25fps kona 2
just installed a kona 2 card and am trying to take in some footage shot at 25fps progressive into FCP (footage shot dual link 4.2.2, deck is SR1). There are no capture templates and when I create my own the only image i see in the capture window is green/ pink distorted fuzz or flat blue. any ideas? running dual 2, fcp 4.5, 10.3.5, Xraid.

Hello Keith,
I am discussing this same subject for a while now with different people. I’m still waiting for my Kona 2, so I can’t say anything yet. I mailed to AJA about this subject and got this reply from Rudy van Koll. I’m very curious to know if you succeed in capturing your stuff properly. Good luck!!!Good news the Kona 2 supports varicam 720p 25; however one small drawback is
there are no easy setups for 720p 25.Here are the steps to create a 720p 25 easy setup.
1) Setup FCP with a Kona 2 720p 23.98 easy setup.
a) Go to Easy setup menu ().
b) Make sure the SHOW ALL checkbox is checked.
c) Select one if the Kona 2 720p 23.98 easy setups (uncompressed or
DVCpro HD – your choice).
2) Create a varicam 720p 25 capture preset.
a) Go to FCP audio video settings -> capture presets (tab).
b) Click on: Automatically makes a copy and puts you in
the preset editor.
c) Rename capture preset to Kona 2 varicam 720p 25.
d) Change FPS from 23.98 to 25.
e) Exit.
3) Create a varicam 720p 25 sequence preset.
a) Go to FCP audio video settings -> sequence presets (tab).
b) Click on: Automatically makes a copy and puts you in
the preset editor.
c) Rename sequence preset to varicam 720p 25.
d) Change FPS from 23.98 to 25.
e) Exit.
4) Go to FCP audio video settings -> Summary and click on. Name it Kona varicam 720p 25 “codec name”. This easy setup is based
on the new capture preset and sequence preset you created in steps 2 and 3.
Note: playback remains at 720p 59.94.Hope this helps,
Rudy
