Instruction manual

Color Meanings—All items in the KONA LH 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 LH is performing some kind of active change to

the video, to make it different from the Primary Format (e.g., down convert,

format change, etc.).

Tabbed Windows—The bottom area of the KONA LH Control Panel provides

different information categorized by topic. Clicking on a “Tab”—or a block

diagram element—will result in an information screen corresponding to a

tabbed topic. The arrows at either side of the displayed tabs can be clicked to

see any additional tabs not visible on the screen. If an arrow is “grayed out”,

then it means there are no additional tabs in that direction. Each of these

tabbed windows are described on the following pages. Tabs that can be

selected are:

Inputs: view and edit input selections and how they are mapped

Proc Amp: view and edit the analog proc amplifier settings (brightness,

contrast, hue, and saturation)

Formats: select the framebuffer primary video format and any secondary

formats and down conversion for inputs/outputs

Digital Out: assign outputs

Analog Out: configure the component/composite analog output

Control: configures KONA LH operation (pass through, desktop, etc.) plus

setting output timing.

DS Keyer: configure the hardware-based downstream keyer for putting logos,

or other video material on top of video being played or printed to tape.

Setup: configures Video and Audio options such as composite black level and

analog audio monitor level.

Codec: used to select codec options such as whether a pause stops on a full

frame or a single field (jitter shown or not) and 24 to 30 fps padding patterns.

Timecode: monitor and configure timecode

Info: displays status information about the KONA LH card and how it is

installed in the host Macintosh. This information is generally intended for

troubleshooting/support.
