KONA 3 Installation and Operation Manual — Easy Setups for Typical Uses

QuickTime Audio Settings—these settings select an audio input source and affect

how it's processed by Final Cut Pro. The Device pull-down should be set to

KONA 3. The Input pull-down selects that KONA 3 will be used for capturing

audio-it does not select the specific inputs. For specific audio input selection use

the KONA 3 Control Panel. The Rate pull-down selects a sample rate; it should

always be set to 48 kHz for KONA 3. By clicking on the Advanced button, a new

screen will be displayed where you can select between 8- and 16-bit sampling-AJA

recommends 16-bit for optimum sound quality. (This has nothing to do with

input format, as KONA 3 supports 24-bit embedded HD audio, 20-bit SD

embedded audio, and 24-bit AES audio.)

The Device Control Presets Window

Audio/Video Settings, Device Control Presets Window

This window selects machine control parameters for an attached VTR. Your choice

here tells Final Cut that KONA 3 is handling the machine control parameters for the

VTR attached to KONA 3. Alternatively, you could also select a different device for

input/output instead of KONA 3; for example, if you have a IEEE 1394 camcorder

attached to the Power Mac’s FireWire port you might choose “FireWire NTSC.” The

information on the right window pane describes the current machine control settings

and parameters for the VTR attached. For KONA 3 presets this means the VTR

attached at the RS422 port on KONA 3. For non-KONA 3 presets, this means

camcorder/VTRs attached directly at the FireWire port or via some other interface.

If you select a preset you can edit it (click the Edit button) or copy and rename it as

another (click Duplicate). The only exceptions to this are those presets marked with a

lock icon; those can be duplicated, but when you try to edit one the system reports

they’re locked and can only be copied (it will create the copy for you when you try to

edit).
