Activation
Note: Only one plugin window can have control of the KONA card at a time. If the application
window you click on does not access the card (panel fields are inactive), either another
window is still processing operations or it may be in Manual activation mode and requires
manual disabling (check box blanked) to release control of KONA. Activation mode setup is
available in these applications:
•
Machina
•
Adobe After Effects CS5
•
Adobe Photoshop CS5
Primary &
Secondary Formats
The Primary Format menu allows you to select the video format to be used in the current project
in the KONA framebuffer. (The current selection is reported in the display of the pull-down
menu.)
Choices are always presented based on which AJA capture device you are using and what signal
formats it supports. KONA supports video format up-, down-, and cross-conversions..
Primary Video Formats Supported
See
“Selection of Primary & Secondary Formats ” on page 31
for video format and down-
conversion information.
SDI Output
The SDI outputs will be Single Link only if there is no Secondary Video Output Format selected. If
you have a Secondary format selected, you can choose between Single Link SDI – Primary and
Single Link SDI – Secondary as your output. KONA 3 also supports Dual Link output.
On KONA LHi, there is only one SDI output, but there is an HDMI output. You can independently
configure the SDI output to HD or SD, and the HDMI input to SD or HD. The LHi has a hardware-
based downconverter, so you can output SD if desired, when playing back HD (or in E-to-E).
