  • AJA iO and QT problems

    Posted by Brett Cantrell on October 7, 2005 at 2:00 pm

    This sounds kinda similar to some other posts about camera recognition, but not exactly and all of the mentioned fixes don’t seem to work.

    When I try to open the log and capture window in FCP i get a message explaining that an error occured while configuring QT using my current capture preset.

    I am coming from a digibeta deck into an AJA iO box, a hardware connection i use all the time.

    I have two g5s here side by side and if I transfer the AJA connection over to the other system no problem, but on my system i always get this error.

    I have reinstalled QT 7.0.1, deleted preferences, deleted numeric .pkg’s of QT, and can capture via firewire from other decks.

    please help, if i can’t capture video my computer is virtually worthless

    have you loaded the Current drivers to both machines?

    remember that the IO takes over the entire FW buss so FW drives may not allow you to capture.

    And keep in mind that if you are using a firewire capture device like the AJA IO that you need to have a second firewire card for any other firewire devices. The IO completely takes over the firewire bus, just like Gary said. Easy… Just go to a computer store and purchase a firewire card that Mac support.

    I had the same problem.
    AJA has updated drivers for the IO. I believe it is for 10.3.9 or 10.4.x with an XServe RAID. I don’t know if you have an XServe RAID or not, but that was the same error message I had and this fixed it.

    Hope it helped!
