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.

Connecting Storage Refer to the following diagram to connect the fibre channel cables (loops) coming from your RAID controllers to the workstation’s ATTO FC adapter card, located in slot 4. The fibre channel adapter is equipped with four ports, called loops. You can connect the storage enclosure to the fibre channel card using either 2 loops or 4 loops. A 2-loop device can be connected to either the inner pair of ports or the outer pair of ports.

(CAL1, CAL2, CAL3). You may want to setup CAL1 to (native) wide-gamut mode and CAL2 to emulate a video monitor (or vice versa). Autodesk does not recommend using either the sRGB or the rec709 presets that are built into the monitor. Please note that the rec709 mode is quite different from a traditional HD video monitor. However, if you ignore this advice, please at least leave the "Range Extension" option in the monitor's on-screen menus at "Off" (which is its default setting).
