHe Plus can do with the signals available
and the inputs/outputs selected. For exa
m ple, on the For m ats screen, if the output or inputs are
a different for m at than the pri m ary, then you’ll see an additional infor m ation pane that allows
you to view and edit the secondary for m at—including control over whether down conversion is
e m ployed.

For a co m plete list of Video For m ats supported by KONA LHe Plus, see “Video For m ats” on
page 59 .
Format Screen Settings
Primary (Framebuffer) Format —this pull-down m enu shows the currently selected for m at.
This pull-down appears in both the Pri m ary For m at area of the For m ats screen as well as the
Secondary For m at area (if present). If you select an alternate value in the Pri m ary For m at
using the pull-down, it will change the for m at used by the KONA LHe Plus fra m ebuffer.
When a change is m ade via the Video For m at pull-down or by clicking an icon (widget) and
selecting a new for m at via a contextual m enu, the block diagra m will change to reflect the
new for m at.
VANC —enables or disables VANC data capture and playback.
Secondary (Converted) Format —the for m ats available can vary based on what the Pri m ary
For m at is and the input signal (fra m e rates of input sources li m its the to/fro m conversion
choices). The “Secondary Video For m at” pull-down m enu lists all co m patible for m ats in
black (inco m patible for m ats are shown in gray and cannot be selected). This allows you to
see what you've chosen, and also see those for m ats that are co m patible with the selected
Pri m ary for m at.
Note: The AJA Control Panel software uses the abbreviation “sf” instead of “Psf” when referring
to “progressive seg m ented fra m e” for m ats. In the m anual and in other literature you m ay
see either of these acrony m s used interchangeably. Visually it is easier to discern at a glance
if you are working with progressively seg m ented fra m e for m ats (sf in the AJA Control Panel)
as co m pared to progressive fra m e for m ats which will show only “p.”
