Installation Overview

The installation and set up of a KONA 3G is very simple. All of the steps of installation and

configuration are documented in this chapter, summarized as follows:

1. Unpack and examine the contents of the shipping box

2. If not previously installed on your Mac or PC, ensure that the capture/editing

application you intend to use is installed as detailed in its user documentation. Your

application must be installed and run at least once for the KONA Easy Setups to be

installed properly. If other capture cards have been installed, the software for those

products should be removed before installing the KONA driver to avoid possible

conflicts.

3. For the KONA 3G Mac installation, AJA recommends that the card be placed in Slot 3

and the Apple Expansion Slot Utility be configured so that the slot is running at x4 lane

speed or higher. (The choice of x4, x4, x1 and x16 is ideal.) Refer to the AJA website at:

For the most up-to-date Windows system requirements for KONA, consult the AJA

4. Install AJA KONA 3G software on your computer. While the CD supplied with your card

will likely have a recent version of the driver, the fast paced nature of feature releases

and updates means that visiting the AJA website for the latest driver is usually a better

choice.

5. Cable the system audio and video sources, VTR, audio monitor, and video monitor. If

you purchased the optional Breakout Box, then install it into an equipment rack or

place it on a desk and connect its cables to the KONA 3G card. If you're instead using

the standard cable set, then use those to connect equipment.

Each of these steps are explained in greater detail in the pages of this chapter.
