3. Connect a 9-pin DE9 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 the KONA card (BNCs are on the card
endplate) and your digital VTR (Digital Betacam etc.), one from KONA card’s
SDI In to the VTR SDI Out, and one from card’s SDI Out (1 or 2) to the VTR SDI
In. The KONA LHe Plus SDI connections have embedded audio so the VTR
must be configured accordingly.
5. If you have an AES/EBU-ready audio monitoring system, connect the two
channels of AES/EBU output from KONA’s XLR connectors (channels 1 and
2) to the monitoring system AES/EBU inputs. If, instead, you 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.

owners on our website (www.aja.com). We recommend checking occasionally for
both software updates and additional product information.

This will prevent any hardware or software conflicts.
Software Package Installation and Re-installation
Before installing the KONA LH software package, ensure that your capture/editing
application is installed as detailed in its user documentation. You cannot use
KONA LH with a third-party application until the application has been installed
and run at least once on your workstation. Next, install the AJA software package.
If you add KONA LH supported applications at a later date and have not
previously installed the appropriate drivers, you must run the install program
again selecting the appropriate application support software to be installed.
Firmware Update Procedure
After the AJA Software Package has been installed on a computer with your AJA
hardware installed, the firmware on that AJA device can be updated if a newer
version of firmware is included with that software package.
1. Open the AJA Control Panel application.
2. If more than one AJA device is connected, choose the device you want to
update by selecting its name from the drop-down menu at the top of the
screen.
3. Go to the Control Panel Firmware Screen.
