In the KONA 5 system example above operating in 8K Mode, an 8K ProRes video
file is played back with the AJA Control Room application, and sent to a cinema
projector using four 12G-SDI signals. Eight channels of AES embedded audio from
that file are also routed to the facility PA system.

KONA 4 Card
(in computer)
In the KONA 4 system example above, the KONA card's inputs and outputs are
connected to an SDI digital video recorder, to an analog video monitor, and to
an HDMI monitor, and AES digital audio can also be input to the recorder, and be
output to an audio monitoring system.
1. If desired, connect your house reference sync to the KONA 4 Ref Loop
connector (BNC). On the standard breakout cable this is a terminated
reference input.
2. Connect an HDMI monitor to the KONA 4 card, using the provided mini-to-
full size HDMI adaptor cable. Alternatively, you can connect an analog video
monitor to the KONA 4 Analog Video Out BNC connectors for a low cost
monitoring solution.
