KONA 3G Installation and Operation Guide — Cable Connections
The four mini-connectors found on the KONA 3G endplate are not common to most video
equipment but offer small size, ease-of-use, and high reliability. (The connectors are also called
“mini-BNCs” and “1.0/2.3 Connectors”.)
To make a connection with these connectors simply push the cable mini-connector onto the
endplate mini-connector. It will lock in place when fully seated.
To remove a mini-connector, just grasp the knurled barrel on the connector and pull the
connector off.
Note: Do not try to remove the mini-connector by pulling on the cable itself as this action will
not remove the connector—but can stress the cable.

Descriptions—Cables
and K3G-Box
Connectors on the standard cable set are labelled as to their function for easy installation and
maintenance. Similarly, connectors on the optional Breakout Box are also labelled.
8-Channel Digital AES/EBU Audio Inputs And Outputs
When using the standard cables, BNC connections are provided for 8 digital AES/EBU audio
input/output.
The optional Breakout Box provides 16 BNC audio connections on the front panel.
Analog 2 Channel Unbalanced Audio (Breakout Box only)
On the optional K3G-Box are two analog output connectors, one for each channel. These
connectors are RCA-style phono jacks.
RS422 Machine Control
A DB9 connector provides connection to VTRs, digital disk recorders, and other devices using
RS422 device protocol. For the breakout cable the connection is male and for the breakout box
the connector is female. (Connector pinout is listed in Appendix A: Specifications.)
