If you’re seeing the timecode when you capture, you need to change the super settings on your tape deck. It’s probably in the basic menu of the deck, but I don’t know the item number of that setting offhand.
Using print to video, you’ll only be able to crash record, so you’ll have to manually push the record + play button to lay it back to tape. However, like Shane mentioned, I’m pretty sure you want to use Edit to Tape, especially if you need to have your program start on a specific frame.
The only cables you need going to the tape deck are a single sdi line from the Kona out, to the A500 SDI in, and the Kona RS-422 cable to the deck control in on the A500. Make sure that you set the deck control to remote.
