KONA 4 to K3G-Box Connections
Connectors on the standard cable set are labeled for their function for easy
installation and maintenance. Connectors on the optional K3G-Box (breakout
box) are similarly labeled. Connect the K3G-Box to the KONA 4 card using the
provided adaptor cables.
• A multi-pin host connector attaches the K3G-Box to the KONA 4 card, using
the provided multi-pin cable.
• Four full size 3G-SDI BNC connectors on the K3-Box rear panel connect
to the KONA 4 card's four SDI connectors with the provided DIN to BNC
adapter cable. These signals are routed to the K3-Box's four front panel SDI-
BNC connectors. The 3G-SDI inputs and outputs each support 16-channel
embedded 24-bit digital audio.
• Eight BNC connections are provided for AES/EBU audio input/output, carrying
two channels each, for a total of 16 channels in and out. (The standard
breakout cable supports a total of 8 AES channels in and out.)
• Two analog audio RCA-style unbalanced audio phono output jacks.
• A female RS-422 9-pin D connector is available to control an external device
using RS-422 SMPTE (Sony) protocol.
• A full size HDMI connector on the rear panel of the K3G-Box connects to the
HDMI mini-connector on the KONA 4 card with the provided mini-to-full size
adapter cable. The HDMI output signal from the KONA 4 card is then routed
to the full size HDMI connector on the front of the K3G-Box. The HDMI output
supports up to 8 channels of embedded 24-bit digital audio (HDCP is not
supported).
• Three BNC connectors are available for the output of component, composite
or Y/C analog video. KONA 4 features 12-bit component video output for both
HD and SD. SD can be switched between composite and Y/C. This allows use
of an inexpensive analog monitor for both HD and SD work. You can even
use a composite video monitor. For Dual Link HD-SDI output, HD or SD can
be monitored through the component output. Dual Link HD can be output
