As far as I can tell (pg 14) in the Kona Op manual they refer to the component output as the Analog Monitor Output. That is why I posed the question.
REPLY – this is an analog monitoring output. What this means is that if you have a SDI or HDSDI in/out situation, and you want to monitor what you are going, instead of tying up one of the HDSDI outputs (and having to buy a converter), AJA wonderfully provides you with a “free” CAV output to feed an analog component monitor, or a more modern LCD or Plasma with CAV inputs, so it can feed a HD Y Pb Pr analog signal to this monitor. Of course, you can feel free to use this output to feed your Beta VTR as well. It’s EXCELLENT full quality.

Gefen CAT 5 5000 HD. Gefen also sells seperate DVI extenders that work fantastic with 23″ Apple Cinema monitors – no ghosting.

The main reason for going with the Kona 3 as opposed to the LHe was the real-time up-conversion from SD to HD.
REPLY – In my opinion, you should have bought the AJA I/O, and not the I/O LA
becuase there ain’t no SDI output on the I/O LA, and that is how you feed the Kona 3.As I understand it from the K3 Op manual I can output SD component video out of the card to feed my Beta deck.(?) However, if I want to get analog audio out of the K3 (box) I will need a D/A converter (M Audio

I answer so many posts, I have no idea of what you are talking about. What is a M10U – it aint’ an AJA converter – is it a VTR ? If you are using FCP, you must go into the Audio/Video Settings/Capture Presets OR the Easy Setups to select the input that you want (for composite, component, SDI, S-Video).
Give me more info on your system, and I will advise if I can. while you are at it, download the AJA Pro I/O Control panel – this will help you confirm if your I/O is ok, or if it’s just an FCP menu setting.bob zelin

yes, you can. You can run the XServe RAID and the AJA I/O upside down if you like. But the XServe RAID is deep, and wants to be in a 26″ deep rack.

this monitor uses a standard VESA mount, that can be purchased from countless mail order companies, in a million combinations, like Premier mounts, and Chief. They have stands with arms, stands with booms, swivels, every kind you can think of.

to do what with it ? To use it as a stand alone converter, so you can get SDI into the analog component inputs ? I have a better idea – how about learning FCP, and just use it as your REAL video capture board, and have a great edit system.
Of course, you could buy an Adrenaline.

I apologize in advance for making any assumptions, but I ASSUME that you have a J-3 that has SDI output (like a J-30SDI), and are not trying to use a model that does not have SDI outputs on it (you did not specify the exact model, and Sony has many J-3 models, some that do not have SDI outputs).
I would have tried taking the analog composite or analog component outputs of the VTR into the Kona LS, to see if that worked. I ASSUME that the VTR works, and that you have put the output of the VTR composite output on a TV monitor to make sure that it is working.
I assume that you have selected an easy setup with SDI in it, and that you have double checked the Audio/Video settings>Capture Presets, and double clicked on this menu, to make sure that SDI is the selected video input.
Just checking – there are A LOT of menu’s to check .

ya gotta capture audio too !
Buy the I/O LA.

what brand of Black gen are you using. I hope it’s not an ESE, as this is an unstable unit. AVID Adrenaline’s will never lock to an ESE, so I assume that the blackmagic would have the same issues.
