SMPTE/EBU N10, Betacam (NTSC), and Betacam (NTSC Japan). These three formats differ
in level only and are configured in the AJA Control Panel.
Reference Video
A single BNC on the standard KONA LHe Plus cable—or two BNC connectors on KL-box (it
loops through)—allow you to synchronize KONA LHe Plus outputs to your house analog
reference video signal (or black burst). If you have a sync generator or central piece of video
equipment to use for synchronizing other video equipment in your studio, then connect its
analog composite output here. When KONA LHe Plus outputs video it uses this reference
signal to lock to. When connecting a reference video source, the locking signal should be the
same format as the Primary format selected in the AJA Control Panel. It is possible in some
circumstances to use an alternate format video signal as long as the basic frame rate is
compatible.
