Chapter 2: Getting Started KONA 3G And Your Workflow There are a lot of ways to think about audio/video workflows. Your setup might be categorized as corporate video, professional broadcast, or desktop video. Or the workflow might be categorized by the type of equipment used rather than the nature of work produced—many systems these days are a mixture of equipment from high-end professional to desktop video.
16 Source Deck Type(s) Workflow Attributes Digitaal SD or HD Examples: Digibeta, DV50, DVCPROHD, HDCAM, and DVcam Digital capture via Firewire with Output via AJA KONA 3G Example: HDV Without even using a deck; use the video monitor as a second Mac monitor. The KONA 3G desktop lets you drag graphics from programs like Adobe Photoshop from the computer display to the video monitor. You paint full frame and live onto a broadcast monitor.

These files can be added to a Final Cut Pro sequence and operate in much the same way HD Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) media would. These files can be played back in realtime without the need to adjust the Dynamic RT settings for the sequence. The KONA 3G can be configured for video output of this media in either 2K or in HD at 1080psf 23.98.
26 One option that is available within REDCINE is to convert the source media into sequential DPX files. The DPX files can be assigned a variety of frame sizes, including RED's own RED ONE 2K aspect ratio, which will result in 2048x1152 sized images. Note that a large number of applications may expect to work with DPX files at a more standard frame size, such as 2048x1556.
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Workflow General Notes From within the AJA VTR Xchange application, select “AJA Kona3-DBL” from the Device pulldown in the application's Audio Capture Settings. 1 AJA VTR Xchange application, Audio Capture Settings Note: When quitting the VTR Xchange application, the system may be left at 96kHz audio.

Chapter 4: Final Cut Pro & Other Software Final Cut Pro After you install the KONA 3G software on your Mac, all you need to do to begin using it is to become familiar with the AJA Control Panel (KONA 3G Control Panel) and how Final Cut Pro works with KONA 3G. Note: When only a single AJA device is installed in the computer, the AJA Control Panel will be titled (in the screen header) “KONA 3G Control Panel.
50 For this reason, it is useful to leave the KONA Control Panel application on the desktop while you work in applications and simply command click into it to access it if you are unsure of a setting or wish to make a change. Control Panel Basics Although the KONA 3G card auto-detects the input format depending on the input that it is presented, and the Control Panel intuitively shows at a glance much about what the card is doing—there is even more information presented that may not be obvious.
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Using The AJA Control Panel Block Diagram Screen – the top area of the AJA Control Panel shows a visual picture representing the processing (if any) that's currently occurring, including inputs/ outputs, any up/down/cross conversion, reference source, and system status. Lines between inputs, the framebuffer, and outputs, show a video path.
52 Framebuffer—the framebuffer is the “engine” in the KONA 3G card where active video operations take place using Final Cut Pro, other 3rd-party applications, or even KONA 3G itself. The framebuffer has a format (called the “Primary Format” and color space that it follows, as defined in the Tabbed Windows or via external application software (such as the “Easy Setups” in Final Cut).
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Using The AJA Control Panel 53 Conversion Icons—when an input or output is a different standard than the framebuffer then the KONA 3G may be upconverting, downconverting or crossconverting the signal to the proper standard. This may be automatic, because it's detected an input signal that differs from the standard currently selected, or because you've explicitly told it to convert.
54 Standard Mode Control Panel Operation The following AJA Control Panel descriptions reflect Standard Mode operation. For Control Panel operations and tab screens unique to 4K Mode. {See “Using 4K Mode” on page 88.} Control Tab Screen The KONA 3G can be controlled by various software applications running on a host Mac as well as be used as a Macintosh Desktop extension.

KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Using 4K Mode Saving Your Control Panel Presets After configuring the AJA Control Panel via the Tabbed screens, you can then save all your settings as a snapshot for later recall—called a preset. In this way, you can organize the presets for all your typical tasks, saving time by not having to manually reconfigure each time. To save a preset, simply go to “File -> Save Preset...”. Be sure to give the preset a meaningful name.
96 QuickTime Application—1st Priority If a running QuickTime application uses KONA 3G for capture or output, it controls the Primary format via its own menus and settings. For example, when Final Cut Pro is active (it’s the topmost application) and has KONA 3G as its “A/V Device”, then the KONA 3G's Primary format is determined by Final Cut's “Video Playback” submenu (under the “View” menu) or in its “Audio/Video Settings...” dialog under A/V Devices.
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Using 4K Mode Mac Desktop Video—2nd Priority If you choose “Macintosh Desktop” as your KONA Default Video Output (in the Control Tab), then the Mac Finder uses the KONA 3G board as a second (or third, or fourth...) graphics “desktop” output—as long as there isn't a QuickTime application running.
98 Using Multiple AJA Products Starting with the v7.5 drivers, more than one AJA product can be used with your host computer. Using the AJA Control Panel application, you can choose which installed product an application uses for input/output.
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical Uses Notes on using multiple AJA Products: Performance of multi-product use depends on a variety of factors: CPU usage, RAM, disk IOPS/ bandwidth for streams of video, etc. and therefore performance may vary. Also be aware that multiple input/output streams are only supported by software that is explicitly designed for a multi-product environment.
100 Easy Setup Dialog At the top of the Easy Setup dialog is the currently selected Easy Setup. It can be changed by clicking on the pulldown arrow at the right. Doing so results in a long list of the factory Easy Setups stored on the system. If you wish to see all of the Easy Setups, factory and userdefined, then ensure the “Show All” checkbox is marked at the right side of the dialog. By default, all AJA Easy Setups will be checked.
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical Uses 101 To choose a new Easy Setup from the list, click on the pulldown menu and select a desired choice.

Select the maximum quality format you’ll be using for most of the material so there will be no need to re-render later. The information on the right window pane describes the preset and all it’s parameters.
106 Capture Presets Editing Audio/Video Settings, Capture Presets Editing Window Note: Whenever a Preset is being copied as the basis of a new preset, always change the name and description to fit the new preset so users aren’t confused between it and the original. Frame Size—below the name and description are the frame size settings. These can be changed via the pulldown menu. Selecting a new Aspect Ratio value also changes the values in the width and height fields.
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical Uses 107 (This has nothing to do with input format, as KONA 3G supports 24-bit embedded HD audio, 20-bit SD embedded audio, and 24-bit AES audio.) The Device Control Presets Window 1 Audio/Video Settings, Device Control Presets Window This window selects machine control parameters for an attached VTR. Your choice here tells Final Cut that KONA 3G is handling the machine control parameters for the VTR attached to KONA 3G.
108 When editing a Device Control preset you can change the following: • Name and description of Device Control preset • Protocol for capture/playback VTR (for KONA 3G this will be RS422) • Audio Mapping • Time Source (LTC/VITC/both/etc.) • Port • Frame Rate • Default Timecode (Drop Frame etc.) • Capture/Playback Offsets (to correct for VTR versus Final Cut timing issues) • Handles/Pre-roll/Post-roll • Auto Record and PTV KONA 3G ships with VTR Device Control Presets for Sony and Panasonic VTRs.

112 Using 8-bit Versus 10-bit Video While both 8- and 10-bit uncompressed video are capable of providing excellent quality broadcast video, 10-bit represents a significantly higher quality and is preferable in many situations. Because 10-bit video has four times the numerical precision when compared to 8-bit, it has a signal-to-noise ratio 12 db higher than 8-bit video. Visually, in 8-bit video compared to 10-bit video, you will notice a substantial difference.
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting If You Run Into Problems One useful way to find the source of problems is to isolate your system to the smallest size wherea the problem still occurs and then note all the symptoms. This serves to eliminate areas not involved in the problem and make finding the problem easier. Once you’ve noted problem symptoms, look through the following table and see if any of the symptoms are listed. If so, check the items listed.
114 Table 1. Problem Solving by Matching Symptoms to Remedies Symptom Check Under some circumstances, Final Cut Pro may need to be initialized back to the factory default state as it was when you installed it. The easiest way to do this is to locate Final Cut’s preference file and discard it. Changes made to Final Cut’s configuration aren’t remembered or you need to force a change to them. To do so, follow this procedure: 1. Locate the file named “Final Cut Pro Preferences”.

Appendix B: Glossary Reference Terms 3:2 Pull Down 3:2 pull down is a process where six frames are added to a film’s original 24-frames-persecond format so that it can work within the 30 fps NTSC standard. 24P A term for 24 full frames per second digital video progressively captured. It generally refers to the HD format of 1920x1080, although it is also used with 1280x720 images as well. 1080i Refers to a picture resolution of 1920 vertical pixels by 1080 horizontal pixels.
120 720p Refers to a picture that is 1,280 vertical pixels by 720 horizontal pixels. The “p” stands for progressive scanning. Progressive scanning offers a smoother picture as 720 horizontal lines are scanned progressively or in succession in a vertical frame repeated 30 times a second. Anamorphic video Refers to video images that are “squeezed” or “stretched” (depending on whether the video is being upconverted or downconverted) to fit a video frame.
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — Reference Terms 121 HDTV (HighDefinition Television) High Definition Television refers to the highest-resolution formats of the DTV formats. Offering twice the vertical and horizontal picture resolution of standard definition, an HD picture is much sharper. HDTV has a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9. HD formats 1080i and 720p both offer reduced motion artifacts like ghosting and dot crawl.

Appendix C: Working with 2K Workflows Introduction This chapter provides a simple overview of 2K workflow and how the KONA 3 can be used as an integral part of it. Overview of 2K and Its Uses In Digital Cinema 2K is a term, like SD and HD, used to describe a particular image size and quality of data. 2K data exceeds our pre-existing television broadcast standards for both SD and HD and is therefore most commonly associated with traditional cinema and the emerging digital cinema initiative.
124 colors of red, green and blue. By using RGB, 2K data can emulate, to some extent, film—which achieves its color reproduction via red, green and blue layers of emulsion. The actual 2K image sizes of 2048x1556 and 2048x1080 are usually written in two similar, but slightly differing, file formats: Cineon or DPX (Digital Picture Exchange format). The Cineon file format traces it's roots back to one of the earliest “film as digital” devices, the Kodak Cineon.
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — The AJA KONA 3: An Ideal 2K 125 video, HSDL moves 2K data over the SDI cables. Because of the amount of data previously mentioned, full size 2048x1556 images cannot be transmitted over the dual SDI lines at full frame rate. Instead of moving the data at 23.98 (24) frames per second, the HSDL transport stream often adheres to 14.98 frames per second. Because this is transmitted data, not video, the data can be recorded at the 14.
126 The KONA 3 2K Process—Ingest to Output The following step-by-step procedure outlines the task of bringing in 2K material from telecines or other HSDL devices connected to the dual SDI inputs on the KONA 3 card. The 2K ingest process requires the use of the AJA VTR Xchange software and configuration of the AJA KONA Control Panel. The procedure for ingest of 2K is as follows: 1. Connect the telecine with HSDL output (or other HSDL output capable device) to the KONA 3's two SDI inputs.
KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — The KONA 3 2K Process— 127 another HSDL compliant device. For monitoring, the 2K Crop tab of the Kona Control Panel can be configured to output 1920x1080 from the 2K source. These settings are described in Chapter 4 earlier in this manual under the description of the “2K Crop Screen.
