KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Using 4K Mode
Saving Your Control
Panel Presets
After configuring the AJA Control Panel via the Tabbed screens, you can then save all your
settings as a snapshot for later recall—called a preset. In this way, you can organize the presets
for all your typical tasks, saving time by not having to manually reconfigure each time. To save a
preset, simply go to “File -> Save Preset...”. Be sure to give the preset a meaningful name.
Thereafter the preset will be available under the Control Panel “Presets” menu.
Who is Controlling
KONA 3G?
If you are consistent in the workflows and formats you use between applications, you generally
won't be surprised by how your system operates. KONA 3G is very flexible and most applications
perform the necessary housekeeping so they work correctly when they're active and when
they're not. However, since several applications using KONA 3G can be running at once, with
one active, it can create confusion when settings are different in each and you switch back and
forth. To prevent confusion, we recommend you run the KONA 3G Control Application and have
it visible somewhere on your Macintosh desktop. It will tell you, even when it's not the “active”
application, who has control of KONA 3G and what the current format selections are.
For further understanding, read on and we’ll give you some further background on KONA 3G
control. The main issue you’ll generally want to know, is what application
has control of KONA
3G’s Primary Format at the current moment .
KONA 3G Control Priorities
The AJA Control Panel is one of three masters contending for control—and it’s the lowest
priority of the three. The other two masters are: any currently running QuickTime application
(e.g. Final Cut Pro, KONA TV, Apple Motion, After Effects, etc.) using the board and the Mac
“Desktop” display. The priority of these three “masters” is:
1. QuickTime Application
2. Macintosh Desktop
3. AJA Control Panel
“ Master ”, means a process that can control and change what the KONA 3G is doing and the
Primary and Secondary formats that it uses (as set in the Control Panel “Formats” tab screen).

KONA 3G Control Panel Application
When you click in an application window, the “Master” controlling KONA 3G
changes, possibly changing the Format Selections in effect.
This happens because each application has it’s own sets of control parameters
TIP: If you keep the KONA 3G Control Panel window in view,
it displays the application that is in control and
what the Primary and Secondary Format Selections are at all times.
