KONA LS/LSe Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical Uses
Note: Easy Setups and Final Cut Pro presets can be tricky to configure for optimal
performance. We highly recommend choosing an AJA KONA preset close to your
desired configuration and then editing a copy of this preset instead of trying to set
one up from scratch.
Easy Setups For Use With KONA LS
The factory default Easy Setups currently shipped with KONA LS are shown below.
Your list may differ as AJA is continually improving and adding functionality.
Audio/Video
Settings Menu
The Audio/Video Settings menu in Final Cut Pro contains a series of tabbed windows
where you define the presets in specific categories such as A/V devices or in what
format media is captured. When you open the Audio/Video Settings window, it shows
a summary of the currently selected Easy Setup. Other tabbed windows are available
with greater details about each category. On the initial summary window you can see
the selected presets for the Easy Setup as well as change specific presets.
The presets you can change on the Summary window are:
Sequence Preset—select one of these as the editing timebase for new sequences. If
you make a change to Sequence Presets, the change will only take effect on any
new sequences you create—currently active sequences will not be changed.
