A Typical System The following figure shows a typical system interconnections for a system with digital A/V
sources using the KL-Box for KONA LS or LHi cards. Your system may differ depending on VTRs,
audio monitoring, and video monitoring.
1. If desired, connect your house reference sync to the KONA Ref Loop connector (BNC).
The second KONA Ref Loop connector on the KL-Box (if used) can be connected to the
VTR or terminated with a 75-ohm terminator.
2. Connect a Video Monitor to the KONA Component Analog Video Out BNC connectors
(preferred), or connect to a composite monitor.
3. Connect a 9-pin DE-9 machine control cable between your VTR’s RS422 control port
and the KONA breakout cable RS-422 machine control connector.
4. Connect two SDI cables between KONA (BNCs are on the card endplate) and your
digital VTR (Digital Betacam etc.): one from KONA SDI In to the VTR SDI Out, and one
from KONA SDI Out to the VTR SDI In.
The KONA SDI connections have embedded audio so the VTR must be configured
accordingly.
5. If you have an AES/EBU-ready audio monitoring system, connect the two channels of
AES/EBU output from KONA’s XLR connectors (channels 1 and 2) to the monitoring
system AES/EBU inputs. If instead you have an analog audio monitoring system, you
can use either the XLR balanced audio connectors or the two RCA-style unbalanced
stereo output jacks on the Optional KL-Box for output.
