KONA 3 Installation and Operation Manual — Using The KONA 3 Control

Note:

The 

RED 

checkbox is designed to enable video output support for the unique 

geometries associated with RED proxy files or media transcoded from RED source R3D files.  
Without this checkbox enabled, playback of RED footage, be it proxy or transcoded files, will 
require your editing application to handle the scaling of the video to a standard video 
output size, such as 1920x1080.

Audio Setup Screen

This screen shows the current settings for that analog audio output, and allows you to re-
configure it when desired. 

KONA 3 Control Panel, Audio Setup Screen

Audio Setup Screen Settings

Lock Audio Gain To Unity

—When set, the KONA card will ignore the third-party application’s 

gain setting and set the audio gain at unity. When not set, this checkbox tells the KONA 
card to get the audio gain setting application (if supported). 

Enable DBL Audio Capture

—When used with properly equipped Sony HDCAM SR VTRs (such 

as the Sony SRW-5800), the KONA 3G can be configured to ingest material at double 
normal speed or “DBL” speed.
