Aja kona LHI

I have a new Kona card, but I got a new dvc pro deck with firewire do I still need the io card, I do have to deliver with closed captioning

That's a great card. If you ever need to uprez to HD that card will do a pretty good job. Do you use a external monitor? If not now you can. HDMI and component I/O. These are just a few examples of the LHi. Only you now if you need all the features. Take a look at the feature set on AJA website. Dont know about closed captioning. Does the card do this? I dont think it does.

AJA Kona LHi to capture analog vid for hobbyist. Recommended?

I am a FCP amature / hobbiest and looking for a convienent way to capture analog (s-video, composite, component) video to my MAC-Pro and FCP.
I am looking for a good mixture of "good" and "cheap" (it's all relative I know... just generally speaking).
I am thinking about the AJA Kona LHi. Any thoughts? Remember... this is only a hobby for me.. no broadcast. Other than the Kona LH(i,e,s) products.. what do you suggest? I don't care if it's a card or a box.
Your advice is greally appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The ADVC 300 is more like $400.
Another option is the Matrox MXO2 mini.
For straight DV/ Standard def capture the ADVC 300 does a better job.
However, the Matrox box also gives you the ability to send an HD signal to an external monitor - which the ADVC300 will not do.

CUDA acceleration and Aja Kona LHi output on Mac

Hi, I hope some of you can answer my question. I'm getting mixed information right now. So can I have CUDA acceleration turned on when outputtin picture through Aja Kona Lhi? Or is it so that CUDA and I/O devices such as Blackmagic/Aja cards don't work together? Best Tapio

Those Mac Pro's should be fine with the Nvidia cards. The new ones are not approved with them and are not supported according to Apple. It took Blackmagic several months to get the driver worked out to allow the MPE in a Blackmagic project so I am not suprised if AJA is still working on it. I will say that we have not tried the MPE with the Blackmagic on the Mac side. We have many times on the PC side and it works fine as does Matrox.

Premiere Pro Audio Slipping with AJA Kona LHI

I have noticed that when I run Premiere Pro CC (Latest updates) My audio playing back on the Kona and on the desktop will progressively slip out of sync when my Kona LHI card is enabled through the video output options. The sync issue goes away when the card is unchecked. The initial release of PRCC did not have this problem, but when the updates were issued soon after, the slipping issue cropped up. Anybody have these problems? Any suggestions?

I realize this is a year old but was this issue resolved?
For what its worth I've had/have similar problems with Premiere Pro CC and the AJA Kona LHi card. Just call AJA support 1-530-271-3190 and speak to their tech support gurus. Their folks are awesome. I just tell them what I'm trying to do and they will stay on the line and help until you can get things running again. No fees for customer support, nothing to register for... just call them and ask for help and they will!
I wish more companies operated this way.

Aja Kona LHI external video issues

I have Afters Effects CS5.5 and a Kona LHI, and I am unable to turn off or change the settings of my external video preview. It is always outputting 1080i. This started when I upgraded to CS5.5 and Mac Lion OS. I have the same hardware as when I had CS4 and Leopard and never had this issue. Final Cut Pro is outputting fine and I have verified my AJA Kona setting are correct. Any help would be appriciated.

After hearing from AJA I reinstalled the KNOA drivers and now Final Cut Pro or Premiere will not output through the KONA LH at all while AE is open. When AE is closed everything else works fine. This is the error message I received from Final Cut Pro 7.
"Unable to open the specified Video Output device.
It may be in use by another application, incorrectly connected or may be conflicting with a sound device."

QT vs MP4 Issues - Mac PP CS5 - AJA Kona LHi - JVC GY-HM700U

I have sourced an hours worth of 1080i footage with my JVC HM700U in the Quicktime format (Sony XDCAM-EX). This footage plays pay perfectly in Final Cut Pro with the Kona Card. In PP CS5, the footage stutters, has horrible audio issues, and is just not "ready for prime-time"
However, using the same camera, but sourcing footage in the MP4 format - PP CS5 plays out the files with no issues at all. Is there a known bug with PP5 and Quicktime? I know the AJA card is working fine, as it works with FCP.
I have installed all the latest drivers, software updates and plug ins for both Premiere and Kona (updated within the past two days).
Any ideas?

Yes, I am on a MAC -- The 64 bit Nature of PPCS5 certainly is a factor here. The interesting part of this for me is that none of these manufacturers really state this shortcoming in their marketing. JVC says their workflow is seemless into both applications PPro and Final Cut.
AJA said they have not seen any issues with Quicktime and Premiere--- and Adobe has been promoting their acceptance of QT since last September.
It just doesnt work correctly. Would love to hear if anyone else shares this experience.
One BIG positive so far-- The combination of The Mercury Engine and Cuda renders at lightning speed... I just rendered a 10 Minute H264 hi def movie in less than three minutes out of PPro -- blows away FCP as of now...

CS5.5, 10 bit, AVCIntra, AJA Kona and GTX580 vs Quadro

I will be purchasing a new editing computer in june. I'm switching over from Final Cut Pro on a Mac. Why am I switching? For a lot of reasons, but suffice it to say, CS5.5 is really looking like a time saver, and seems to make good business sense overall. And being independent, I don't really care about conforming to any one dogmatic camp (FCP or Avid, and the like).
I'm working a lot with AVCIntra footage (10-bit) and client-provided 3D generated content (also 10-bit). I'll have an AJA Kona LHi (supporting 10-bit) installed.
I've read a lot on the GeForce vs. Quadro, and understand that there is not much advantage to a Quadro, other then the extra edge for 3D applications. And that Geforces are 8-bit and Quadro are 10-bit. So price wise, the Geforce 580 for CS5.5 is probably my best bet.
My main questions are: Does PProCS5.5 fully support 10-bit, end-to-end? And if the GeForce is only 8-bit (though I've glimpsed somewhere the 580 might support 10-bit), will it impact real-time MPE playback outputed on the AJA Kona card? With the AJA Kona LHi installed, does it matter at all that I have an 8-bit or a 10-bit GPU card?
On a side note, there is a GTC590 now, with dual GPUs. Anyone tested it yet with the hack? Or will it be the same problem as with SLI GeForces not being supported by PPro?
One a second side note, I know people ask a lot about the best hardware to use. I've read a lot of posts about them. Most of them are quite old posts. As of May 2011, Any recommendations on components? Such as motherboards, raid cards, GTX580 manufacturer, etc.? But I'm especially interested to find out if the 6-core 990X i7 is worth the investment, compared to the 2nd gen 4-core i7 2600K? I would presume yes. But have never seen real world tests. And would a dual Xeon truly be twice as fast? Investment wise, much like the Geforce vs Quadro issue, I'm not sure it's worth 3 times the price for most likely less then twice the speed. Any comments?
Thank you all,

Actually I am trying to get an answer to your 10 bit question via the I/O device currently. I am verifying if the I/O device is independent of the OGL 10Bit query Adobe does for the 10bit draw or if the I/O device passes the query. If not then do you have to have a Quadro card installed even with the I/O devices. Once I have the info, I will post it for you.
The AJA drivers before the 5.5 update did not work completely with the hardware acceleration, so an AJA card would slow the MPE performance down if using an AJA preset and the card. I am unsure if that is still the case with the new 5.5 version however they don't show an update for 5.5 on their website. I would call and talk to AJA on that one.
The MPE does not support Multi GPU so the 590 would be slower than the 570 or 580.
The 990X is worth it if you work allot in AE or overclock. Also what codec is the 3D material you will be working with?

HVR25 to Kona LHi via HDMI

Anyone using a Sony HRV25 HDV VCR in conjunction with an Aja Kona LHi card to bring video (& audio) into Final Cut as ProRes 422 1080i 29.97 through the HDMI out of the deck into the HDMI input of the LHi card?
Success? Failure?
Does HDMI from the HR25 get recognized by the LHi?

Or, is anyone using an HVR25 to send HDMI into any Aja Kona card or IoHD with any Easy Setup at all?
I'm not able to get any video into an LHi card via HDMI.

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.

Unable to batch capture with Premiere Pro CC via Kona LHi

AJA's web site claims Premiere Pro CC is compatible with the Kona LHi card, but I can't get the two to work together properly. After repeated tries, I uninstalled and reinstalled everything AJA, but still no luck.
I need to batch capture DV clips from some mini-DV tapes on my Sony MVR035U tape deck. But I also need to upconvert them from 480i to 720p60 using my Kona Lhi card. I should be able to do this with Premiere Pro CC. But the PPCC Capture window won't give me any audio feedback when I select "AJA Movie Capture" in the Capture Settings pull down menu. I only get audio feedback when I enable "DV capture" but then I'm no longer able to upconvert.
Looking forward to any feedback on this issue. Been tying all day to trouble shoot this problem.

And now with CC June 2014 you can't even capture from HDV, I need to go back to Premiere CC 2013 for that....Adobe might think tape capture is over... but it isn't totally yet...

Two of our systems are LHi boards with zero issues to report other than we cannot lay back to tape properly yet. Though the new drivers released today promise to address that problem, we haven't had a chance to download and test yet.
