Cables & KLHi-Box
The KLHi-box attaches to the KONA LHi card via cables that attach to the back of the box.
These cables are supplied with the KLHi-Box. When you purchase the optional box, you get
two-channel unbalanced audio output (2 RCA Jacks)—not available with the standard cable.
AJA KLHi -Box Panel Connectors
Although most video professionals are used to BNC connectors, you may not have seen them
if you've been using primarily desktop video equipment. BNC connectors ensure a positive
connection by the act of locking the connectors together via pins in one connector that fit
into slots in the corresponding connector.
To make a BNC connection, slide the cable connector over the panel connector and then
when seated, rotate the barrel of the cable connector 90° clockwise until the connectors are
locked together. When properly locked, the cable cannot accidentally be pulled out.
Connectors on the standard cable set are labelled as to their function for easy installation and
maintenance. Similarly, connectors on the optional KLHi-Box are also labelled.
3G/HD/SD SDI Input and Output
BNC connectors are provided on the KONA LHi card endplate for one 3G/HD/SD-SDI input and
one 3G/HD/SD-SDI output. The input and output support video and embedded 24-bit digital
audio. Use SDI wherever possible for the best quality 10-bit uncompressed video input,
capture and output. If peripheral equipment has a variety of inputs/outputs, look to see if it
has SDI I/O, and use it where possible. Most high-end professional broadcast equipment
supports SDI (VTRs, cameras, media storage servers, etc.).
