KONA LS/LSe Installation and Operation Manual — What’s In The Box?
At the present time Final Cut Pro only supports 2 channels of audio input and
up to 24 channels of audio output. However, KONA LS supports 6 audio
channels in and out via the hardware, and will support multichannel audio
input when Final Cut Pro supports that function in the future. KONA LS also
features AES input sample rate conversion; this feature eliminates the
requirement for audio source synchronization. Sample rate converters auto-lock
to any AES input, 32-48KHz, and then convert it to 24 bit 48KHz audio,
perfectly locked to internal KONA LS video. Sample rate conversion is done at
very high quality (over 120db THD).

AJA’s KONA LS software and hardware were developed for use with Final Cut
Pro for powerful integrated video/audio capture, editing, and video production.
With an Apple G4 (LS-only) or G5 (PCIe for LSe or PCI for LS), FCP, and
KONA LS, you have an ideal high-quality cost-effective system for standard
definition and analog video production. Software is supplied on CD, including
