Timecode Input
Select the type of timecode used by the source video machine — RS-422, Embedded SDI
(RP188) or choose to input an External LTC timecode source input via the KONA RS-422 port.
Note: SMPTE RP 188 defines a standard for the transmission of timecode and control code in
the ancillary data space of a digital television data stream. Timecode information is
transmitted in the ancillary data space as defined in ANSI/SMPTE 291M. Multiple codes
can be transmitted within a single digital video data stream. Other time information, such
as real time clock, DTTR tape timer information, and other user-defined information, may
also be carried in the ancillary timecode packet instead of timecode. The actual
information transmitted through the interface is identified by the coding of a distributed
binary bit. Equipment manufacturers can use the meta data for different purposes. After
configuring Machina Capture Options, select the Play options by clicking on the toggle
arrows on either side of the Capture Options title header.
Play Options Primary Format, and Output Type settings are all the same for playback mode as those
described previously. Refer to
“Capture Options” on page 44.
Audio Sync
Choose to sync audio output to either the Primary Format or the Secondary format if it is
available. When a Primary/Secondary conversion is done, there may be a 0.5 or 1 frame delay
introduced. Audio Sync will ensure that either the Primary or Secondary format is kept in sync.
Audio Sample Rate
Choose either 48 kHz or, if you are using extra high-quality audio, KONA 3/3x supports 96
kHz.
