4. Connect two SDI cables between KONA 3 and your digital VTR (Digital
Betacam etc.): one from KONA 3 SDI In to the VTR SDI Out, and one
from KONA 3 SDI Out (1 or 2) to the VTR SDI In. The KONA 3 SDI
connections have embedded audio (16-channels) so the VTR must be
configured accordingly. These connections will be made via the mini-
connectors-to-BNC cable or via the optional K3-Box.
5. If you have an AES/EBU-ready audio monitoring system, then connect the
eight channels of AES/EBU output from KONA 3's XLR (or BNC
connectors-if using an optional K3-Box): 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8, to the
monitoring system AES/EBU inputs. If you instead have an analog audio
monitoring system, you can use the two RCA-style unbalanced stereo output
jacks on the optional K3-Box for output.
