Input/Output Icons—the input and output icons are triangles that together with
their color show all the input and outputs and their status (selected, not
selected, input present or not, format, etc.). A complete video path is shown
when inputs and outputs are connected with lines going to/from the
framebuffer.
Input/Output Icons
Conversion Icons—when an input or output is a different standard than the
framebuffer then the KONA 3 may be upconverting, downconverting or
crossconverting the signal to the proper standard. This may be automatic,
because it's detected an input signal that differs from the standard currently
selected, or because you've explicitly told it to convert. In either case, the
block diagram will show the conversion by displaying a conversion icon in
between the input/output and the framebuffer. In the case of cross-
conversion, the type of crossconvert will be shown under the icon (in the
example that follows, it's “1080 to 720”).
Down, Up, and Cross Conversion Icons
Color Meanings—all items in the KONA 3 Control Panel block diagram are
color-coded to show what is happening in realtime. This applies to both icons
and text. These colors have the following corresponding meanings:
Blue: video is same format as the Primary Format (framebuffer)
Red: the selected operation cannot be performed or an invalid selection has
been made
Yellow: reference video (black burst or other reference source)
Green: indicates that KONA 3 is performing some kind of active change to
the video, to make it different from the Primary Format (e.g., up/down
convert, format change, etc.).
Tabbed Windows—the bottom area of the KONA 3 Control Panel provides
different information categorized by topic. Clicking on a “Tab”-or a block
diagram element-will result in an information screen corresponding to a
tabbed topic. With the mouse on a block diagram element, you can also
control click to reveal drop down menus for certain functions. The arrows at
either side of the displayed tabs can be clicked to see any additional tabs not
visible on the screen. If an arrow is “grayed out”, then it means there are no
additional tabs in that direction. Each of these tabbed windows are described
on the following pages.
