HDMI Output on AJA Kona 3G

The HDMI output of the AJA Kona 3G card is now available when an HDMI compatible AJA video raster is selected. That means that if you disable GFX SDI, you can monitor the output of Lustre through the HDMI output (single link only).

Note: There is a slight delay between the DVI monitor and the AJA HDMI output. Also, make sure to enable GPU when monitoring the HDMI output.

The following rasters are available:

- NTSC
- PAL
- 720/50p
- 720/5994p
- 720/60p
- 1080/2397p
- 1080/24p
- 1080/25p
- 1080/2997p
- 1080/30p
- 1080/5994i
- 1080/60i

Note: HDMI output is not available when a PsF raster is selected.

Capture from VTR SDI A / SDI B Link

When working with Dual Link Stereoscopic VTR sources, you can select which SDI input to capture from the Capture menu (AJA-based system only):

- Select the AJA SDI raster (i.e. HD 1080 PsF (23.98).
- From the Input selector pop-up, select:** Single: to capture from SDI link A** Single (B): to capture from SDI link B

- Prior to a TC or EDL capture, make sure to set in the Capture field the name of the stereo eye you are capturing (i.e. capture/left or capture/right).
- Capture the footage and make sure to change the destination folder prior to capturing the other stereo eye to avoid over-writing media files

Note: The SDI 1 or SDI 2 options are not available in the Playout menu.

Shot-based Source Timecode Offset for Telecine-style Playout

Very often, colorists need to provide multiple versions of the same shot with different grades and deliver Telecine-style tapes for editorial and finishing. To make this workflow easier and to avoid confusion, it is now possible to add an offset to the source timecode of each shot. This updated timecode will then be used for Telecine-style playout instead of the original timecode.

Note: The source timecode offset is saved in the cut file.

To add a source timecode offset to a shot:

- Park on the shot you want to modify the source timecode for Telecine-style playout.
- Go to Editing / Playout menu and set the value in the Shot Offset timecode field.

- Save the cut.
- Enable Telecine option and perform the playout.

The modified source timecode will also be used for LTC chase, VTR Emulation and rendering of the Video Info (i.e. timecode burn-in) when Telecine style playout option is enabled.

Telecine-style Playout Pre-roll / Post-roll

When you enable the Telecine-style playout option, black shots are added before and after each shot to provide pre and post-roll. These black segments are not seen in the Storyboard and in the timeline.
