Setup guide

The only video hardware you must provide are a sync generator, VTR, HD/SDI-ready broadcast monitor
and patch panel (if desired).
1 Connect the output of the sync generator to the top Ref Loop port of the AJA K3G-Box.
2 Connect the Input port of the NVIDIA SDI card (the one next to the DVI port) to the bottom Ref Loop
port of the AJA K3G-Box.
3 Connect the Fill (outer) port of the NVIDIA SDI card to the Input port of the AJA HD5DA distribution
amplifier.
4 Connect one of the OUT ports of the distribution amplifier to an SDI IN port of the broadcast monitor.
5 For RTD or Stereo, connect another OUT port of the amplifier to the Link A input port of the VTR.
6 For Stereo or RTD, connect the Key (middle) SDI port of the NVIDIA SDI card to the Link B input port
of the RTD VTR.
7 Connect the RS-422 port of the AJA K3G-Box to the VTR control port.
8 If not using RTD, connect SDI OUT A, SDI OUT B, SDI IN A and SDI IN B ports of the VTR to the SDI1,
SDI2, SDI3 and SDI4 ports on the front of the AJA K3G-Box.
9 Connect the SDI IN 1/A, SDI IN 2/B, SDI OUT 1/A and SDI OUT 2/B plugs of the AJA cable to the SDI1,
SDI2, SDI3 and SDI4 ports of the AJA Kona 3G card.
10 Connect the SDI IN 1/A, SDI IN 2/B, SDI OUT 1/A and SDI OUT 2/B plugs on the other end of the AJA
cable to the SDI1, SDI2, SDI3 and SDI4 ports on the back of the AJA K3G-Box, as illustrated.
11 Connect the AJA control cable to the AJA Kona card and to the corresponding port on the back of the
AJA K3G-Box.
Audio
Your application uses the Discreet Native Audio subsystem. Discreet Native Audio uses the following hardware
components, shipped with your system.
Lucid ADA 88192 Audio Converter Converts signals between the workstation and all digital or analog
audio I/O devices.
AJA K3G-Box Balanced Audio breakout box and AJA Kona 3G adapter card The Balanced Audio breakout
box is the audio component of the AJA breakout box. It provides connections for audio I/O. This breakout
box connects to the AJA Kona 3G adapter on your workstation. The Kona 3G adapter provides real-time
input and output of uncompressed SD and HD video signals as well as audio data at 24-bit resolution. The
Kona 3G adapter handles balanced AES/EBU audio signals from the Balanced Audio breakout box.
