K3G-Box for KONA 4
& 3G
The K3G-Box for KONA 4 and 3G offers convenient connector access and additional
functionality including simultaneous BNC AES output, 2-channel RCA analog audio
monitoring, and looping BNC connection for Genlock reference and LTC timecode. If
you’re using a digital Betacam deck, HDCAM, DVCPRO HD, D5, D9 or even an HDCAM SR,
you’ll have the proper connections.

Detailed Connector Descriptions
LHe Plus/LHi
Connectors
Connectors on the standard cable set are labelled by their function for easy installation
and maintenance. Connectors on the optional KL-Box are similarly labelled.
SDI Input and Outputs:
BNC connectors are provided on the KONA LHe and LHi card endplates for one SD-SDI or
HD-SDI input. The LHe Plus has two, and LHi has one SDI output (format independent of
the input). The SDI input and outputs support video and embedded 24-bit digital audio.
Use SDI wherever possible for the best quality 10-bit uncompressed video input, capture
and output. If peripheral equipment has a variety of inputs/outputs, look to see if it has
SDI I/O, and use it where possible. Most high-end professional broadcast equipment
supports SDI (VTRs, cameras, media storage servers, etc.).
HDMI Input and Output:
Two HDMI mini-connectors on the LHi endplate (full-size HDMI connectors on the KLHi
Box) provide for input and output of HDMI compatible video (version 1.1) and multi-
channel embedded audio (8 channels). HDCP is not supported on either input or output.
The LHi’s HDMI output does not have HDCP, and input sources having HDCP are not
