KONA LHe Plus Installation & Operation Guide — Using The AJA Control Panel
Control Screen The KONA LHe Plus can be controlled by various software applications running on a host Mac
and can be used as a Macintosh Desktop extension. The Control Screen is where you select how
the card directs video and is used by application software. This screen also provides control for
configuring output/playback timing with regard to external reference video and horizontal/
vertical delay.
At the top of the Control Default Output pane, it will show the current Default Output and
above the block diagram (right side) the application currently controlling it (if there is one). For
example, in the screen shown here, the default output is a Test Pattern.

Default Video Output—this is where you select what the KONA LHe Plus will output as a
default when no application has control of it, such as when the Finder is active. Since it can be
controlled by software applications as well as its own control panel, the output can change
dynamically. Some video applications will grab control of the KONA LHe Plus inputs/outputs.
These settings determine what happens when an application is active that does not grab the
KONA LHe Plus inputs/outputs.

Default Output Choices and their meanings:
Input Passthrough: this selection directs KONA LHe Plus to route video from its selected
input through the card for processing and output. When this selection is in effect, all
Primary/Secondary Format selections are available for selection in controlling the output.
This in effect makes the LHe Plus a converter when used in conjunction with the AJA
Control Panel application and a Mac.
