Conversion Icons: When an input or output is a different standard than the framebuffer, the KONA card may
be up-, down-, or cross-converting the signal to the selected standard. This may be
automatic, because it's detected an input signal that differs from the standard currently
selected, or because you've explicitly told it to convert. In either case, the block diagram
will show the conversion by displaying a conversion icon between the input or output
and the framebuffer.

Color Meanings: All items in the AJA Control Panel block diagram are color-coded to show what is
happening in realtime. This applies to both icons and text. These colors have the
following corresponding meanings:
• Blue: video is same format as the Primary Format (framebuffer)
• Red: the selected operation cannot be performed
• Yellow: reference video (black burst or other reference source)
• Green: indicates that KONA is performing an active change to the video making it
different from the Primary Format (e.g., down-conversion).
Control Panel Screens: The left side area of the AJA Control Panel provides a navigation list of available function
screens. Clicking on a link (or alternatively, a related element in the block diagram)
displays an information screen corresponding to that topic. Screens that can be selected
for KONA are:
Control: configures some basic KONA operation options and output timing.
Format: select the framebuffer primary video format and any secondary formats for
conversion of inputs/outputs
Input Select: view and edit input selections and audio mapping
SDI Out: select output format
HDMI: configure the HDMI I/O (LHi, KONA 4 and 3G models only)
Analog Out: configure the component format and audio monitor setup
Video Setup: configures Video such as composite black level, progressive format and
QuickTime options.
Audio Setup: configures Audio options such as analog audio monitor level.
Conversion: (Mac platform only) select codec options such as whether paused video
appears as a full frame or a single field (jitter shown or not shown) and 24 to 30 fps
padding patterns. Select RGB range, and Stereo 3D signal configuration (if applicable).
DS Keyer: setup and control the insertion of keyed video from the frame buffer or
graphics files with alpha channel.
Timecode: monitors RP-188 timecode and configure timecode window burn output
(Note: SMPTE 12M-2 is the updated name and specification for what was RP-188).
Presets: add or delete saved preset configurations (handy for setting up the KONA card
for varied workflows and then saving them as canned configuration for quick and easy
recall)
Firmware: for KONA 4/3G, choose between Standard and 4K Modes and initiate
installation of the firmware. For all KONA models, install KONA firmware contained in
your current driver package.
Info: displays status information and firmware version # of the KONA card and how it is
installed in the host computer. This information is generally intended for
troubleshooting/support.
