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
