  Kona 3 and Premiere Pro output

  Posted by Naveen Mallikarjuna on November 5, 2013 at 8:37 pm

  I’m running Premiere Pro CC 7.1.0 (141) on my Mac Pro OS X 10.7.5 with an AJA Kona 3. Kona drivers are 10.4.7.

  When I play a clip in Premiere, the video plays out of the Kona fine to an external monitor. The problem is with the audio, which “pops” a lot, or cuts out altogether.

  Anybody have a suggestion on how to fix this? Does 10.4.8 for the Kona drivers help, or is that just an update to work with OS X 10.9?

  I called AJA support. Forgot how good it is and that they take care things fast. Here was their solution, which worked perfectly:

  Audio Setting in Premiere Pro CC for Kona 3:

  1. Go to Premiere Pro > Preferences > Audio Hardware

  Use the following settings:

  Adobe Desktop Audio: Built-in Output
  Buffersize: 1024
  Map Output for: AJA Kona 3 – 0, Slot 3

  2. Go to Premiere Pro > Preferences > Playback

  Audio Device: AJA Kona 3 – 0, Slot 3

  Then, change the audio settings on the Mac

  1. Go to Mac OS X Preferences > Sound

  For both Output and Input, choose any device EXCEPT AJA Kona 3 (yes, counter intuitive)

  That’s it.

  Have you played out to tape from Premiere Pro CC using a Kona 3? I’ve a tight deadline project in it very soon and usually work in FCP/Symphony… Would be good to get a heads up on any potential issues!

  Best wishes,
