KONA LHe Plus Installation & Operation Guide — Using The AJA Control Panel
Timecode Screen The timecode is used for both monitoring the RP-188 timecode embedded in the digital data
stream and for selecting a timecode offset (if required) for the attached VTR (connected to the
KONA LHe Plus RS-422 port)—and sent during assemble-edit mode.
Note: SMPTE 12M-2 is the updated name and specification for what was RP-188.

RP-188 Timecode <n>—in RP-188 timecode (SMPTE 12M-2) there can be multiple timecode
values in the data stream. Use this pull-down to select the one you wish to monitor. The
selection will be displayed in the timecode value displayed to the right of the pull-down.
User Bits—For monitoring variable framerate (VFR) timecode (such as Varicam), you may wish
to monitor the user bits embedded in the timecode. If you set this checkbox, KONA LHe
Plus will detect and interpret the user bits and display them next to the checkbox.

Use QuickTime Timecode—when checked, this directs KONA to output timecode from the
QuickTime timecode track. When not checked, KONA uses the Output Timecode Offset value
plus the number of frames into the movie. Note: not all QuickTime applications use or
support timecode tracks—so sometimes the QuickTime timecode is missing or not
meaningful.
