KONA Format Setup Options
Video Input
Each KONA plug-in, and the stand-alone Machina application, offer a Video Input pull-down
menu to select an appropriate signal type for your input. (The current selection is reported in
the display of the pull-down menu.)
Video Input always shows all the available input options based on your Primary and Secondary
format configuration. KONA software looks at 1) what model you have, 2) Primary Format, and 3)
Secondary Format (in that order) to determine the appropriate input options.

• Single Link SDI
•
Component Betacam NTSC-J

Audio Input
Use the Audio Input pull-down menu to select the appropriate signal type for your input. (The
current selection is reported in the Status Display.)
Audio Input Options Supported by KONA cards include:
• Embedded SDI
• Digital AES/EBU - XLR
• Digital AES/EBU - BNC (only applies if you are using a KL- or K3-Box)
SDI Outputs 1 & 2
When using KONA LS and LHi cards, 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 offers Dual Link output which uses both output connectors for a single A/B
channeled output (SDI Output 2 automatically becomes Dual Link).
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).
Analog Output
Analog format choices in the Analog Output pull-down menu vary depending upon file format.
