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 include:
• Embedded SDI
• Digital AES/EBU – XLR (using either breakout cable or breakout box)
• Digital AES/EBU – BNC (only applies if you are usinbg a breakout box with BNC connectors
for AES/EBU)
• Analog (except for KONA KONA 3)I
Note: On the KONA KONA 3, you can choose between 48 kHz AES/EBU (for standard audio) and
96 kHz AES/EBU (for extra-high quality audio).
SDI Output 1
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 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.
• Composite + S-Video NTSC•
•
Composite PAL
• Composite + S-Video NTSC-J•
•
S-Video PAL
• Component Betacam NTSC•
•
Component Betacam PAL
• Component Betacam NTSC-J•
•
Component SMPTE PAL
• Component SMPTE•
•
Component RGB
• Component XVGA (HD only)
Note: When SD and HD formats are available as Primary and Secondary formats, you can
choose between SD and HD raster for the Analog Output.
Audio Level
Choose between +6 dB (US) monitor level and +0 dB (EBU).
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.
