Typical System
KONA v10.5
Figure 13 on page 26 shows typical system interconnections for a system with digital A/V
sources. Your system may differ depending on VTRs, audio monitoring, and video
monitoring.
1. If desired, connect your house reference sync to the KONA 4/3G Ref Loop connector
(BNC). On the breakout cable this is a terminated reference input. The second
KONA 4/3G Ref Loop connector on the optional Breakout Box can be connected to
your VTR. If you do not loop through the reference, the second connector should be
terminated with a 75-ohm terminator.
2. Connect a Video Monitor to the KONA 4/3G Component Analog Video Out BNC
connectors (preferred), or instead connect to a composite monitor. (If you have an
SDI or HD-SDI enabled monitor, you may also connect one of the KONASDI outputs
to a monitor as well.)
3. Connect the 9-pin DE9 machine control cable on the supplied breakout cable to your
VTR's RS422 control port or connect a 9-pin DE9 cable between the breakout box and
the VTR's RS422 serial port.
4. Connect two SDI cables between KONA 4/3G and your digital VTR (Digital Betacam
etc.): one from KONA 4/3G SDI In to the VTR SDI Out, and one from KONA 4/3G SDI
Out (1 or 2) to the VTR SDI In. The KONA 4/3G SDI connections have embedded audio
(16-channels) so the VTR must be configured accordingly. These connections will be
made via the mini-connectors-to-BNC cable or via the optional K3G-Box.
5. If you have an AES/EBU-ready audio monitoring system, then connect the eight
channels of AES/EBU output from KONA 4/3G's BNC connectors: 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/
8, to the monitoring system AES/EBU inputs. If you have an analog audio monitoring
system, you can use the two RCA-style unbalanced stereo output jacks on the
optional K3G-Box for output.
