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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Importing With AJA Kona 3 Card Question?

    For over a year now I have been working with FCP 6 to digitize hours of footage in varied formats. We use everything from Sony XDCAMs, EX1s, HDVs and mini DVs all usually going into the same project.
    Ever since FCP went to 6 we have had the luxury of working in all of these formats without constant rendering which has actually brought up a question I hoped you guys can answer. In a pinch we can log and capture an HDV tape directly from a camera and the clip would work just fine, however, normally when we bring in the HDV and mini DV tapes we run the deck through our AJA Kona 3 card. I am wondering what exactly that does for us? Can I just import all the tapes in their native formats and just drag them into an HD sequence and get the same results?
    The point is, if we can eliminate the need for one of the decks we rent twice a month we would be saving a nice chunk of change, but The quality of the show cannot suffer. So does bringing in the mini DVs through the Kona really add any value that FCP 6 can't already do on its own?

    normally when we bring in the HDV and mini DV tapes we run the deck through our AJA Kona 3 card. I am wondering what exactly that does for us?
    Allows you to capture all your various formats into one single unified format...like ProRes or whatever suits your fancy. Allows you to upconvert your DV to HD to mix well with your HD footage.
    Can I just import all the tapes in their native formats and just drag them into an HD sequence and get the same results?
    No. Working with native formats means that you are mixing formats, meaning that you will have to render one of them to match the other. And you ned to ensure that all of your frame rates match. PLUS, if you use COLOR to color correct, you MUST have a single format sequence.
    So does bringing in the mini DVs through the Kona really add any value that FCP 6 can't already do on its own?
    If this is an HD show...yes, being able to upconvert the DV to HD via hardware is a huge advantage over just rendering it on the timeline.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Issues with AJA and Black Magic

    Has anyone had any issues outputting via AJA and Black Magic cards?
    I have 3 Macs using Black Magic Intesnsity Pro HDMI cards and 1 Mac using an AJA IO Express. On all the machines, i get weird audio issues intermitantly. I press play, no audio comes out. I stop, press play again, no audio comes out but the PP VU meter is registering. I stop, and press play again, and i hear distortion coming from my speakers, i stop and play again, and everything is fine. These issues are consitantly happening, but not necisarily in that order. I also get out of sync audio, then stop and press play again, and its all good.
    I fell as though i have narrowed it down to being between PP and the IO cards, because if i turn the cards off in PP, my audio is fine everytime.
    I have the propper Premiere Pro drivers (for AJA) and all the latest firmware and drivers for black magic. I am playing Quicktime media, usually Apple Pro Res hq or 444. IO and data rate with same codecs works perfectly in FCP. I have also tried using media that is local as opposed to on our server.
    Has anyone had issues with this? Is this a known bug with in PP? Will it ever get fixed???
    Thanks.

    I have expereinced this issue on my Mac Pro right before I switched to a PC.
    Call AJA Support. They are there to help you!

  • Audio video synchronisation problem with Aja Kona Lse

    Hi,
    We have recently bought an Aja Kona Lse card and using it with FCP 6.0.2. At the time of playing back we found that video on external monitor(taken out from *composite out* of aja kona breakout box)lags behind the external speaker audio(taken out from *balanced audio out* of aja kona breakout box) atleast by 2-3 seconds,though the same audio is in sync with FCP canvas video.
    Please help,
    Thanking you in advance

    Are you sure about the source of the audio? Have you double checked the internal routing within FCP?
    What you describe is exactly what happens when the audio is bypassing the external device and going through the Macs system audio. If going through the system audio, it will stay in sync with the Canvas. If going through the card, it should be in sync with the monitor being fed by the same card.
    Good luck,

  • Plain vanillla "Uncompressed 10bit" with AJA Kona ??

    Hi,
    I'm going to be capturing some PAL 10bit Uncompressed footage from DigiBeta using a system with an AJA Kona card (I dont know exactally which model).
    I'll be using the footage on another system with a different card (BlackMagic DeckLinkPro HD). Here is my question: Can I capture the footage using Apple's plain vanilla "Uncompressed 10bit" codec, or do I have to use the AJA codec? I want to avoid any color shifting.
    Thank you !
    Matthew

    Well, I have heard about this as well. What you do is upconvert to the uncompressed codec of choice, or capture to that codec and then color correct, adjust the colors. The other machine, while they might have an AJA or Decklink, will play out that codec.
    AFAIK. Wait for other to chime in...my experience in this area is minor.

  • 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.

  • 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...
