A/Vplayback issue
I’m not getting any audio or video playback through firewire. When my AJA Io box is hooked up via firewire, I have my deck connected via component video and XLR audio. The XLR outputs from the AJA are connected to my mixer and it is connected to my amp, which is hooked to my studio monitors. The other XLRs from my AJA breakout are connected to my deck outputs. I can get audio to playback in my studio monitors if I play a tape in my deck, but not if I playback from the FCP timeline.
When the AJA is not connected, I have firewire connecting my deck (Sony DSR-45)and the deck is switched from component to DV. The audio is still playing back in my tower.
Oh yeah. When I open my capture window with either connection and playback the tape in the deck, THEN I get audio on my studio monitors.
Why can’t I playback audio anywhere but my tower?
This may be a Final Cut question more than an AJA question. I just thought someone in here may be able to enlighten me.
Thanks,
Jason -

It sounds to me like you haven’t set your audio/video output correctly. In your audio/video settings, do you have the AJA selected as the output device for video and audio when you are trying to use it for playback of the timeline? What is feeding your video monitor, if you have one? How many of the audio channels are you using 2 or 4? When you say you get audio to play in your monitors from the deck, is that while it is hooked up to the AJA, i.e. the signal is passing through the AJA back to your mixer? When you switch over to firewire do you set your audio output to DV?

In audio/video settings, PROIO (AJA) is selected.What is feeding your video monitor, if you have one?
My monitor is connected via composite BNC from the deck.How many of the audio channels are you using 2 or 4?
I’m using 2 channels of audio. The other 2 channels are disconnected. I’ve tried connecting them and it still didn’t work, so I disconnected them.When you say you get audio to play in your monitors from the deck, is that while it is hooked up to the AJA, i.e. the signal is passing through the AJA back to your mixer?
Yes. The deck is connected to the AJA breakout cable and the breakout cable is hooked to the mixer.When you switch over to firewire do you set your audio output to DV?
When I switch to firewire, I set the audio and video to firewire DV.I’ve searched high and low for other playback settings with no luck. I just can’t figure out why playback is in my tower. I believe everything is connected correctly to my AJA, because it worked fine a couple of days ago and when I playback a tape in the deck, I get playback on my studio monitors.

So that begs the question, what has changed since then?
Have you done any software upgrades?
Added any other hardware?
If not, I would go to the AJA website and dowload the latest firmware and control panel.
Also try trashing your FCP preferences. -
No hardware or software changes.
How do I delete the preferences in FCP? -
You want to go to the path:
Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data
There you will find the Prefs file.
Drag it to the trash, and when you reboot your version of FCP will be like new.
