Installation Overview
The installation and set up of a KONA LHe/LH is very simple. All of the steps of
installation and configuration are documented in this chapter, summarized as
follows:
1. Unpack the shipping box
2. If not previously installed on your Power Mac, ensure that Final Cut Pro is
installed as detailed in its user documentation. Final Cut Pro 5 must be
installed and have been run at least once prior to installing AJA KONA LH
software.
3. For Model LHe:
Lay the PCIe PowerMac G5 on it’s on it’s side (motherboard facing up).
Install the KONA LHe capture card into one of the PCI Express slots in the
PowerMac. The RAID controller card (SCSI or Fibre Channel) can go in any
other available slot.
For Model KONA LH:
Lay the PCI-X PowerMac G5 on it’s side (motherboard facing up). Install the
KONA LH capture card into one of the 100 MHz slots in the PowerMac
and put your RAID controller card (SCSI or Fibre Channel) in the PCI-X
133 MHz slot.
4. Install AJA KONA LH software on your Power Mac from the supplied AJA
CD-ROM
5. Cable the system audio and video sources, VTR, audio monitor, and video
monitor. If you purchased the optional KL-box, then install it
into an equipment rack or place it on a desk and connect its
two cables to the KONA LH card. If you’re instead using the
standard cable set, then use those to connect equipment.
Each of these steps are explained in greater detail in the remaining
pages of this chapter.
