KONA 3 Installation and Operation Manual — Using The KONA 3 Control
When the Finder is in control of the KONA board, the KONA Control Panel disables
the Primary Format popup and puts a message in the KONA Control Panel
“Formats” tab as follows:
KONA Control Panel—3rd Priority
If a QuickTime application is not running and the Default Video Output is not set to
Mac Desktop, then the KONA 3 Control Panel gets control of the board.
Control Recommendations
To avoid surprises, run the KONA 3 Control Panel, keep it visible on the desktop—
and stay consistent in your settings within the various QuickTime applications while
working on a project. For example, if you’re working in a particular format (e.g.
525i29.97), it would make sense to set Final Cut Pro for 525i29.97, the Mac Desktop
size to 720x486, and the KONA Control Panel for 525i29.97. Then, when you
switch between applications, the output will stay in the same format. Having the
Control Panel running and visible helps because you can always check and see what
the board is doing and who has control of it—even when the Control Panel is running
in the background.
