On the Inputs screen you can view the currently selected video and audio input sources and
map audio sources to the channels supported by Final Cut Pro 7 (more on this later). Two
information panes in the screen are provided: Video Input and Audio Input.

Input Select Tab Settings
Video Input—the pulldown menu allows you to see and change what's currently selected
and the video format that KONA 3G has detected (if any). In the example shown
previously, it shows that video is selected at the HDMI input and the format is 1080i with
a frame rate of 29.97. Since this text is shown in blue, you can tell that it matches the
framebuffer's primary format selected in the “Formats” screen. By looking at the input
source, you can determine how the primary format should likely be set (unless you want
to perform a conversion on input.) If you wish to select a different input use the pulldown
to select either SDI 1, 2 or Dual Link for two-wire 4:4:4 RGB, or Stereo 3D. For 3G single-
link, choose the SDI Source used and select Stereo 3D from the SDI pulldown menu.
Use the LTC/Ref menu pulldown next to Video Input to select how the LTC BNC is used:
selecting Reference means it’s used a Reference standard; selecting LTC means it’s used
for lateral time code (LTC) input.
Audio Input—this pulldown menu allows you to pick where the audio comes from. KONA 3G
supports up to 8 channels of embedded audio. You can choose out of 16 channels
embedded in the SDI which 8 to bring in (1-8 or 9-16). Here you can also select which two
channels from the 8 embedded would be mapped to Final Cut Pro 7 if only two channels
were selected in that application.
