AJA Kona LHe with 7.0 driver Freezes display on sleep

Loading the 7.0 drivers causes the display to
freeze the display if the system goes to sleep.
Configuration:
* OS X 10.6 and 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
* Kona LHe board
* 7.0 driver
* Mac Pro
* Intel 2 X 2.66 dual-core xeon processors
Tested by installing a "virgin" 10.6, rebooted,
put the system to sleep. The system successfully
wakes back up multiple times.
Installed the 7.0 drivers:
http://www.aja.com/ajashare/AJAKonaLHe7.0.zip
Rebooted. Put the system to sleep.
Wake it back up (key stroke or mouse)
The display is frozen completely, and displays
only what was on the screen when the machine
went to sleep (the seconds on the time/date
are frozen as of the time the system went
to sleep.)
Rebooted in 64-bit mode. The display is still
frozen after waking up from sleep.
The only thing that changed on this virgin 10.6
install was adding the AJA Kona LHe drivers. There
are no other boards in the computer.
Also tried upgrading to 10.6.1. Same results.
So, do you guys have any tips or ideas
I could try to fix this problem and keep
the system from seizing-up when it goes
to sleep?
For now, the workaround is never spinning
down the hard drives and display. Not very
environmentally conscious.
Thanks in advance for any feedback
or suggestions,
Kurt

I was having the exact same problem with freezing after waking from sleep mode after I downloaded the Kona Lhe 7.0 driver. My configuration was: OSX 10.6.1; Kona LHe board, 7.0 Lhe Driver; Mac Pro; Intel 2 x 2.66 dual core xeon processors.
So I wiped the drive and did a clean install of Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and FCP (7.01). I installed the Kona Lhe 7.0 NDD driver instead of the Kona Lhe 7.0 Driver, and now the sleep function is working just fine.
I'm not sure if the problem was solved by the Kona NDD update alone, or if it was the combination of the latest FCP 7.01 update plus the Kona NDD update.
Hope that helps

Final Cut 6 and AJA Kona LHe

Ok, so we're upgrading all our edit bays at work to FCP Studio 2.
One of the bays in my dept. is having issues.
We have an AJA Kona LHe that outputs to a BETA SX deck.
Does anyone know if FCP 6 has issues with this card? So far, no combination of settings has made it work.
Ideas?

we did install the new drivers (v4) and it still didn't work. Apparently, the IT guy here is going to call AJA later today. It's good to hear they have great tech support. I feel like noone does anymore.
When we upgraded my bay we had a codec issue and called Apple, they told us to start a new project from scratch.... It's one I've been building for years now. They weren't very helpful.
Thanks, I'll update this when I get more info on it/resolve it so others might get help when searching the forum!

AJA Kona LHe LHi Playback not working

I'm running two separate Mac Pros that also have Final Cut Pro 7 using a AJA Kona LHe and LHi. Both share the same issues when previewing with a broadcast monitor.FCP works perfect with the Kona cards.
The video signal seems to drop out during playback and audio drops out as well.
I have the newest drivers for Kona 9.0.3 and using the 8,5 aja adobe plugin for CS5. I didn't want to install the the AJA Adobe CS5.5 plugins in fear of messing things up.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the control panel and the plugins with no luck, The editor seems to be fine its mainly the playback in the monitor that's not working right.
Is this a CS5 thing? Will CS5.5 version fix the issues with Kona cards? I'm seriously thinking about moving over to Preimiere but need to know if thgis setup will work.
Any help would be much appreiciated.

Kind of similar. The audio issue is like that. Drops out until I stop playback then restart playback. AJA said to not use kona card but uot put setting instead. That helps but didn't fix it 100% Video playback drops out completely for me with the HDMI out of the LHi. The component out from the LHe works better.
My playback in the program looks good my issue is with external the external monitor playback.
I'm editing with ProRes 422 LT and ProRes 422
Nice video sample. Thats a good way to show your issue. I should do the same thing.

Compatibility G5/AJA Kona LHe

I have a G5, and i bought one AJA Kona LHe... I knew that could be not compatible... Is it true?

Depends on the model of G5 that you have. The LHe is for PCI-Express equipped G5s (the "Late 2005" models) whereas you'd need the LH model if you have an older G5 with PCI-X/PCI slots.

Issues with AJA Kona Lhe+

When using JKL the playback on the the control monitor (going thu the card) is lagging.
But when I don't go thru the card and playback full screen on my computer screen it works fine...
Any ideas what's going on?

Dowloaded the driver, restarted the computer, and still same issue
Video card:
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
What's interesting is that when we chose full screen playback on the computer monitor everything's fine (vs the control monitor playback which gives us the issue of lagging)
thx again for helping!

Need help choosing between AJA Kona LHe v. BM Multibridge Pro

Hi gang,
I'm purchasing a MacPro 3GHz and need to put in one of these cards to bring in component and SDI signals. Big differences seem to be:
* Multibridge has HDMI output for monitoring, AJA does not although AJA has two SDI outs (which requires SDI->HDMI converter for monitoring at extra $$).
* AJA has DVCProHD and Dynamic RT effects hardware acceleration but the Multibridge does not.
Question: is the hardware acceleration on the AJA worth the price difference? Or is this a bunch of hogwash and the Multibridge performs just fine with FCP Studio with DVCProHD and RT effect?
Any other comparison experiences between these two cards will be most helpful!
Thanks.
MacPro 3GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i bought a multibridge extreme a couple months ago, and returned it for a few reasons:
1)- cheap, unbalanced fan made a **** of a racket...
2)- the box kept interfering with my monitors (they would start cycling on and off when the box was hooked to the computer.
I was super disappointed in the service i received from BM (after Kaspar Ko told me to contact him, he never answered any of my emails). I have heard BM support pales in comparison to Aja, but Aja is more expensive.
the multibridge needs some help, and i am sure will eventually be an awesome tool (right now i am hounding the boys who make scopebox to upgrade to multi input capture to work with the multibridge's 2 sdi inputs for mutlicam capture on a single macpro), but for now they have to spend a little more time on R&D.
Used the Kona2 at a studio last summer that i was working for and found it pretty flawless...

AJA KONA LHe Plus I/O card -- major problems

Is anyone else having problems with this card when using Premier Pro and After Effects CS6?
I've installed the new card drivers and spoken to AJA technical support to no avail.
I spend at least 15% of my editing time reinstalling AJA drivers, restarting applications and my computer. The card works provided I don't leave a particular program. Toggling between Premier Pro and After Effects "breaks" something.
I've about given up on this card.
I use Windows 7, 64 bit on an HP Z820 workstation.
On a second note -- what I/O card do you like?
Thank you.

You may get better answers in teh Premiere and AE forums...

AJA Kona LHe and Matrox MXO2

Hello, I've started to research I/O devices and am confused a little on some features that I am not sure about. From what I've read, they both seem to be somewhat similar with the MXO2 having a couple things that I think would work for me. A little background first.
I would like to start doing weddings, local productions and documentaries. I plan on getting an 8-core MP and I want to venture into HD and P2 territory but, would also like the flexibility to work with SD and tape-based formats as well. Also, I would like the option to connect a VCR so I could transfer old family videos to digital.
I do have a budget so I trying to prioritize my needs until I start bringing in income. I can't afford a professional HD monitor or a deck yet. Tats being said, From what I've been able to understand, the MXO2 seems like a good choice. It's got HD/SD SDI, component and composite I/O's, six RCA outputs for surround sound monitoring, and HD/SD monitoring vis HDMI.
I'm just trying to make a purchase so I won't regret it later; I would prefer to spend a few extra bucks and try to get everything in one package.
Is having SDI mean you can monitor with it or do you need a card or box that is specifically for monitoring? The MXO2 says it can turn your display or HDTV to mimic professional monitor; are there any drawbacks to this? Also, do the composite I/Os mean I can connect a VCR to capture?
thx

You should post this question in the Final Cut Pro discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=939
Lots of folks using and discussing AJA and MXO there...

Satellite Pro L500-12E - Issue with CD/DVD drive and display

Hello...
I have some questions about my laptop..
1. Is it normal that on some DVD/CD's the DVD rom it very loud and vibrates a lot, spesialy on older CD's..
2.The cover/lid of my laptop when i close it its kinda not in line with the rest of the pc it is not totaly alligned but its kinda hard to see expect when you look for it..but its properly on and its not lose or anything just not alinged to the "body" of the laptop
3.The lid again, Underneath the screen where the lid is mounted to the "body" off the laptop if.. it is not glued to the screen like the rest of the edges its just putted next to it you can drag in it so you can see the wires going into the screen etc
is that normal?
-thanks

1 I can imagine that CDs/DVDs are louder. Maybe are they a little bit out of shape and by spinning you can notice some vibrations. Be sure the discs are placed properly into optical disc drive.
2 It is not easy to discuss about it without some picture but I don't think it is some serious issue.
3 What you see is probably cable for WLAN antenna. WLAN antenna is placed behind the LCD.
I cannot confirm this is normal or not normal because I don't have L500 but if you want to have professional opinion visit nearest Toshiba service and show what do you mean exactly.
For me all this don't sound as some serious issues or hardware problems.

Edit to tape with Kona Lhe

At work tomorrow, I have to lay a 59.94 sequence on to a DVCPRO HD deck with no firewire option. So I'm using my Kona Lhe with SDI output and deck control. A couple things to ponder... Audio and Video ARE getting to the deck through the SDI. I am able to crash record with no problem. I am able to black and code the tape. No problem there. I black the tape from 58:30 to shortly past 1 hour, 30 seconds. I set my "In Point" to 59:00, but when I go to assemble record the sequence, the "Insert", "Assemble", and "Preview" drop zones are disabled. We tried an SR deck and the drop zones were working, but when it went to start the edit to tape, it rewound the deck all the way to the beginning of the tape and then sat there. Tried every possible combination of device preferences. I gotta figure this out if I want to work here again. Patrick, I'm looking in your direction.

This guy was trying to do the same thing:
http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/923999?pview=t#head
But...you don't have ASSEMBLE as an option? And you are dragging the sequence from the browser into the EDIT TO TAPE window, right?

Intermittent noise through line out + AJA Kona

I have a MacPro Dual Proc 2.66 dual core that's about 18 months old, with an AJA Kona LHe card that I use for film and audio editing. The Kona feeds an SDi input JVC Reference Monitor and the AJA KL interface feeds my Mackie mixer. The Audio line out also goes to the Mackie, so that I can monitor iTunes and Amadeus via AJA or Line out, depending on my process.
I have started noticing a really low intermittent hum that arrives at the mixer via the AJA KL box or from the analogue out. It is usually not there when I first start working but after an hour or so it starts, each burst lasts about 3-4 secs and is very low, painful to the ears.
I've tried plugging earphones in to the front socket and there is no hum at all.
I've tried linking fan activity to the hum without success.
I have SoundStiks for Desktop audio and there's no hum there either. I prefer to work with headphones when editing so I really want the AJA sound to be clean but can't fathom where the sound is coming from. Any ideas?

HI I am having the same problem with HUmming sounds coming from my Mackie mixer also. But the sound is constant and wont go away using the ajay card.
selecting the outputs to Internal speakers, or LINE OUT, or Digital out. the system using headphones I do not hear the humming only when selecting the AJA kona 3 card OUtput..I hear it with headphones and with external speakers.
When the Mac PRO QuadCore- Intel Xeon 2 x 3Ghz restarts the sound is still there during boot up and even if the system is shutdown.as long as the RCA cables are plugged into Ch1 and CH2 you will hear humming. BUT if you unplug the RCAs from CH1 and CH2 the hum stops.
I tried using a different wall outlet for power for the Mackie mixer and the external speakers I still had HUM. I tried another rackmounted AJAK3-Box still there was a HUM.
I am running out of ideas.
THis card has been in production in our environment for over years now. BUT the system recently was relocated to a new office...
I think it has something to do with the AC power in this area..
Is there something wrong with this card? Could there be a driver update? Have you resolved your issue YET?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Audio Playback Issues in Premiere Pro 8.1.0 with AJA Kona 3

Hi,
I'm supporting a couple of edits running the latest version of Premiere Pro. The editors are experiencing some strange stuttering/glitching audio playback via the installed AJA Kona 3 cards, manifested as follows:
When scrubbing using keyboard arrow keys for any prolonged period of time, audio either begins to stutter or fails to playback (despite there being activity on the audio monitors within the software)
When playing audio with unrendered effects (nothing too challenging, unrendered titles etc.), the audio will occasionally not play at all or will begin to stutter also.
Specs are as follows:
HP z800 running Windows 7 64-bit
2 x Intel Xeon X5650 CPUs
32GB RAM
512GB Samsung SSD
nVidia Quadro 4000 (latest drivers installed)
AJA Kona 3 (latest drivers installed)
Wacom Intuos 4 tablet (latest drivers installed)
Storage is a SMB share connected via a dedicated 1Gb/s ethernet link (Intel PRO 1000 card) and media is largely DVCPRO HD 100 wrapped as OP1a MXF, with corresponding sequence settings.
I've played with various RAM and Playback settings (including setting the AJA video playback buffer to 'minimum' as suggested on another thread regarding audio playback), but the problems persist. Is there anything else I can try, or more information I can provide?

Since it worked with CS5.5, check with Blackmagic to see if they have updates for CS6
I know from other discussions that an nVidia driver update was needed for at least some people upgrading to CS6

CS6 - no external monitoring of Program with AJA Kona

I guess this is still unsupported by AJA, since they don't have the Adobe AJA plugs updated for CS6 on their site as of an hour ago.
BUT... I copied the AJA folder from my Library>ApplicationSupport>Adobe>Plug-ins>Common>MediaCore>CS5.5 folder into the one for CS6.
AJA shows up in the Preferences>Playback>Default Player option. I can get full-screen external monitoring through the Kona in the Source window, and also with the Hover Scrub. Just nothing in the Program, which means I can't get CUDA external full-screen playback... yet.
So... has anybody figured a workaround to get playback on a Kona with Pr CS6?
Mac 10.6.8, latest drivers, etc. Kona LHi

Well, at this point, the driver for Kona is available, and the bad, bad, news is that it's indeed Lion only.
This is the ONLY reason I have for upgrading to Lion. Every other piece of software I own is running just fine on 10.6.8. This includes Media Composer 6.
I've got a test partition on which I have Lion installed, and it's a freaking nightmare. I've spent almost three days reinstalling software, drivers, plug-ins, with days to go before I get it all done (I have over 5000 fonts, 3/4 of which weren't recognized by FontExplorerX, forcing me to reinstall and recategorize them.).
This is the most painful "upgrade" in my history with Mac, which goes back to System 4 or 5.
I HATE the new auto-correct feature, the security measures that think I'm not an Admin when I am, and the fact it just seems a lot slower than Snow Leopard. Two of the Zaxwerks plugs for Ae are a hundred times slower.
I'm starting to hate Apple. And I'm going to start hating AJA too, if they don't come up with an Adobe driver for 10.6.8.
Sorry, I'm venting. The last three days have been hell.
