KONA 3G Installation & Operating Guide — Using Multiple AJA Products

Control Recommendations

We recommend you have the Control Panel running and visible at all times. When the Control

Panel is running in the background (not front-most) you can see what the interface is doing and

who has control of it.

Using Multiple AJA Products

Starting with the v7.5 drivers, m ore than one AJA product can be used with your host computer.

Using the AJA Control Panel application, you can choose which installed product an application

uses for input/output. In the upper left corner of the AJA Control Panel application, you will see

a board name, such as KONA 3G-0 and the pane heading will read “AJA Control Panel” if you

have more than one product and the associated drivers installed (if only one product is installed,

you’ll see no product or pulldown and the product nam e will appear in the header). To “target” a

specific installed product for use, click on the text in the upper left hand side of the UI and select

from the list of available products that appear in the pulldown.

When you launch an application such as Final Cut Pro 7, or AJA TV, that application will use the

product that is currently selected in the AJA Control Panel application for its input/output. Once

an application is running, you can change the “targeted” product selection in the AJA Control

Panel and select a different product. The running application will retain its connection to the

product. If you change the “targeted” product and launch a different application, that

application will use the new product for its input/ output, while the first application you

launched will continue to use the other AJA product.

Example: select a KONA 3G as the targeted product in the AJA Control Panel application.

Launch Final Cut Pro 7. Final Cut Pro 7 is now using the KONA 3G for its input/output. Go

back to the AJA Control Panel application and select a KONA LHi as the “targeted” product.

Launch the AJA TV application. AJA TV would now use the LHi for its output. If you switch

back to Final Cut Pro 7, you would note that it is still uses the KONA 3G for its input/output.

Note that some applications, like AJA TV, have a provision for playing in the background, so

playback on one product could even continue when switching the targeted device for use

with another application. You can even feed the output from one AJA product to another

AJA product on the same system in such cases.

AJA TV Preferences, Continue Playback when AJA TV is in background
