KONA LS/LSe Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical Uses
Saving Your
Control Panel
Presets
After configuring the KONA LS Control Panel via the Tabbed screens, you can then
save all your settings as a snapshot for later recall—called a preset. In this way, you can
organize the presets for all your typical tasks, saving time by not having to manually
reconfigure each time. To save a preset, simply go to “File -> Save Preset...”. Be sure to
give the preset a meaningful name. Thereafter the preset will be available under the
Control Panel “Presets” menu.
Easy Setups for Typical Uses
Final Cut and KONA LS together make working with multiple formats an easy
proposition. Inside of Final Cut, equipment and setting presets are available in groups
called Easy Setups, from which you can choose typical system configurations. A large
set of Easy Setups are supplied with KONA LS and installed along with the KONA
LS software. These canned choices can be used directly or as the basis for making your
own customized Easy Setups unique to your system. By duplicating an Easy Setup and
then making changes to it, you simplify the process of configuring and re-configuring
when working with new formats.
Although this manual assumes you’re familiar with Final Cut Pro and have read its
documentation, let’s review Easy Setups and how to use them effectively with KONA
LS.
At the simplest level, Final Cut lets you choose and edit presets for capturing media,
device control, and for project sequences. These presets are defined in the Audio/Video
Settings menu. Just like Easy Setups, here also there are factory defined choices, plus
you can create and make your own. When you have a set of presets you want to use
again, you can store them as an “Easy Setup.”
On the following pages we’ll further review the Easy Setups menu and Audio/Video
Settings Menu.
