Installation Overview
The installation and set up of a KONA with a PC is very simple. All of the steps of installation
and hardware configuration are described in this chapter and are summarized as follows:
1. Unpack the shipping box
2. If not previously installed on your PC, ensure that your editing or capture/playback
applications are installed as detailed in their user documentation. These applications
must be installed and have been run at least once prior to installing AJA KONA
software to allow proper interface setup.
3. Configure your Workstation as appropriate for your workflow requirements. A URL to
AJA Support is provided for getting the latest tested and approved KONA and RAID
storage configurations.
4. Install the latest AJA KONA software on your Workstation.
5. Cable the system audio and video sources, VTR, audio monitor, and video monitor. If
you purchased the optional KL-Box or K3-Box, install it in an equipment rack or place it
on a desk and connect its two cables to the KONA card. If you are using the standard
cable set instead, connect those directly to the equipment.
These steps are explained in greater detail in the following pages.
