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 LHi Ref Loop connector
(BNC). The second KONA LHi Ref Loop connector on the KLHi-box (if used) can be
connected to the VTR or terminated with a 75-ohm terminator. If instead using LTC
timecode input, connect to the Ref Loop input.
2. Connect an HDMI Video Monitor to the KONA LHi HDMI Out connector. Or instead, use
the Component Analog Video Out BNC connectors to go to an analog 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 LHi (BNCs are on the card endplate) and your
digital VTR (Digital Betacam etc.): one from KONA LHi
SDI In to the VTR SDI Out, and one
from KONA LHi SDI Out to the VTR SDI In. The KONA LHi 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 LHi’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 KLHi-Box for output.
