Color Meanings
All items in the AJA Control Panel block diagram are color-coded to show what is
happening in real time. This applies to both icons and text. These colors indicate:
Blue
Video is same format as the Primary Format (framebuffer)
Green
Indicates that KONA is performing an active change to the video making it
different from the Primary Format (e.g., down-conversion).
Yellow
Reference video (black burst or other reference source)
Red
The selected operation cannot be performed
Input/Output Icons
The input and output icons are triangles that together with their color show all
the input and outputs and their status (selected, not selected, input present or
not, format, etc.). A complete video path is shown when inputs and outputs are
connected with lines going to/from the framebuffer.

Framebuffer
The framebuffer is the "engine" where your third-party applications interface
with the AJA device. The framebuffer has a format (called the "Primary Format")
and color space that it follows, as defined in the linked menu screens or via
external application software. The "Secondary Format" is a selection for format
conversion.
Primary Format
The Primary Format is the media format written to disk and used in your project.
This is the format that the framebuffer will use and is shown in the Control Panel
using the color blue. It is the format that the third-party application software will
either receive from the AJA hardware, or is sending to the hardware. All icons in
blue are the same as the Primary Format used by the framebuffer. Also any text
