KONA LS/LSe Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical Uses

QuickTime Audio Settings—these settings select an audio input source and affect

how it’s processed by Final Cut Pro. The Device pull-down should be set to AJA

Kona. The Input pull-down selects that KONA LS (AJA Kona) will be used for

capturing audio—it does not select the specific inputs. For specific audio input

selection use the KONA LS Control Panel. The Rate pull-down selects a sample

rate; it should always be set to 48 kHz for KONA LS. By clicking on the

Advanced button, a new screen will be displayed where you can select between 8-

and 16-bit sampling—AJA recommends 16-bit for optimum sound quality. (This

has nothing to do with input format, as KONA LS supports 20-bit SD embedded

audio, and 24-bit AES audio.)

The Device Control Presets Window

Audio/Video Settings, Device Control Presets Window

This window selects machine control parameters for an attached VTR. Your choice

here tells Final Cut to use the VTR attached to KONA LS. Alternatively, you could

also select a different device for input/output instead of KONA LS; for example, if

you have a IEEE 1394 camcorder attached to the Power Mac’s FireWire port you

might choose “FireWire NTSC.” The information on the right window pane

describes the current machine control settings and parameters for the VTR attached.

For KONA LS presets this means the VTR attached at the RS422 port on KONA LS.

For non-KONA LS presets, this means camcorder/VTRs attached directly at the

FireWire port or via some other interface.

If you select a preset you can edit it (click the Edit button) or copy and rename it as

another (click Duplicate). The only exceptions to this are those presets marked with a

lock icon; those can be duplicated, but when you try to edit one the system reports

they’re locked and can only be copied (it will create the copy for you when you try to

edit).
