KONA 3 will not playback on CRT Monitor

Hi
I am having problems with playback of clips and sequences in a DVCPRO HD 720p50 project. When I view clips on a JVC CRT monitor, via SDI out, using the 625i 25 down conversion feature in the KONA control panel, I only get a still frame until I stop playback at which point the frame updates to the current frame. Strangely, if I drag the playhead through the clip I can see the clip playing fine.
I have made sure that 'External Video' setting in FCP is set to all 'All Frames'.
I've made sure that the Video Playback option is set to AJA Kona 720p 50 8 bit (1280X720).
The Kona 3 Control Panel has been set up the recognise the 720p50 frame setting and down convert to 625i25(PAL) for output to the SD CRT monitor.
The only time I get proper playback on the monitor is when I set FCP video playback to AJA Kona 720p25 8 Bit DVCProHD(1280x720). However I get an awful strobe effect on the monitor.
I'm wondering whether the KONA presets even support this type of project/clip as nowhere can I find a preset that recognises my frame size - 960x720. The footage was shot on the Panasonic HVX200.
Any help would be really appreciated as I've spent many hours trying to find the right settings
Thanks

I suspect that the cameraman recorded the material at 720p50 PN. This uses less space on the P2 card or Firestore, but the footage has a timebase of 25 fps, which apparently the Kona card doesn't handle.
Ask the camera person to record at the normal 720p50 setting on the camera, and the normal P2 or Quicktime setting on the recording media.
As for the footage you already have, there is a method in Compressor, to get it to 50fps.
For the setting select Advance Format Conversion - DVCPRO HD 720p60, and in the inspector Encoder (2nd button from the left) for the video settings select "Custom" and type in "50"
(By the way, this is also a workaround if you don't have FCP 6 and the new Frame Rate Converter to make a nice slow motion. After you get it to 50fps use Cinema Tools to conform the footage to 25 fps and it makes it play at 50 percent speed)
(Disclaimer - I have only a little experience with the HVX200, but this is what has worked for me.)

  • Elements 11 will not playback video

    just installed elements 11 and have added an mpeg4 file.  all appears good but can not playback the video.  only a white screen where the video should play.  if i double click the clip the edit window  behaves the same.  How do I get the video to play?  no error messages are displayed.  and the audio plays normally.

    What you might want to try is renaming the file extension to: mts, .m2t,
    .m2ts, .avi, or .mov to see if the renamed file imports into Premiere
    Elements 11 and displays its video.  The video imports to elements fine
    with no errors and renders fine with no errors.  In the playback window it
    shows the video when paused.  When I move the time line cursor the video
    window reacts as you would expect by showing the frames as you move past
    them.  The issue is when you click play under the playback window, it turns
    white and you hear the audio with no video.

  • Will not playback audio or video in preview or project monitor

    First off i am running PP CS3 on an Imac with leapord... 4gb ram... 300 gb of free hard drive... 3.06 processor and i am having a problem with playback... i open the project i am wanting to work on and i go to playback in either window(preview or project) and it will play for about 15 secs with no problem with audio or video, and then out of nowhere the audio quits and then if i stop the playback and try to restart it there is now playback at all, only a frozen frame from where the playhead started. For now i have an external monitor i am able to view on with no problem via firewire and it is a decent temporary solution but i will not be able to do this for long... I appreciate any and all help, and if there is any more info needed to solve this problem feel free to let me know
    Thank You

    Well, if your previewing via an external monitor via firewire, that
    seems to imply that the timeline playback is in fact working.
    First question: Is this on ANY project, or just this one...that you know of.
    Second: Is there anything at this 15 second point on the timeline. Some
    different type of media than the rest, something like that?

  • MacBook Pro will not run my external monitor

    My External monitor will not come on with my MacBook Pro after I installed Mountain Lion. I get the wallpaper but that is all. Any ideas? I have been running the Mcbook Pro with the cover closed with the external monitor, with no problems up until I installed Mountain Lion.

    My hard drive is now connected.  But Time Machine will not let me select the hard drive as my back up drive. This hard drive was used on another Macbook, so Time Machine doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive on the new one.  Do I need to reformat the hard drive? I hate to do that because I have the previous backups on there.

  • Will not display on most monitors.. very frustrating..

    I purchased my MBA a couple weeks ago and have successfully been able to connect 1 monitor (over VGA).
    I have tried two projectors (neither will work, although it will detect both of them) and it will not connect to my Viewsonic at home (both my other macbook and macbook pro work fine on it).
    It's extremely frustrating.. I'm finding this MBA to be the most flakey laptop I've ever owned.. Anyone have and advice?

    Have you found the solution to your problem? I tried to connect it to my Viewsonic VG2030wm and so far it cannot detect the display

  • Logic will not playback audio unless movie is visible?

    Hello everyone,
    I've scored many movies in Logic and except for running out of horsepower have never had a problem like this...until today.
    The problem: Whenever I dont have the movie visible, ALL audio stops!! Its not just this new project, but all past projects as well (all of which use to work fine!). For example, I can play back the movie and its audio tracks visible. But then when I close the movie, the sound will just stop. It will not return until I open the movie again. What this means is I cannot switch to my "matrix only" or my "mixer only" screensets and hear whats going on!! Its very odd!!
    I tried "OPTION-click on File -> New" to force Logic to create a fresh default song and I still get the same behavior; all audio will stop when movie is closed and will only play again if I re-opened the movie file.
    In December I reinstalled my entire system software, logic, sample libs, etc. in the hopes of making logic more stable. I recently rebuilt my template from scratch with the same hopes. I haven't used logic on a project in about 3 months. I dont understand why I seem to have so many problems, as I've yet to have a problem-free project in all my time using Logic. (sad but true). Any ideas on why this is happening? Has anyone experienced this particular problem?
    I'm going to continue troubleshooting this problem (trashing audio prefs, etc.) Will post my findings. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
    Message was edited by: Jonathan Timpe

    ok, I found the problem. I forgot in my new aggregate audio setup, one device only works at 44.1k, while the project is in 48k. Chalk this one up to user error. Logic, will you every forgive me! You know I still love you...right?

  • Itunes will not playback music...?

    I have a nearly brand new iPhone 3 (less than 2 months). Recently I have been having problems with iTunes. For example, if I choose a song, it will "play" - ie: the play button is now changed to pause, as if I could pause the song, but the bar showing time progression is at 0:00 and will not move forward.
    I have tried restarting iTunes and restarting the phone. I have also done all recent updates to the phone...Any tips?

    Howdy ICrashIn2000,
    It sounds like there's an issue playing back music in iTunes on your iMac. Take a look at the article linked below and make sure the issue isn’t caused by incompatible third-party iTunes plug-ins.

  • Imove preview and full screen will not playback on one of my monitors

    I have two 23" Apple Monitors, I can view all the videos on one, i.e. thumbs and preview. However if I move to the other screen, I lost the preview, It's black and mirrors the menu bars if you pull them down. I have a powerful mac, also with two Graphic Graphics in, installed by Apple. Can anyone help, if you can understand the above.

    Thank you so very much, I didn't know what to do,  I could not return it to Amazon as I was just past the 60 days and I only used it for a total of 5 hours... THANK YOU

  • Final Cut Pro X will not playback viewer contents on external monitor

    Tried to follow directions to Playback the Final Cut ProX Viewer on a separate monitor.
    Option Window > A/V Output greyed out. how do I use a second Monitor to view results?

    Typically you need A/V output hardware from AJA or Blackmagic (and they are recommended for various reasons) but if you want to use your TV or display as a second monitor and also use them for FCP X playback then the trick is to disable the Mavericks feature in Mission Control: "Displays have separate spaces"

    I have tested the HDMI cable, and that is not the problem.  Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

    It may not hurt to reset the Mac's parameter RAM.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    Hope this helps,

  • Audio will not playback when using the blackmagic card

    Hey
    I have a Premiere Pro CS.5.5 running on MacPro running lion and with a black magic extreme 3d card.
    Audio wont playback in source window, i hit play and nothing happens the time and cursor just stand still, no audio playing no errors no nothing.
    However if i put that wav file in my timeline everything works fine.
    Video plays fine in the source monitor and outputs to my SDI monitor with the black magic card.
    If i go to preferences and player settings and select adobe player as the default instead of blackmagic then the audio (and still video) works fine.
    in the source viewer but i am not getting anny image on my SDI monitor.
    The timeline and record window everything still works fine.
    Have annyboddy had this problem

    Everything is set up right.
    And when i put stuff in the timeline all is outputting fine on the monitor and with the audio
    So if i am trying to play a wav file in the source window, the cursor is not moving and the timecode is not counting it just dosent move.
    But as soon as i drag the wav file to the timeline there is no problem, the audio file is playing just perfect.
    So it is the source window that is the problem.
    Thank you for all you help

  • "Merlin" 1080p stream will not playback in Apple TV

    This is an unusual problem with the new Apple TV 3rd Gen which replaced a Gen 2.
    It is only evidenced in the last two episodes of "Merlin" downloaded from iTunes Store. We initially noted the problem on the final episode of the current season, the first we had tried with the new Apple TV. The setup is essentially the same as with the Gen 2, i.e. almost new Panasonic 55, almost new certified HDMI, directly HDMI to the set.
    What happens is that the audio plays, but not the video. We have since tried to play the penultimate episode, i.e. ep. 12 and get the same problem. It will play fine at 1080p from either computer in the room (through the network to the Panasonic through Apple TV.
    More perplexing is that the Gen 3 will playback without problem 1080p movies streamed from the iTunes Store. To date, the only difficulty we have had is with Merlin.
    We've tried resetting, etc. We cannot get this problem except with Merlin.
    Any suggestions.

    Merlin season 4 has a problem in iTunes store. When my iTunes set up to get 1080p by default, it gets a 55Mb file sontaining, seems like, audio only. If set to 720p, it gets a 1.2Gb file. If I try to get the episode to iPad3, it gets the bogus 55Mb file that the iTunes store thinks is the 1080p version of the episode.
    I has got to be a glitch in the iTunes store.
    SD version (450Mb or so) downloads just fine.
    I think the deal is, the 1080p version in the store is corrupted. iPad can't choose which one to get, so it will ne\ot even play the episode at all. A computer can get the 720p by preference, so it is possible to get it in some HD but not in 1080.
    I bet the same thing happens to ATV: it tried to get the default HD size for the device, which is a 1080p, but the data are bogus, so it shows nothing. If you could select 720 it would play it.
    Hopefully Apple fixes this soon. This was my first attempt at buying a show and I have to say, it took me a long time to figure out what is happening.

  • New! MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 MOBO/Will not send signal to monitor/

    Hi there, I've tried  few topics already on the forum but none were unique to my problem. Let's see if I can make this as clear as possible.
    I bought this MOBO in order to run a computer that was given to me. Here are the Specs:
    AMD Athlon x2
    400W PSU
    Nvidia 9800GT
    250GB Seagate HDD
    Every time I start the computer the fans turn on and even the CD Drive Operates, however my monitor has gotten "No Signal" every time. This is a standard VGA going straight into the motherboard. Tried 2 different monitors with the same result. Even tried without the video card in, no signal.
    Now, I have another monitor with me that supports DVI. So now I have tried DVI from the monitor to the GPU, still, no signal.
    NOTE* Before you say that BIOS won't run because of the PSU, this computer ran with a better MOBO and only a 280W PSU for about a year before it conked out.
    I suspect that I have installed the MOBO wrong, but I'm interested in what the community has to say.

    Let's try this again.
    Here is my PSU
    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4974033&CatId=1078
    Max AMPS: 20A
    The power connector is in.
    CPU
    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1315482&CatId=4919
    RAM is KingstonKVR 2GB
    I will try running it outside of the case with only one RAM card. I still find the CPU dosent have enough power theory odd only because it utilized only a 280W power supply in the past. Only the MOBO and PSU are new.
