To get the most out of your KONA 3G, please read this manual.

Once you’ve installed all the AJA software as detailed in Chapter 2, you’ll find the AJA Control

Panel application installed on your com puter.

Using The AJA Control Panel

The AJA Control Panel is a software application that provides a simple visual way to see how

the KONA LHe Plus card is currently configured and then make changes as desired. Settings—

both what you changed and didn’t—can be saved as a snapshot for recall at anytime. This lets

you save settings associated with all your frequent tasks; then as you switch tasks you don’t

have to spend extra time constantly resetting card configurations—just load the previously

saved settings for each task.

One thing you’ll notice instantly about the Control Panel is that it represents a visual block

diagram of how the card is set. The current status, input and output settings, up/down/cross-

conversion, and many other details can be viewed as a color-coded block diagram in the

Control Panel.

Control Panel Basics Although the KONA LHe Plus card auto-configures depending on the inputs present, and the

Control Panel intuitively shows at a glance much about what the card is doing, there is even

more information presented that may not be obvious. To ensure you make the most of the

software, run the AJA Control Panel application and look at its display. Then refer to the

“Basics” described here to fully understand what you’re seeing and learn how to view and

change the KONA LHe Plus system configuration.

Note: The KONA Control Panel also works with other KONA cards, Io HD and Io Express.

However, the actual features and screens displayed differ slightly since the board feature

sets differ.
