Beware of Kona colour issues FCP 5 and HD
We have discovered that 10 bit uncompressed footage rendered in After Effects and brought back into Final Cut 5 displays normally until any filter is applied. At this point there is a significant color and gamma shift even before the parameters of the filter are adjusted. This does not happen with freshly captured footage, only with footage that has been converted from YUV to RGB colour space and back in Final Cut 5. Standard definition does not seem to be affected by this problem, only HD footage.
We have a second system with a Kona 2 card and Final Cut 4.5. We do not have that problem with this set up. We are thinking of going back to FCP 4.5 if the problem cannot be resolved. Aja has not responded to our concern at this point.

I’m not seeing that here with DVCPro HD footage.
I’ve seen issues like this in the past with CineWave and if I recall correctly, it turned out to be a Quicktime issue.

So in the system that doesn’t have this problem, the differences are the OS and FCP versions, but the Kona hardware is the same on both? Sure sounds like an Apple problem of some sort, not AJA. I’m sure you’ll hear back from AJA long before Apple, though.

Joe,
I have to agree with you because we are not seeing this issue on the Linux side using the AJA hardware.
Cheers and best of luck,

It does sound like it is an Apple problem.
