This manual covers the installation and operation of both KONA LHe and LH
models and discusses using them with Final Cut Pro and other applications.

Features
For ease of discussion, the text in this manual refers to both the LH and LHe
models as “KONA LH”, except where differences are specifically noted.
The KONA LH card offers a large number of unique features for optimum
quality, ease of use, and support for a wide variety of workflows and
environments. KONA LH provides flexible standard definition and high
definition capture and playback, a hardware downconverter for working in mixed
SD/HD environments—and it supports both analog and digital audio/video I/O.
