HD/SD Captioning using AJA Kona
To work with AJA KONA 3 and LHi, you need MacCaption DTV, DTV-A, or HD Enterprise, as
well as Final Cut Pro 7 and the most recent Kona drivers. Please check the following pages:
http://www.aja.com/support/kona/kona-3-3x.php (KONA 3)
http://www.aja.com/support/kona/kona-lhi.php (LHi)
See details of HD caption workflow on pages 2-4 on KONA Release notes.
Current Status: MacCaption + FCP 7 + KONA Workflow
The Kona cards can output captions in one of 2 ways:
1. Output via the AJA TV program
2. Output via Final Cut Pro 7's "Print to Video" or "Edit to Tape" dialog
Both AJA TV and FCP output methods support either HD or SD, but not HD + SD
simultaneously.
To export HD closed captions via HD-SDI choose
