Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro (not included with KONA LHi) ships with information already configured for most
common system configurations. After you install the KONA LHi software on your Mac Pro, all
you need to do to begin using it is to become familiar with the KONA LHi Control Panel and
how Final Cut Pro works with KONA LHi.
With Final Cut Pro you’ll choose the proper setups from the canned ones provided by AJA.
These canned setups are called “Easy Setups” in Final Cut Pro and are available to use and edit
under Audio/Video Settings in the “Final Cut Pro” menu (next to the apple menu).
You’ll also need to gain familiarity with the KONA LHi Control Panel, which will be used for
source selection, configuring many KONA LHi 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 use of KONA LHi with Final Cut Pro and other applications.
Using The KONA LHi Control Panel
The KONA LHi Control Panel is a software application that provides a simple visual way to see
how the KONA LHi card is currently configured and then make changes as desired. Settings—
both what you changed and didn’t—can be saved as a snapshot 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 constantly resetting card configurations—just load the previously
saved settings for each task.
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, input and output settings, up/down/cross-
conversion, and many other details can be viewed as a color-coded block diagram in the
Control Panel.
Control Panel Basics
Although the KONA LHi card auto-configures depending on the inputs present, 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 KONA LHi application and look at its display. Then refer to the “Basics”
described here to fully understand what you’re seeing and learn how to view and change the
KONA LHi system configuration.
