KONA LSe, this will be on breakout cable or KL-Box; on the KONA LS, it’s
on the circuit card endplate.)
4. Connect two SDI cables between KONA LS and your digital VTR (Digital
Betacam etc.): one from KONA LS SDI In to the VTR SDI Out, and one
from KONA LS SDI Out (1 or 2) to the VTR SDI In. The KONA LS SDI
connections have embedded audio so the VTR must be configured
accordingly. (On the LSe, the SDI connectors are on the card’s endplate; on
the LS they are provided on the breakout cable.)
5. If you have an AES/EBU-ready audio monitoring system, then connect the
two channels of AES/EBU output from KONA LS’s XLR connectors
(channels 1 and 2) to the monitoring system AES/EBU inputs. If you instead
have an analog audio monitoring system, you can use either the XLR
balanced audio connectors or the two RCA-style unbalanced stereo output
jacks on the Optional KL-box for output.
