KONA LS/LSe Installation and Operation Manual — Cable Connections
Note: for uncompressed formats, PAL and NTSC transfer rates and storage
requirements are the about the same because PAL has a lower frame rate, but more
lines.
Cable Connections
When KONA LSe or LS is installed in a PowerMac, it connects to the outside world
via either the standard breakout cable supplied, or the optional KL-box (using the two
cables supplied with it). Although the LSe and LS are functionally identical, they do
have different bus interfaces (LSe is PCIe and LS is PCI) and cable connections.
Using the
Standard Cables
KONA LSe/LS comes with complete cable connectivity for your video/audio system
connections. Simply plug in the supplied breakout cable to the 44-pin connector on
the card.
KONA LSe breakout cable supports:
• Reference Input (BNC)
• Component/Composite/S Video Input (3x BNC)
• Component/Composite/S Video Output (3x BNC)
• AES In (2x XLR)
• AES Out (2x XLR)
• Balanced Audio In (2x XLR)
• Balanced Audio Out (2x XLR)
• RS-422 Machine Control (9 pin D)
The three BNCs on the KONA LSe Card endplate additionally provide:
• Standard-definition SDI input (BNC)
• 2 SDI outputs (2x BNC, independent outputs)
KONA LS breakout cable supports:
• SDI input (BNC)
• 2 SDI outputs (2x BNC, independent outputs)
• Reference Input (BNC)
• Component/Composite/S Video Input (3x BNC)
• Component/Composite/S Video Output (3x BNC)
• AES In (1x XLR)
• AES Out (1x XLR)
• Balanced Audio In (2x XLR)
• Balanced Audio Out (2x XLR)
For VTR machine control, connect a 9-pin RS-422 cable directly to the 9-pin
connector on the KONA LS card end-plate.
