Hi, I have some problems with my Aja kona Lhe. I work with tiff and tga sequnces at 720 25p and 1080 25p and with dvc pro hd (converted from mxf inside final cut)

The problems:
Final cut (5.1) only outputs new frames when i hit "pause" space. While playing it keeps the same frame from where i was in timeline until i stop. Then it show the new frame.

also in shake i play a clip in reeltime but when i switch to output throw aja it gets very stroby playback and everything feels slower.


In Kona Lhe controlpanel under the format tab i can only select 720p60 and it says on the primary that "used by mac desctop". If i go to the control tab and change the default format to kona output to something else in the list, then I can change formats but i will not get any picture so i guess it should be on mac desctop.

Cheers Joel.

Ok i keep on reading the manul....
 
What settings are you using for example when you working with a 720p 25 or 24p clips?

Im going from lhe to an hdtv throw the analog out cabels if.
 
In Final Cut, go to the View Menu, then External Video, then make sure All Frames is selected, not Single Frame.. try that..
 
Thanx, "AbstracTheory" Its a good tip but it was on all frames.

I change in aja control panel on the controll tab to test pattern on the default kona output so that i can change formats.

Then i change the format to 720p50 cause i suppose its the compressor that should be used for my 720n 25p footage in the timeline.

The i went to Finalcut.
Im running final cut 5.1.4

Sequence preset 720p25

Device control preset: Dvc pro hd firewire

Video playback: Aja kona 720p50 8bit 1280x720

playback output aja kona 720p50 8bit 1280x720 (yea the same as video playback)


please more feedback, what setting are you using?
 
I also tried with easy setups, for example Aja kona lh 720p 59,94 dvc pro hd
but no luck..


Then again in shake there no settings to change more than active the output. Cant aja output what i see on computer? Instead shake runs over all slower as soon i activate the external out put.

Then agin, to get a picture in shake i have to select the macintosh desktop in the aja kona control panel. And as soon i choose "macintosh desktop" (under the kontrol tab) im stuck with only one optional choice under the format tab for primary framebuffer and that is 720p60!!! so i have no clue what to test.
 
Some updates. I throwed away the final cut prefsfile and a cache file and reinstalled the aja card. Now when i choose easy setup: Aja kona lh 720p 59.94 dvcpro hd i get a moving frames while playing my "720p 25pn recorded footage" but its very jerky!!! Would been nice with some other choiches in easy setup like maby 720p50 but it aint.

In aja control panal im have the primary and secondary format set to 720p59.94 cause thats the best easy setup i found and i want to keep it the same format allt the way.



What are you using for settings? still noby hear using the aja kona series?
