Bug With Kona Software 6.0?

[Mark Maness]

I’m going to add to this list of bugs…

I upgraded this morning to the 6.0 driver, thinking this is going to be awesome. Wrong! After the update and the firmware update, I no longer had video playing in my Canvas and Viewer windows at all. Neither would it play on my program monitor. All I would get on my program monitor is a still frame.

Nothing else changed and the video playback was set correctly. I am using the AJA Kona3: DVCProHD 1080i29.97 Easy setup.

I reverted back to the 5.1 drivers and earlier firmware and everything is fine again… AJA… Opps… I have to admit this disappoints me that AJA released this with issues. Its not like them to do this. Maybe 6.1 will fix this.

I uninstalled 5.1, upgraded to 6.0 and flashed firmware on Kona 3. Today I tried capturing with ProRes 525 29.97, and it wasn’t connecting to the audio 5/6 XLR. I switched to 8bit 525 29.97 and it was able to connect to the XLR channels again, then it retained the connection when going back to ProRes.

I found my answer myself…

When updating to the 6.0 driver, I had to uninstall the 5.1 NDD driver, restart the Mac, install the 6.0 driver, restart the Mac, then update the firmware and restart for a final time. After all of this, the Mac started fine and is working properly so far…
