KONA 3 Installation and Operation Manual — Cabling the System
KONA 3 System Using Breakout Cable
Typical System
A figure on the following page shows typical system interconnections for a system
with digital A/V sources. Your system may differ depending on VTRs, audio
monitoring, and video monitoring.
1. If desired, connect your house reference sync to the KONA 3 Ref Loop
connector (BNC). On the breakout cable this is a terminated reference input.
The second KONA 3 Ref Loop connector on the optional Breakout Box can
be connected to your VTR. If you do not loop through the reference, the
second connector should be terminated with a 75 ohm terminator.
2. Connect a Video Monitor to the KONA 3 Component Analog Video Out
BNC connectors (preferred), or instead connect to a composite monitor. (If
you have an SDI or HD-SDI enabled monitor, you may also connect one of
the Kona SDI outputs to a monitor as well.)
3. Connect the 9-pin DB9 machine control cable on the supplied breakout cable
to your VTR's RS422 control port or connect a 9 pin DB9 cable between the
breakout box and the VTR's RS422 serial port.
