KONA 3 Installation and Operation Manual — Installing KONA 3 Software
Installing KONA 3 Software
First ensure that Final Cut Pro is installed as detailed in its user documentation. Next,
install the KONA 3 driver. You cannot use KONA 3 with Final Cut Pro until the
Final Cut Pro software has been installed and run at least once on the Mac. You also
cannot use KONA 3 with Final Cut Pro until you run the KONA 3 driver and
software installer.
System software updates may occasionally become available to AJA KONA 3 owners
on our website (www.aja.com). We recommend checking occasionally for both
software updates and additional product information.
Note: If your Mac has previously had another video capture or multimedia card
installed, ensure you remove the card and uninstall any related software before
installing KONA 3. This will prevent any hardware or software conflicts. KONA 3
will operate properly on a Mac that also has an AJA Io product and its associated
drivers installed.

Installation
Procedure
For the most recent version of the KONA 3 driver, it is best to visit the AJA website at
www.aja.com, download the driver and read the details and requirements on the
current driver in order to ensure compatibility with your system configuration. Your
system should be an Apple PowerPC Mac G5 or Apple Intel MacPro. Minimum
system requirements for the host were described in Chapter 1: System Requirements.
Note: Before installing KONA 3 software, turn off any virus protection and security
software that you may have installed on your computer.
1. Visit the AJA website for the latest driver version appropriate to your
configuration. Alternately, if you have no internet connection, insert the
KONA 3 CD in the Mac; as noted, this driver version may not be the most
current.
2. Locate the downloaded driver on the desktop or the KONA 3 CD icon on the
desktop.
3. Locate the package file in the folder from the download or by double clicking
on the CD; the package has an icon that looks like a box and has a “.pkg”
suffix.
Note: Files ending in the “.pkg” suffix are OS X installer files. These launch the OS
X installer and tell it where and what to install on your system.
4. Double-click the package to log on and begin software installation.
5. The system will respond by asking you to authenticate who you are as currently
defined on your OS X user profile. Enter the proper name and password at the
Authenticate prompt; if you have multiple users defined, ensure that you log
on as a user with administrator-level authority.
