setting should be one of the 10-bit choices available. The Quality slider should
be set to 100 percent when capturing uncompressed; for other formats use an
appropriate quality level. Set the FPS (Frames Per Second) setting to the correct
frame rate. The Advanced settings button opens a new screen providing choices
of codec-specific options. For uncompressed codecs these probably are not
unneeded; for other codecs choose the options desired.
QuickTime Audio Settings—these settings select an audio input source and affect
how it’s processed by Final Cut Pro. The Device pull-down should be set to AJA
Kona. The Input pull-down selects that KONA LH (AJA Kona) will be used
for capturing audio—it does not select the specific inputs. For specific audio
input selection use the KONA LH Control Panel. The Rate pull-down selects a
sample rate; it should always be set to 48 kHz for KONA LH. By clicking on
the Advanced button, a new screen will be displayed where you can select
between 8- and 16-bit sampling—AJA recommends 16-bit for optimum sound
quality. (This has nothing to do with input format, as KONA LH supports 20-
bit SD embedded audio, and 24-bit AES audio.)

This window selects machine control parameters for an attached VTR. Your choice
here tells Final Cut that KONA LH is handling the machine control parameters for
the VTR attached to KONA LH. Alternatively, you could also select a different
device for input/output instead of KONA LH; for example, if you have a IEEE
1394 camcorder attached to the Power Mac’s FireWire port you might choose
“FireWire NTSC.” The information on the right window pane describes the current
