KONA 3G Installation and Operation Manual — The KONA 3 2K Process—

another HSDL compliant device. For monitoring, the 2K Crop tab of the Kona Control Panel

can be configured to output 1920x1080 from the 2K source. These settings are described in

Chapter 4 earlier in this manual under the description of the “2K Crop Screen.”

The 1920x1080 crop can be sent to a Dual Link HD-SDI capable monitor by connection of

both of the HD-SDI outputs (Link A and Link B) of the KONA to the Dual Link inputs of a

monitor. Or if a single link HD output is desired, the signal may be routed via single link HD-

SDI out from the card. An additional single link HD-SDI output can be obtained from the card

or one SD-SDI output from the card—both of which can happen simultaneously. The

component output of the card can also be configured to output HD or SD in conjunction with

the SDI outputs. The settings for the various outputs are accessed via the KONA Control

Panel's Format tab by setting the Secondary (Converted) Format. For HSDL output, the 2K

Crop function must be turned to Off in the Crop Mode and from the Digital Out tab of the

KONA Control Panel, Dual Link must be selected.

8. For HSDL output, you can select to output 2048x1556 at 14.98fps (which is a standard among

many HSDL devices), or you may elect to output via HSDL 2048x1080 at 23.98fps, which is

what digital cinema devices tend to use. Or, you may elect to output the timeline as a

QuickTime movie that can be translated back into a sequence of DPX files via the AJA

QuickTimeToDPX Translator application.

Note: Note: This may be necessary for some devices and applications that do not accept QuickTime

files or the AJA Kona 10-bit Log RGB or AJA Kona 10-bit RGB codecs but instead accept DPX files.

Additional

Advice

Due to the flexible nature of Final Cut Pro, the timeline where the 2K files reside during editing, can

be sent to other applications to be worked on at 2K resolution; Motion and Shake are examples of

this. The 2K edit in Final Cut Pro can be referred to by other applications via XML or EDL, like Silicon

Color's Final Touch 2K, so that the 2K DPX files or their associated QuickTime Reference Movies may

be accessed.
