KONA LS/LSe Installation and Operation Manual — Using The KONA LS
Control Screen The KONA LS can be controlled by various software applications running on a host
PowerMac, and can also be used as a Macintosh Desktop extension. The Control
Screen is where you select how the KONA LS will direct video and be used by
application software. This screen also provides control for configuring output timing
with regard to external reference video and horizontal/vertical delay.
At the top of the Control screen it will show the current Default KONA LS output
and the application currently controlling the KONA LS card (if there is one). For
example, in the screen shown here, the default output is the Macintosh Desktop and
the only controlling application is the KONA LS Control Panel itself.

Default Kona Output—Here you select what video KONA LS will output as a
default when no application has control of the board, such as when the Finder is
active. Since KONA LS can be controlled by software applications as well as its
own control panel, the output can change dynamically. When you select many
video applications, they will grab control of the KONA LS card inputs/outputs.
These settings determine what happens when an application that doesn’t grab the
KONA LS inputs/outputs is active. Choices available and their meaning are:
Macintosh Desktop: when selected, this selection causes the KONA LS program
video output (digital and analog) to be an extension of the Macintosh desktop.
MacOS windows and applications can appear (when applicable) on the KONA
outputs.
Input Pass Through: this selection directs KONA LS to route video from its
selected input through the card for processing and output. This is similar to using
the KONA LS as a VTR in E/E mode (as far as video/audio pass through).
