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.

  • AJA Kona 3 and Final Cut Pro

    Hi,
    We have a G5 that has a new AJA Kona 3, Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, and OS 10.4.9. The problem is that when you try and do anything in Final Cut Pro it runs amazingly slow.
    Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Dave

    Have you contacted AJA Technical Support? I am not sure that that card has been cleared for use with the latest versions of Final Cut Pro (last version I knew was supported was FCP 5.1.2) and the Operating system.

  • New AJA drivers for FCS 2

    http://www.aja.com/html/support_swd.html
    Go get them when you're ready.

    1080i 29.97 footage in DVCPro HD (containing 24P pulldown - not removed). I would like to wait until tomorrow to report the details on most of my issues since I suspect many culprits and have taken many steps this evening to limit most of my variables. I actually bought a new machine this evening and will try a "fresh" install on the new OSX tomorrow before panicing.
    Today, I was unable to get any DVCPro HD 1080i footage to play out my Kona inside FCP. With FCP not running I could get the Control Panel to send out Color Bars, but as soon as I launched FCP, Blue horizontal stripes.
    Motion content was a disaster. Rendering a single text layer over HD footage at about 1 frame/sec. I will re-try this before installing the Kona drivers v4 tomorrow to see if that is culprit. I honestly can't imaging Apple shipping Motion if was as bad as it was for me today. I hope it is a driver conflict.
    I will see if things improve with the new OS and overspec'd machine (8 core with 1900 ATI) and report tomorrow evening.
    I may try converting some of my footage using Compressor to ProRes as an experiment as well, although I expect this to be after I get output functioning.

  • 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.

    "How to install? Uninstal existing manually or is uninstaller in yours? Also, Creative had the Console Launcher as a seperate download, 2.60.29 date 08/27/08- does your package for 2.8.0008 include? Reluctant to download and install Creative's due to past problems.:"?
    Yes My drivers for XFI always included the Console Launcher always it's better that way all bugs are out of the drivers.
    Here what you need to do with my set.
    1. If you have clean system you must installed creative official drivers set.
    2. Uninstalled From Device Manager then rerun the driver cleaner then reboot again.
    3. Then installed my set main Setup Exe.
    4. Installed Audio con then the Console Launcher the Volume Nob, if not do that my tweaks won't work right.
    5. Then reboot then enjoy!?

    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • 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?

  • AJA Kona Support in Premiere CS5.5

    I'm new to Premiere, and I've encountered some unexpectedly poor performance that I'm currently attributing to my AJA Kona 3, but I'm wondering what I can do about it. I downloaded a trial of CS5.5 and installed the latest AJA drivers (9.0.3) and Adobe plug-ins (9.0.1). Here's my system configuration:
    Mac Pro 4,1
    2 Xeon 2.93 Ghz
    16 GB RAM (10 GB allocated to PP/AE/AME)
    OSX 10.6.5
    AJA Kona 3
    No CUDA-enable GPU
    External RAID storage array w/ fiber interface
    I'm working with a mix of source materials - XDCAM EX footage, ProRes 422 or Animation graphic renders, DVCPro HD or Uncompressed captures - all at 1080/59.94i
    For starters, sometimes I have clips that shouldn't have to render that begin stuttering or failing to play, but after I stop and attempt to play that portion again, it works fine. This becomes very problematic during Export to Tape operations, when it can play through most of a sequence then hang up at the end. It seems most prone to this when switching between video codecs in the same sequence where they are not marked with any render-indicating color. I assume this means the Kona is handling those clips and should be able to play them without any problems. Is there some configuration issue I should look at that will address this? Maybe RAM allocation?
    Secondly, I can't figure out how to output timecode via the 9-pin RS-422. It seems that Premiere is not sending any timecode information to the Kona, because when I enable timecode overlay from the AJA Control Panel, it doesn't show anything. If I open a Quicktime file using AJA TV, the timecode will display as expected. Is there a configuration option within Premiere that I'm overlooking? Not offering TC output seems like it would be a major oversight, so I'm assuming this is something I simply can't figure out.
    Third, I'm experiencing an odd issue when scrubbing the sequence to find edit points in the audio. When I scrub frame-by-frame, it seems that the audio being played is always from the frame I just scrubbed FROM, not the frame I scrubbed TO (i.e., the current frame). This is not intuitive, and also not how Premiere works in non-AJA sequence presets. I'm assuming that this is just an AJA bug, but wanted to mention it in case I'm overlooking something.
    I know this is a lot for one thread, but I appreciate the community's time, expertise, and help. I really am excited about working with Premiere instead of FCP, but these issues can be frustrating.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • 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.

  • Motion playback on production monitor through AJA Kona LH card looks nasty.

    Okay, so here's the deal.
    We have recently invested in some shiny new things to equip an edit suite - a Kona LH card and a Production Monitor. Along with a Sony HDV/DVCAM VTR. Specs of our set up are listed at the bottom.
    Pretty much all of the work we have done in the past has been non-braodcast - we're looking to improve workflow and quality of final output. We work mainly with Final Cut Pro, but also with Motion.
    We have connected everything and have marvelled at how much of a difference it makes having a proper video preview from Final Cut (v. 6) as opposed to what we had before - firewire to camera to TV... Of course we were expecting this marked improvement.
    We were also expecting the key benefit of a video preview output from Motion.
    Now. We do get a video output through to the production monitor from Motion. But this is where it gets weird.
    When we do a preview of an animation, it looks really shoddy.
    As a test case, let's take a basic text crawl in Motion 3.
    Static graphics look great, but when you play motion graphics, the image quality is really jaggy and nasty. (even at full frame RAM preview, best render settings, full res - all of these options are apparently properly selected).
    So we did some test exports. Usually we would export animations in the Animation Codec, with an alpha if intended for compositing on top of a video track in FCP... we tried a bunch of different formats - animation, photoJpeg, DVCPRO 50, Aja 2Vuy, Uncompressed 10bit...
    All these play from Quicktime on the computer monitor just fine, but when playing from the AJA TV app to the production monitor, again the same problem. And then when you bring them into Final Cut, the same problem, even when you match the sequence settings and field order to the source video ...
    In effect, it seems that anything generated in Motion just doesn't want to look nice on our Production Monitor - even when imported into FCP.
    HOWEVER - if you drop the Motion PROJECT into an FCP timeline, all is fine!
    We know the AJA card and the Monitor are working because of this fact, and because when you generate titles from within FCP itself - the same text scroll, for instance, it looks perfect!
    I have also found when working with old composited animations originating from AE that you can get FCP to pump these through to the production monitor beautifully when working in an uncompressed sequence setting - or in an Animation sequence setting. (For an Animation sequence to go the the production monitor from FCP, the Video Playback option in A/V Settings needs to be set to "AJA Kona 625i25 RGBA" instead of "AJA Kona 625i25 8 bit" or 10 bit).
    The above point could be of relevance...? The only Video Output options from Motion or AE that apply to our setup and monitor are "625i25 RGBA" and "625i25 DV-RGBA" ... are we supposed to have more options?
    In short, we could work around these issues - it just doesn't seem right however that we can't get a decent external preview from Motion. A big reason for upgrading our setup was faithful video previews of animations from these programs...
    We also can't understand why exports from these animation programs can look so poor. I can export a video with a text crawl generated from a DV PAL Final Cut Project with DV Pal compression settings and it looks massively better playing through AJA TV than our test Motion exports.
    It just isn't right.
    Please help. Pretty please.
    For reference, here are the specs of our set up:
    Apple Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
    4.5 GB DDR SDRAM
    Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 9800 XT
    Equipped with Kona LH Card
    JVC TM-H1750CG Production Monitor fed via SDI (have also tried component, to no avail)
    It just isn't right.
    Please help. Pretty please. Many thanks in advance.
    For reference, here are the specs of our set up:

    Sounds like you are seeing interlace artifacts - in Motion's project properties, have you tried setting the field dominance to None?

  • 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
