Hey there. I am setting up a new final cut system and am new to Kona. I have a Kona Lhe and am using the breakout cable to go directly into and out of a Sony 2800 Beta deck. I also have the rs422 cable plugged into the deck. I open the Kona control panel and it says "no video" next to the analog triangle, also, in Final cut it sees nothing and can't control the deck. I;ve followed the installation instruction, but feel like there's some missing steps maybe. I don't even really know how to troubleshoot. Is there a way for me to see if I even have deck control?

I would first go into FCP and choose the codec you want to digitize to from the easy setup. That will automatically change the Kona Control Panel to that setting when you're in FCP.
As far as deck control goes, is your VTR in Local or Remote?
Also, just double check your cables to make sure the in and out connectors are all set up right.

OK, I setup the easy settings, and double checked the deck, it is in remote and the component cables are definitely plugged in correctly. What does it mean that there is a red line extending from the analogue triangle on the left of the Kona control panel?
