AJA Kona 6.0.3 question

[Colin Mcquillan]

Perhaps I’m mistaken and had the deck down-convert on output while ingesting. Weird though, I remember wondering to myself which would do the better down-conversion, the Sony HDV deck, or the AJA card, and thought I decided to feed the card component HD and let it do the down-convert. This was a few months ago, the deck was a rental i don’t have anymore so the memory is a little foggy.

Probably. You can patch out the SD out from the deck and let it do the downconversion. I did a side by side comparison once and if I remember correctly the deck was a TINY bit better.

Marc- I have down converted my HDV to 525 on ingest many times. Here is what the control panel looks like on down convert;

To get the down convert I set input at 1080i and then right clicked the frame buffer and chose 525.

HTH,

[Marc Istook] “According to the manual included in the 6.0.3 .zip, the regular version should allow you the checkbox option to switch between desktop display enabled or disabled. Is that not the case anymore — that you have to choose prior to installation if you want NDD or not? “

Look under the Setup Tab in the Kona 3 Control Panel. In the area labeled Video Setup, you’ll see a checkbox to Enable Desktop Display.

Yes… Its a screwed up placement for this checkbox but that’s where it is…
