  I’m cross posting this from the Kona3 forum:

  I’ve been on the phone with AJA as well as Apple Care. I’ve been able to capture footage, in-sync, with AJAs VTRXChange. My drivers and firmware are up to date. So, AJA says it’s a FCP issue.

  Apple Care stepped me through creating a new user, log on as that user and still have problems. Trashed preferences and Cache files, boot in safe mode to get rid of them, re-boot and we still have the same problems?

  Additionally I’ve tried capturing AES audio instead of embedded, no luck. Also, it doesn’t seem to matter wether it’s SD or HD?

  On top of all that, my old boot drive (and old install of FCP) aren’t working. I can boot off the drive but FCP freezes up if I try to open Log&Tranfer?? WTF!?

  Any thoughts. My next move is a clean install of the OS and FCP, tommorrow perhaps?

  uh, in your aja control panel, what do you have the video type
  set for on the input? is it analog?

  is it component (SMPTE)
  or component (beta)

  if its beta, switch it to smpte

  that will fix your audio synch capture problem IF your capturing
  over component.

  if its SDI I don’t know what to tell you.

  I’m capturing SDI from a DVCProHD deck. We’re going to boot from our 10.4.11 OS drive with the previous install of FCP605 and the old 32bit drivers for Kona3. It seems to work just fine. We’ll wait and see how things go with Snow Leopard/FCP7 and upgrade later.

  Thanks for the reply.
