The KONA 3 2K Process—Ingest to Output

The following step-by-step procedure outlines the task of bringing in 2K material from telecines or
other HSDL devices connected to the dual SDI inputs on the KONA 3 card. The 2K ingest process
requires the use of the AJA

VTR Xchange

software and configuration of the AJA KONA Control

Panel.

The procedure for ingest of 2K is as follows:

Connect the telecine with HSDL output (or other HSDL output capable device) to the KONA
3's two SDI inputs. (If you already have 2K DPX or Cineon files on storage capable of 300MB/
sec., you can elect to use the AJA

DPXToQT Translator

application to “wrap” the sequential

DPX or Cineon files to QuickTime Reference Movies. If this is the case, skip ahead to step 6
of these instructions.

Configure the AJA Kona Control Panel as follows:
A. For the Input tab of the KONA Control Panel, make certain that

Dual Link

    is selected for Video Input.
B. For the Format tab of the KONA Control Panel, make certain that the Video
    Format for Primary and Secondary is matched and matches the incoming
    “video”—which should be indicated in the graphic portion of the KONA
    Control Panel next to the SDI in 1 and SDI in 2 icons.

Run AJA VTR Xchange software. Go to the

Capture

pulldown menu in the application and

select Video Settings. Choose

Source

from the three options of Adjustments, Compression

and Source. From within this menu, select the appropriate format that is being indicated in
the KONA Control Panel, i.e. 1556x2Kpsf14.98 10 Bit (2048x1556) Now select

Compression

from the three choices of Adjustments, Compression and Source. In the pulldown for
Compression type, select

AJA Kona 10-bit Log RGB Codec

AJA Kona 10-bit RGB Codec.

(For

maximum flexibility, and with most equipment, the

AJA Kona 10-bit Log RGB Codec

will be

the best choice.) For the

Frames per second,

select 23.98 as this is the frame rate that will be

set for the QuickTime Reference Movie that you will create simultaneously with the
sequential DPX files. From the Preferences (AJA VTR XChange pulldown menu), look under
the Capture heading and select

Save as Numbered Files

. You should also select a storage

device capable of a minimum of 300+MB/sec. for the data under the Capture heading,
Captured Clips Folder; if no selection is made, the application will prompt you to choose a
location for your captured media.

You're now ready to capture the material from the 2K output device. Begin playback on a
non-controllable device or mark in and out points for a clip coming from a controllable
device (like a digital disk recorder). If you have no device control, you can only select
“

capture now

”—meaning that you will be crash recording the data onto your disks. If you do

have a device that can be controlled, you can set in and out points and then select
“capture”.

While capturing, VTR Xchange is creating the QuickTime Reference Movie and the series of
sequential DPX files; these files are written to the target folder defined by the VTR Xchange
application based on the selection you made for their location from within the

Preferences>Captured Clips

Folder.

For editorial, run Final Cut Pro. From within the Final Cut Pro application, go to the Final Cut
Pro pulldown menu and choose Easy Setup. If the

Show All

checkbox is not checked, check

it and then from the pulldown, select the 2K easy setup that reflects your media (If you
ingested from telecine, in all likelihood you will select the

AJA Kona 3- 2K x 1556 psf 23.98 10

Bit Uncompressed Log RGB

as an example.) Within your new project you can import the

QuickTime Reference Movies created by VTR Xchange into the Browser window.

Note:

Note: Since these QuickTime movies reference the 2K sequential DPX files, you will be able

to play and scrub the footage as expected, however if you wish to play the footage backward,
be sure to adhere to first holding down the “K” key on the keyboard and while holding this
key, then the “J” key can be depressed for reverse playback. This is simply a limitation of
reading the sequential DPX files; all other functions such as scrubbing the playhead in the
timeline or using the “L” key for forward play and transport will behave as expected. In the
event that you do use the “J” key solely, you may experience a lag and will need to wait for the
application before further operations can be performed.

You can elect to either view the footage out of the card on monitors in one of three ways
(two of which may occur simultaneously) or output from the Kona 3 card via HSDL to
