Checking the System with a Simple Test Project of Bars and Tone
To test that you’ve installed the KONA LS drivers and have audio and video
monitoring correctly configured, try creating a simple Final Cut Pro project with
bars and tone.
1. Select an Easy Setup as previously discussed (go to the Final Cut Pro menu
and select Easy Setup; then select a desired preset).
2. Select New Project from the File menu.
Create a New Project
3. The Sequence window timeline will be at the bottom of the screen and a
Browser window will be at the top left. Look at the Browser window and
locate the “Effects” tab at the top right. Click on it.
4. Locate the Viewer window in Final Cut and click on the Filmstrip pulldown
menu button (it’s a “filmstrip” icon with an “A” on it). Select “Bars and Tone
NTSC” or “Bars and Tone PAL”. The viewer window will display bars after
you do this.
5. Click the mouse cursor on the Bars and Tone in the Viewer window and drag
it to the beginning of the sequence window. You’ll see the bars and tone show
up on the sequence where it can them be played.
6. Go to the beginning of the sequence by clicking on the left-most icon and
then click the “Play” icon. You should see and hear the bars and tone on your
video monitor and audio monitoring system.
If you don’t see bars on the external video monitor and hear tone, check your
connections and ensure KONA LS is selected in the Easy Setups and Audio/Video
Settings as necessary.
