SDI Preview (Supported by Flame and Lustre - Linux only)

Lustre 2015 and up supports 4K Preview timings and UltraHD 4K footage (UHDTV).On systems with an AJA Kona 3G card or an AJA Kona 4G card, the following timings are supported:

AJA Kona 3G:

• 3840x2160 (23,97p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 30p)
• 4096x2160 (23,97p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 30p)

AJA Kona 4G:

• 3840x2160 (23,97p, 24p, 25p, 29.9p, 30p, 50p, 59.94p, 60p)
• 4096x2160 (23,97p, 24p, 25p, 29.9p, 30p, 50p, 59.94p, 60p)

• In order to use the AJA Kona 3G card in Lustre 2015, you must update the card's firmware to Firmware version "2014/03/19 07:22:10". A script is installed on the workstation when you install the application in /usr/autodesk/lustre_2015/cfgAjaUpdate, that enables you to upgrade and downgrade the AJA Kona 3G's firmware. To run the script to upgrade the firmware for 2015, from a shell, type the following command: cfgAjaUpdate 2015. Once the card is upgraded, it is recognized as AJA Kona 3G Quad.
• Once you have upgraded the card to the AJA Kona 3G Quad firmware, it is no longer be useable with pre 2015 versions of Lustre. If you are running a pre 2015 version of Lustre alongside a 2015 version, you must run this script again, with the [pre2015] variable to downgrade the AJA Kona 3G' Quads firmware. To run the script to downgrade the firmware for pre 2015, from a shell, type the following command: cfgAjaUpdate pre2015.
• If you have downgraded the card's firmware and want to use it again in Lustre 2015, you must re-update the card's firmware, by running the following command: cfgAjaUpdate 2015.
• After running the script, you must power down and reboot your workstation, to make sure the appropriate AJA board firmware is properly installed.
• UHDTV and 4K preview require the AJA Kona 3G Quad card. No Graphic SDI timing should be enabled when working with Video Device SDI timing. Also, when monitoring with the AJA board, the Screen Grab feature is not available (CTRL F7).

You can set the Video Device SDI to these timings, from the Engineering tab of the Project Management menu, using the Timing drop down menu:

• UHDTV
• Film: 4K Timings

It is also possible to change the timing from the Editing / Capture and the Editing / Playout menus.

In Lustre 2016, you can use the AJA board with Single Link RGB (10-bit 444) in 3G mode for HD, UHDTV, and 4K rasters.

1. Select Single Link.
2. Select 3G.
3. Select 4:4:4.
4. Select the HD/UHDTV or 4K timing you want to use.
