audio latency
I have the AJA IO LA as input to FCP 5.04, and have noticed about a 7 frame delay in what is coming out of my speakers and what is going on in the time line. (AJA XLR out through a Mackie Mixer)
As I recall there is an adjustmet within FCP to compensate for this.
Is the 7 frame delay typical of the AJA systems, and is the best way to compensate for this to do it in FCP, or is there an adjustment in AJA?Also, Just installing the Kona 3 board should I see the same amout of latency in the K3, or will that be at a different rate?
Thanks,

You need to go to System Settings > Playback Control > Frame Offset and change it to 5. This should sync up your canvas, monitor and audio for use with the LA. The Kona 2 (and I’m sure the Kona 3) uses a value of 0. It would be ideal for you to use the LA for input and then monitor everything through the Kona. There’ll be less latency this way and you can keep the offset to 0.
Does this help?

I am still playing with the K3, and getting used to all of the codec choices. Using the audio out of the K3 sounds (no pun intended) like the best option.
In the mean time I’ll reset FCP to 5 for the LA
Thanks

5 Jeremy? The IO LA manual says 7, which would be right in line with the 7 frame offset he’s experiencing.
BTW Jim, did you read your manual? It’s on page 55 “A Note About Synchronizing FCPs Canvas with IO’s Outputs”
The manual comes with the IO and is on the AJA site too.
It’s a FireWire thing.[JeremyG] “You need to go to System Settings > Playback Control > Frame Offset and change it to 5. This should sync up your canvas, monitor and audio for use with the LA.

I think this was an old/first version of the drivers. The new drivers have improved the latency and they have switched the offset from 7 to 5.
From the version 2.0 driver release notes:

You’re right Jeremy! And it got me to DL the latest driver too. 🙂
