  • Cross platform shop – Kona 2 and Xena play well together?

    Posted by Craig Meadows on February 2, 2006 at 3:54 am

    We have two Kona-2 G5 systems and a pc graphics/3D workstation. If we add a Xena card to the pc are the quicktime files at the same resolution/codec on the pc compatible with the mac versions? Right now of course we have the kona windows qt codecs installed on the pc so for example we can render out of AE just fine then import over the network in to the konas.

    What I am curious about is if we had a Xena in the pc could we capture in premier on it in say 8-bit SD uncompressed quicktime and with no further conversion or rendering of any kind open those files on the kona 2 and play in FCP on the Macs?

    premiere will only capture avi files. I can send you some test files, or post them on an FTP site if you wish.

    The xena LH card however will work well in AE as a great frame buffer.

    The Machina App captures quicktime and only works with the LH series not the HS series that adobe works with.
