Final Cut Pro
After you install the KONA 3G software on your Mac, all you need to do to begin using it is to
become familiar with the AJA Control Panel (KONA 3G Control Panel) and how Final Cut Pro
works with KONA 3G.
Note: When only a single AJA device is installed in the computer, the AJA Control Panel will
be titled (in the screen header) “KONA 3G Control Panel.” If more than one AJA device is
installed, it will be titled AJA Control Panel and there will be a device type and selection
pulldown in the upper left corner (see
“Using Multiple AJA Products” on page 98
). In this
chapter text it is referred to as “AJA Control Panel.”
With Final Cut Pro you'll choose the proper setups from those provided by AJA to utilize the
card for input and output. These provided setups are called “Easy Setups” in Final Cut Pro and
are available to use under Audio/Video Settings in the “Final Cut Pro” menu (next to the apple
menu). For unique workflows or situations, the AJA provided Easy Setups may be copied and
modified.
You'll also need to gain familiarity with the AJA Control Panel, which will be used for source
input selection, configuring many KONA 3G features, and for creating your own preset
configurations for different applications.
The manual you are reading does not provide operational information about Final Cut Pro.
Please read the Final Cut Pro user documentation provided with it for information on
configuration and operation. The chapter you are reading addresses configuration and setup
unique to the use of KONA 3G with Final Cut Pro and other applications.
Using The AJA Control Panel
The AJA Control Panel is a software application that provides a simple visual way to see how
the KONA 3G card is currently configured and then make changes as desired. Control Panel
settings can be saved as a preset for recall at anytime. This lets you save settings associated
with all your frequent tasks; then as you switch tasks you don't have to spend extra time
resetting card configurations. Simply load the previously saved settings for each task. To save
a Preset, make the changes in the interface and choose
File>Save Preset
from the AJA Control
Panel pulldown menu.
One thing you'll notice instantly about the control panel is that it represents a visual block
diagram of how the card is set. The current status of the up-converters/down-converters, the
input and output settings, and many other details can be viewed as a color-coded block
diagram in the control panel.
You can even access the KONA Control Panel application without exiting the
application by first holding down the command key (Apple key) before mouse
clicking on the KONA Control Panel
application on the desktop.
