AJA KONA LHe Plus Installation And Operation Manual page 37

descriptions in the block diagram that appear in blue indicate that something is
in the primary format. For example:
• If the input and output icons are blue, you know that the same format is used
throughout the video path. No format conversion is being performed.
• If the input or output icon colors differ (blue input and green output icons for
example), you know that a format conversion is being performed.
Secondary Format
Any format other than the currently selected Primary Format, is a secondary
format. As described previously, this means that either the Inputs or Outputs are
somehow different from the framebuffer's assigned format—the Primary Format.
A conversion is readily apparent because of the color change from blue.
In some cases the application you use with the KONA will automatically set the
Primary Format, overriding the user's selected primary format in the AJA Control
Panel.
Format Screen Conversion
Format function screen conversion allows selection of a format conversion. The
choices offered depend on the AJA device present in your system and the Primary
and Secondary format selected.
Figure 23. AJA Control Panel, Format Screen
When converting an Input to the Primary Format, select the Secondary Format
option that has (I), for input only, appended to it. Conversely, when converting
an Output from the Primary Format, you must select an output signal with (O) for
output only.
IMPORTANT: Do not confuse this Format function screen conversion, which uses AJA
KONA Capture, Display, Convert v13.0
hardware and operates on either Mac or PC, with the separate Conversion
function screen, which uses QuickTime for conversion and is only available on
Mac.
