hmmm. At least i’m not the only one!
I thought I was going crazy. AJA support have only given me the advice that you did on your first reply.

Write back to them and point them to this thread.

I’ve done that.
Let’s hope they work out what the issue is.

Ok,
I’ve had a reply from Rudy at AJA. It appears to be a settings issue. Here are his instructions:

1) Go to AJA control panel -> format:
a) Set the Primary to 525i23.98.
b) Set the Secondary to 1080pSF23.98.
2) Setup FCP with a AJA Kona 3 NTSC 23.98 easy setup.
3) Go to FCP audio video settings and set the device control preset to AJA
Kona 3 23.98 Sony VTR A. This should get you 23.98 timecode.
4) Go to FCP audio video settings -> capture presets(tab) and click on
(this will put you in the capture preset editor and you will be
editing the copy).
a) Set the Input to AJA Kona 525i23.98 (720×486).
b) Rename the capture preset accordingly and save.

The difference between the original 525i23.98 capture preset and then one
you have created is this: The original capture presets looks for a 525i29.97
input signal and remove 3:2 pull-down. The new capture preset looks for a
525i23.98 video signal and does not remove 3:2 pull-down. The frame buffer
should now show 525i23.98 on capture.

I’ve done this and can confirm that it works!!!

Thanks to everyone who helped sort it out.

Perfect.

Thanks for the follow up.
