111 Installation and Operation Manual — Frequently Asked Questions
Note: In some cases the available bandwidth of the motherboard limits the cards ability
to output full frame rate 1080i 29.97 RGBA.
How does KONA hardware Up-convert, Cross-convert or Down-con-
vert?
The KONA 3 and LHi can perform many different conversions of a video source. They can
convert only when video is passing across the board. So in capture or playback you have
the ability to convert video in hardware in real-time with no CPU/Memory cost.
Can I work with 720p variable frame rates?
KONA will automatically remove duplicate frames from varicam footage as long as the
RP-188 flags are set correctly. However, this footage will have 29.97 fps timecode. KONA
does not attempt time code conversion, so the timecode in captured files will not be
reliable.
