For this reason, it is useful to leave the KONA Control Panel application on the desktop while
you work in applications and simply command click into it to access it if you are unsure of a
setting or wish to make a change.

Control Panel Basics

Although the KONA 3G card auto-detects the input format depending on the input that it is
presented, and the Control Panel intuitively shows at a glance much about what the card is
doing—there is even more information presented that may not be obvious. To ensure you
make the most of the software, run the AJA Control Panel application and look at its display.
Then refer to the “Basics” described here to better understand what you're seeing and learn
how to view and change the KONA 3G system configuration.

Note:

The KONA Control Panel also works with KONA LS/LSe, KONA LH/LHe, and

KONA 2. However, the actual features and screens displayed differ slightly since the
board feature sets differ. Currently, only one KONA card can be installed in a Mac at a
time.

Here are some basic definitions you should become familiar with (please refer to the figure
that follows for reference). After studying the basics, read “

Who is Controlling KONA 3G

?”

later in this chapter for more advanced information on how applications interact with the
KONA 3G board.

Tabbed Screens

– the bottom area of the AJA Control Panel provides different

information categorized by topic. Clicking on one of the “Tab” items in the left
navigation column displays an information screen for that topic. Each of the tabbed
screens is described on the following pages.

Tab screens available are:

configures KONA 3G default output (test pattern, pass through, desktop,

etc.) and sets genlock and output timing.

Format:

select the framebuffer primary video format, any secondary formats, and

parameters of up/down/crossconversion for input/output.

Input Select:

view and edit input selections and how they are mapped.

SDI Output:

assign outputs to either Primary or Secondary formats.

select crop mode and specify X-Y location of displayed area for 2K frames

captured with VTR Exchange and brought into Final Cut.
