When the Finder is in control of the KONA board, the KONA Control Panel disables the Primary

Format popup and puts a message in the KONA Control Panel “Formats” tab as follows:

KONA Control Panel—3rd Priority

If a QuickTime application is not running and the Default Video Output is not set to Mac Desktop, then the KONA LHe Control Panel gets control of the board.

Control Recommendations

To avoid surprises, run the KONA LHe Control Panel, keep it visible on the desktop—and stay consistent in your settings within all QuickTime applications when working on a project. For example, if you’re working in a particular format (e.g. 525i29.97), it would make sense to set Final

Cut Pro for 525i29.97, the Mac Desktop size to 720x486, and the KONA Control Panel for

525i29.97. Then, when you switch between applications, the output will stay in the same format.

Having the Control Panel running and visible helps because you can always check and see what the board is doing and who has control of it—even when the Control Panel is running in the background.
